We already saw this bag covered by Amanda, who really loved it. And now I found it in grey and I adore it. I have an admiration of grey handbags and this Michael Kors bag does not disappoint.

All I need is to see the bag in person and touch the leather. Then I will know if I am totally sold on it. Because the price is amazing, under $800 for a calfskin bag with karung pulls. The leather is treated with a pearlized effect which gives a nice sheen to the bag. The other aspect that catches your eye is the multiple strands that twist into the shoulder strap. This gives a modern touch to an otherwise simple bag.

The Michael Kors Tonne Hobo is unexpected but welcomed. The hobo, measurements 14″W x 11″H x 3.75″D, and has a 9″ drop. The karung pulls are both on the front zip pockets of the bag, giving a nice separation to the hobo body. On the inside there is a zip pocket, cell phone pocket, and additional pockets. And I’ll get right back to the price, which finishes this bag with two thumbs up. Buy through Bloomingdale’s for $795.

Paparazzi Bot.jpg

There’s still a long way to go before an automated process is able to determine just what does and what doesn’t make a great photo, but the Paparazzi Bot is as close as they come.  
Ken Rinaldo is a faculty member at Ohio State’s Department of Art and the creator of the Paparazzi Bot.  He’s installed a total of three of these robots to cover the Winter Olympics, snapping photos of passersby.
Each of the robots is capable of not only determining when to photograph people – smiles are a big indicator – but they can move at the speed of a walking human and avoid obstacles in the process.
The name Paparazzi Bot comes for a good reason.  Not only can they move on their own, but thanks to infrared sensors, the bots will detect and rush towards people, mimicking the movements of frenzied photographers.
To learn more about these new automated photography robots, check out a great video demo, or see a gallery of captured photographs, you can visit Ken’s site, PaparazziBot.com.

Easy Release.jpg

If you’ve dealt with the release process, you know what a pain it can be.  Carrying around paper forms to secure the rights to photograph a particular location or to use a person in your shot is an absolute pain.  It’s a process that’s starting to feel a bit archaic, but ApplicationGap’s new Easy Release program takes care of everything electronically.
Robert Giroux is the founder of ApplicationGap, and he’s been planning Easy Release for years.  During the four years he worked for Getty Images he dreamed of a way to make the process simpler, but there wasn’t a device capable of doing it.  The iPhone, he says, is perfect.
The process is simple.  You can collect signatures right on the phone, and send out PDF copies of the release to you.  It’s even got a bit of protection built right in.  If anyone tries to change the release, the signature is cleared.
“A professional photographer wants to take great pictures,” says Giroux, “not hassle models with confusing and timeconsuming paperwork.”

I am in love. Valentino continues to make me a happy handbag fan. Yes, in the past, I’ve snubbed Valentino and thought that some bags were less than impressive. Today is not that kind of day. I am highly impressed with this Valentino Glam Tote. In fact, if I had some cash saved up, I would have bought it on the spot.

Before I get started, I must say, I really wish that Bergdorf Goodman would have larger images of products they carry available. However, luckily, they do have a zoom function. This zoom function has allowed me to fall in love with this bag. If it wasn’t for that function, I probably would have passed the bag by. But instead, I was able to look at the bag a bit closer and completely admire the exquisite and intricate bead work.

This tote is comprised of nude napa leather and has double top handles. With the tote being as large as it is, I do wonder if slightly larger handles would do the bag a bit more justice, but it wouldn’t be a deal breaker for me. I wasn’t really interested in the drawstring sides, but I can let that go too. See, this bag, it is just downright gorgeous. The stripes of mini-studs and crystals intertwine splendidly. And since some of the studs and crystals happen to be on the two-layer ruffles along the front of the bag, there is a bit of movement. I can picture myself carrying this bag as I walk through a restaurant and the the light being reflected off of the studs and crystals – amazing. It typical Valentino fashion, this bag doesn’t come cheap, but like I said earlier, if I had money saved up, this bag would be mine! Buy through Bergdorf Goodman for $2690.

Up until very recently, home networking has required users to do one of two things: string cabling everywhere, or put up with security and configuration issues present with wireless networking. Networking over power lines changes that by using the copper wiring in your home to carry the signals normally transferred by network cables.
