I’ve had some great post ideas submitted as well as a few contributions by fellow bloggers. I’ll kick it off with something Duane suggested. This clothing is even more snazzy than hypercolour.
With Kameraflage, now you’ll be able to plant subliminal messages on T-shirts, movies and billboards that can only be seen with digital cameras. This context-sensitive display technology, developed by Sarah Logie and Connor Dickie, works by using colors that are invisible to us but easily picked up by the silicon chips in digital cameras.

Very cool, although malicious t-shirt companies could very well use this power for evil, instead of silly amusement. It’s amazing what people can do with technologies these days eh?
If you would like to suggest a story for me to blog about, and you use del.icio.us just tag the article “for:miss604” and I’ll see it in my incoming links and credit the source. Thanks!
Blogathon: Post #8 – I’m listening to the Appleseed Cast because it’s an overcast morning and it makes me feel. Just feel.
I love being a part of a team. John and I headed to 7-11 just a little while ago (between posts) and got some coffees to prepare us for the day. We seriously don’t mind 7-11 coffee and lately John’s actually preferred it over Starbucks and Blenz.
He’s on his way out to Mission for a radio remote and hopefully will be checking in later today, sending me some photos so I can promote his event. Me, I’m loading up with coffee and a muffin. Caffeine and sugar, must keep it coming.
Shout out to Jennie Roth who also wrote a blog post about my efforts – thanks!

On Tuesday July 31st the highly anticipated Hospital Music by Matthew Good hits record store shelves. Of course my niece would turn to me right now and say “what’s the record” but I digress. Starting a press tour prior to the actual concert tour, Matt’s been pretty busy lately.
Every review and blog post I’ve read by those in attendance at his recent XM show with Dale Jr say his private performance was just amazing. Also, The Daily News in Halifax just gave the forthcoming album ‘5 out of 5’. Matt’s just been interviewed by the CBC and several other publications as well, with more to come. Radio shows and appearances are aplenty and he’ll be doing his best to update fans through his website about any public events. Pick up your copy of Hospital Music on Tuesday, July 31 and you can also preview a live stream of the album on his website until that time.

Actually, it’s going to tip some cows in Duane’s hometown of Chilliwack.
The Stanley Cup pays Chilliwack a visit [today], appearing at Cottonwood Mall along with Anaheim Ducks general manager, and Chilliwack Bruins co-owner Brian Burke.
Starting from Dakota’s Restaurant at 11:30 a.m., Burke and the Stanley Cup will be joined by a number of RCMP officers who will escort him to the Mall.
Burke and the Stanley Cup will be stationed next to Rogers Wireless from noon until 3 p.m., signing autographs and posing for pictures. [Chilliwack Progress]
It’s pretty bittersweet, as I’m sure we’d all love to see the Canucks parading down Robson with the prize hoisted above their heads, but Chilliwack… close enough. For now.

The brews at Steamworks are pretty good but when you hang out on their patio for 4 hours on a sunny Friday afternoon, it just makes it all that much better. I met up with Corinna, Adam, Tony, Duane and Keira before the actual event of Blogstock 07. I didn’t make it to the larger get together which took place after our little group’s Steamworks meetup since I had to get up early this morning.. *cough*.
Some of the bloggers in attendance were Chad Ciavarro and Danielle Rossi, two local bloggers who have been going strong for years and would have been a pleasure to meet.
I had my Nokia 6682 to take pics in the early evening, those can all be found in the Flickr set here.
