Friday Randomness – Creme Egg Cupcakes

For those of you who aren’t from Canada/UK/USA, I’ll have to give you a little background. A Cadbury Creme Egg is a glorious chocolate treat from Cadbury that comes out in the aforementioned countries only around Easter. It’s chocolate on the outside and sugary icing on the inside that even resembles a real egg, that [...]

Photoshop’s new Content Aware Fill

After the first photo demonstration I was like “Cool!” then after the second one I was like “Awesome!” and then after the third one I was like “bullshit.”

This new devilry could really come in handy when building Photocase splash page photos…

Photocase Photos in the Wild – 1st Edition

This is the first article in our new series “Photocase photos in the wild.” Anytime I see a Photocase photo in the wild, I’ll post it here. Last night I was strolling towards Mein Haus am See ( translation, “My house at the lake”), a new bar at Rosenthaler Platz when I noticed this beauty [...]

The boxcars all are empty, and the sun shines every day…

Maybe it’s because I rode the train from Leipzig back to Berlin on Thursday and I always get a little sentimental about the train, and I wish I’d ride the train more, but these photos on flickr by SW▲MPY make me want to quit my job and start hopping trains all over North America.

The making of the Photocase splash page

You’ve all seen it, and you may think there’s nothing to it; that we just pick a few photos, plunk them on the page and voilà: New Splash Page. Well, it’s a little more complicated than that (although not much more complicated really). The most complicated part is the politics of the choice, or what [...]

The Noktor HyperPrime 50mm f/0.95 – I want to go to there.

The Noktor Hyper Prime. Making hearts beat faster since 2010.

This is the Noktor Hyper Prime 50mm. lens is not only attractive, it’s also super super fast. Actually, f/0.95 is so fast my dad would take one look at this and swear (which he almost never does) and then make some comment like “you could [...]

Photocase adds awesome new photo preview function

This’ll be our last installment before our next update (which will be coming soon, you heard it here first!), and this post outlines the changes we’ve made to the photo browser page. Some people might call these mostly cosmetic changes, but those people would be mostly wrong. These are not mostly cosmetic, they are slightly [...]

Photocase adds new Sort Function to search results

In keeping with our awesome update round-up, today we’re going to talk about the glorious new sort function. You want to see your search results sorted by date, relevance or interestingness? Now you can. And it’s awesome. I don’t know what else I need to say about this, just try it out and if you’re [...]

Zipshot Tripod deploys fast but how hard is it to break-down once you’re done?

So this is the Zipshot Tripod, and the first thing I thought of when I saw this video was “so where’s the video where it shows the guy taking this thing apart?” but it’s there, you just gotta watch to the end. And I guess it didn’t look that tedious, but those legs look like [...]

Photocase adds new “Similar Photos” function

Have you ever found a photo and thought, “man that is almost perfect” and then you wished for some easy way to just continue looking for photos that were similar to that almost perfect one, but then you realized there was no other way to find these similar photos without starting your search anew? Was [...]
