Shapify Turns You And Your Family Into 3D Selfies

Shapify FigurinesI used to scrapbook—yes, I used to take the time to shape photos and

dimensional figurines of you and your family. Now you can turn yourself

LEDsafari lamps

 One of five inventors of the LEDsafari lamp interviewed an African
student who was recently trained to build his own LEDsafari.  The
