Venetian Glass blowing

Last weekend we had a quick holiday in Venice and went on a glass-blowing tour.

We saw the above demonstration and then learnt how the different colors are produced with chemicals added to the molten glass. Also how enamel glazes and gold plating were added. They had a lot of their work on display ranging from drinking glasses, ornaments, mirrors and sculptures. I was most fascinated by the marine themed pieces with bubbles embedded in the glass.

Gadgetize your gadgets

The Squidoo Lens of the Day was about Laptop Skins which reminded me of the personalization we did to some of computer equipment in the past. We custom painted a monitor - not screen just the surrounding plastic.

Our ancient laptop has a rugged patched together look - more by necessity than design. The screen hinges broke and ripped the plastic screen surround, so it has paperclips and black cloth tape holding it together.

A few years ago I modified a friend's video camera to allow an external mic to be plugged in.

What are some of the ways you have accessorized your gadgets?
