you have approximately four months before people find out that that pen in your shirt pocket is actually filming or photographing them, so start your covert reconnaissance today by buying yours at the International Center for Photography. and if you buy mine, I promise not to tell the bouncers at the strip club why you’re taking a really long time to sign your credit card slip.
“Slip this Camera Pen into your pocket and snap pictures or videos discreetly by just tapping the top. You can record up to 2 hours of video with audio or take nice, clean 2 megapixel images. It even has a motion sensor so you can record when you are not present.”
normally i’m really averse to all the pseudo-buddha, new-agey, zen-plated, “i’m a buddhist even though i was raised in a western religion” bullshit that’s clogging up the yoga studios these days, but i have to say, i really love this app called ommwriter, which, despite it’s spiritual inclinations, is just a really simple, beautiful, intuitive word processing app that comes with a very decluttering soundtrack and aesthetic. i would even say that the app is inspiring and actually makes me want to do the hardest thing in the world for me: write.
the website goes on:
“A wise man once said ‘We are all at the mercy of our wild monkey minds. Incessantly swinging from branch to branch.’ With multiple windows and applications all vying for our attention, we have sadly adapted our working habits to that of the computer and not the other way around.
Ommwriter is a humble attempt to recapture what technology has snatched away from us today: our capacity to concentrate.
Ommwriter is a simple text processor that firmly believes in making writing a pleasure once again, vindicating the close relationship between writer and paper. The more intimate the relation, the smoother the flow of inspiration.
If you are a scriptwriter, blogger, journalist, copywriter, poet or just someone who enjoys writing, welcome back to concentrating.”
