Who doesn't like free? Especially when it comes to cameras. Yup, you read me right! If you have unused film laying around and some extra time on your hands this rainy weekend, you can print yourself some free camera paper designs.Corbis has come out with a line of free printable pinhole cameras, designed by various talented illustrators, and all you need to do is choose your desired design, download and print out the design, and take some time to build the camera via the easily understood directions.
Using a cereal box and a film canister to make your pinhole camera is a great way to recycle each item. Plus, if you accidentally break your digital or need a project for the kids to complete, this would be an easy way to introduce them (or anyone) to photography, and teach them what makes a camera tick, er ... click.

There is nothing sweeter than settling into an ergonomic office chair. You've tried the fancy ones in the store, but how many of us are really going to shell out $600 for a top of the line Aeron. Jon Aquino is certainly not. He's hacked together a wonderfully geeky and apparently comfortable chair for his home office. He used things you'd have around the house anyway, making the cost virtually nothing.
There's a little known strategy for getting into places without paying the cover charge. It worked for people many years ago and I'm guessing that it would still work now. I think the trick to making it work these days is to be certain that you're attempting it at the right event.
