New Tattoo Pict

Posted on by

This was my early birthday present to myself. It is a simplified version of the Aztec calendar (Sun Stone) and Ollin Tonatiuh.

I’ve always loved tattoos, so as to not overdo it, I’ve set myself a limit of one every five years. Since my time was up and I’ve long been fascinated with ancient Central and South American cultures, I found only fitting to get this one in context, to conclude a month in Mexico.

It’s now about 3 weeks old and has healed nicely.

AdSense Freebie Put to Good Use

Just received a $100 AdSense gift card from Google. I have in the past, like so many, but have never used them.

Since I haven’t really played with AdSense in a while, this year I’ve decided to put it to good use and kill two birds with one stone thrown:

  1. I’ll use it to promote two causes I enjoy: WordPress/WordCamp Montreal (once the new site Brendan is working on is up) and “Skateistan, the Movie”
  2. I’ll be able to monitor the campaigns and see if they have any impact at all

After all, there’s no sense in letting this freebie go to waste. :)

Satarii Star Motion Activated Tripod

The Satarii Star promises to be a pretty sweet iPhone accessory. The pitch is simple: “a product that makes your mobile camera follow your every move. You can video yourself doing anything without the awkwardness of asking friends or complicated setups”. Add the twist that the device is entirely crowd funded through IndieGoGo, and you’ve got yourself all the bits for a potential success story.

In the same vein, the Glif is also pretty neat, and funded in the same fashion.
