With iPods pretty much everywhere you turn, CD sales are plummeting lower and lower. There used to be a day when people would pride themselves in the size of their CD collection. Back in the day, vinyls were king, but I think the CD jewel cases had more of a presence. Now we all have white earbuds and thousands of MP3s.
The covers, booklets and even CDs themselves were sometimes very original and artistic. Here’s a collection of very creative CD designs, that take the hole of the CD and incorporate into the design.

Pretty much every product we own (from toothpaste to milk carton, from cans of soda to books) has a barcode on it. The barcode was developed in the United States by inventors Joseph Woodland, Jordin Johanson and Bernard Silver on October 7, 1952.
They came up with a machine readable way of representing data. Originally it was used in the automotive and rail industry, but it has revolutionized the way data is read off products by use of an optical scanner. Nowadays, barcodes are even used as forms of payment that can be “scanned” by taking a picture of them with a camera phone. (more information about barcodes can be found on Wikipedia

Yesterday I added my first fish! A Tomini Tang. His on algae patrol - eating up the hair algae and dinoflaggelates that have invaded my tank.
He was a bit shy at first and insisted on hiding in a cave, but soon there after he started exploring and started eating right away!
