poladroid

recently i came across a software, called poladroid, which turns your digital photos into polaroid-like images. the polaroids of mochi, manto, and mickey from my previous entry were products of this software.

at poladroid.net, you can download the latest software for free onto your mac or pc, and polaroids are just a drag-and-drop away!

watch a demo of poladroid

here's an example from one of my own photos.

(click picture for larger view)

to get the aged look (or any stage during "film development"), just simply right-click on the image and choose "save image now" when you feel that you want to capture the moment. a fully developed polaroid will have a pink check mark (it looks more like a breast cancer awareness ribbon to me...) at the lower right corner.

poladroid is a simple software that allows you to have some fun with your digital photos. i highly recommend it if you want to spice up your web albums or blogs.

new members

my friend D recently added two more members to their family.
they are two ★super★ cute maltese baby boys, manto (饅頭) and mickey.
together with 4-year-old mochi, they now have 3 white fur balls. :)

here they are...

i heard that the little ones are growing a lot day by day.
maybe i won't recognize them when i see them next time.

and i wonder if mochi got used to having 2 little brothers already? ;)

hollywood?

went to the supermarket for some grocery today.
after i got home and looked at the receipt, i was like "eh?"


the word "hollywood" was printed on the receipt.


hollywood at lucky?


it took me a few seconds to figure out that that was the name of the cashier...


holly wood...

i bet she got a lot of attention at school...

a pug's tale

mine. came

my customized magazine from time, inc. arrived in the mail a few days ago.

the magazine isn't very thick, but the paper it came in is of good quality.
you can also tell that the articles from each of the 5 magazines are chosen with much thought.
and the only advertisement you get (a mere 4 pages and no annoying subscription cards) is the lexus 2010 RX.

overall, not a bad concept.

the only complaint i have...
what happened to my choice of InStyle and Food & Wine?
i definitely did not pick Sports Illustrated and Golf...
