Scrapblog lets you make super fancy slideshows (text, pictures and videos), think of it as a great way to showcase your photos, commemorate a special event (vacation, birthday). The Flash interface is pretty advanced, full screen with lots of drag and drop and preloaded options.

At the moment, you can upload your own pictures or import them from a number of services (Flickr, PhotoBucket, Yahoo! Photos, Webshots), videos only from YouTube.

I am really liking the transitions (you can even add music). It’s a bit slow to load and definitely time consuming but Scrapblog is a rather unique product. You can add notes on each page of a slideshow like the popular feature on Flickr and finally you can even embed slideshows directly into your blog or webpage.
Here is a Scrapblog slideshow I created for the best dishes I’ve had in 2007.

While this move is now pretty old, its still one of my favorites, and our current governor of California does an excellent job as The Terminator. We’ve all watched this movie several times before, but if you have one of those fancy Blu-Ray DVD players, then this DVD is for you.

Re-experience The Terminator in all its widescreen, high definition glory… at a great price

Graffiti books are a dime a dozen but this is one of the best I’ve seen. “Street Art: The Spray Files” was released in 2005 and compiled by Louis Bou.

He covers graffiti, stencils and stickers. It’s a good survey book though it is unusually heavy on Barcelona (delightful city, you will want to visit) and Paris. I wish there was more emphasis on New York (or San Francisco).

You’ll appreciate the stunning pictures with the caption to identify who’s work you are looking at. For your coffee table or your art friend’s, this is a great buy.

Here’s a stylish little door stop that can handle even the heaviest doors. Why am I posting about a door stop? Well, I hate when the garage door closes every time I’m going back and forth to my car while moving groceries in… So, if you’ve got a similar problem, this rubber and stainless steel wedge is a great solution. I think you can even hang it on the door when not in use.
