iPhone Adventures

Recently I upgraded to a smartphone, an iPhone to be specific, and have been having a lot of fun with it. Although I'm not super into games and apps, I am very fond of my Merriam Webster Dictionary app, which includes the "Word of the Day." Although I am not too savvy with it yet, I have found some cool accessories for my iPhone.

A few weeks ago, I was inspired by the pressed flower phone cases on etsy (http://www.etsy.com/search?q=pressed%20flower%20iphone%20case&view_type=gallery&ship_to=US&ref=auto3) and decided to make my own, utilizing epoxy resin to coat the flowers.

Here is the finished product:

The epoxy is very shiny, so I had some trouble getting a decent photo.

In addition to making myself a case, I got myself an $8 fisheye lens for my iphone which has provided a lot of amusement for me in the past few weeks. Here are some of my favorite (unattractive) pictures:

Setasha and I think our faces look like they could belong on the cover of Neil Gaiman's book Coraline:

And to add to this hilarious post about my iphone and the fisheye lens, I am including a link to a short video that shows some of the footage that I've collected this past spring (including more terribly unattractive fisheye stuff). The song used is "Radar Detector" by the delightful Darwin Deez.
