I used to scrapbook—yes, I used to take the time to shape photos and
place them over decorative and themed backgrounds and then write
paragraphs of descriptions on each page. That was well before I had
children, when I had time to print pictures and when I had time to sit
and look at them. Since photography has gone digital, my hope has been
to compile photo books for each year’s worth of photos, but I’m seven

capturing life’s moments. Shapify allows you to create three
dimensional figurines of you and your family. Now you can turn yourself
into an actual 3D selfie.

Pet companies have finally realized that the toys most dogs love make a
noise that’s not a squeak. It’s the crisp, crunchy, crackly sound of a
PET (as in Polyethylene terephthalate)
bottle, the kind that water, soda, and other beverages are generally
bottled in. Whether it’s a preferred sound or the feel of the crunch
that attracts a dog to a water bottle, I can’t say, but dogs love ’em. The question is do you want your dog chewing on a potentially harmful
bottle?

Marching to the beat of your own drum is a whole lot easier when you can
take music with you. These days, portable music players take a
minimalist approach, and just don’t act like fashion accessories in the
ways that they once did. So, it is pretty great that one designer has
come up with a quirky yet chic solution to this.
