Asus Padfone 2 review
Know Your Mobile (blog)
With individual styling, the Asus Padfone 2 doesn't look like an iClone or a Samsung Galaxy S3 by any means.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

Key specs include quad-core internals, a 720p screen and 32GB of memory. Sound all too familiar? That it may, but the Padfone 2 is fundamentally different from every other phone on the market thanks to its tablet dock.

Dita Von Teese Debuts 3D-Printed Dress - Mashable

Dita Von Teese Debuts 3D-Printed Dress
Mashable
Style icon Dita Von Teese debuted a 3D-printed dress at the Ace Hotel on Monday, born out of a collaboration between designer Michael Schmidt and architect Francis Bitonti.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

Schmidt, well-known for designing Lady Gaga's famous bubble dress, worked with Bitonti, a Brooklyn-based architect who renders designs with new technologies in unusual material — this time to make a 3D-printed dress from hardened powdered nylon that still allows for movement on the body.

I'm sure it's a hit for the Ladies with all the new 3D printed outfits. How about man clothing ???

 

I mean, how do i awoid it if it should pop up in the Designers heads - I do like to wear ordinary clothes ;-)

'Iron Man 3': The Mandarin's origins explained!
Yahoo! Movies (blog)
So we went straight to the movie masterminds to get the inside information on the Mandarin.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

“His nationality is not even clear because he is shrouded in secrecy,” “Iron Man 3” co-writer and director Shane Black told Yahoo! Movies. “He has crafted himself in the manner of the Mandarin, of a warlord. And I think that’s great because you get to do the comic book but you don’t… have to deal with the specifics of Fu Manchu stereotyping.


If we are lucky this will be a blast of a movie. I sure hope so.

It also moves the film away from competition of an X-Men film, “X-Men: Days Of Future Past.”

Seven Tips From Ernest Hemingway on How to Write Fiction

Seven Tips From Ernest Hemingway on How to Write Fiction | Machinimania | Scoop.it

Mike Springer:  "Before he was a big game hunter, before he was a deep-sea fisherman, Ernest Hemingway was a craftsman who would rise very early in the morning and write."

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

Hemingway never wrote a treatise on the art of writing fiction.  He did, however, leave behind a great many passages in letters, articles and books with opinions and advice on writing. Some of the best of those were assembled in 1984 by Larry W. Phillips.
