Polaroid at Bocce Ball

Note: You can observe my conspicuously crooked nose. I swear I’m looking straight at the camera…

Karaoke Blues

A polaroid of me, courtesy of Sonny, performing a green triangle suicide on an Anti-Yo B.S.P. outside of O Izakaya. Shortly after this was taken, we went to Dimples, a supposed Karaoke bar. It was actually a whore house.

Pogo - Polaroid’s digital solution

Polaroid Digital Mobile Photo Printer, or Pogo for short, seems to be the new solution to the recent demise of the polaroid. Via USB or Bluetooth, this mini-printer uses Zink™ technology to free the user of using any ink. It utilizes “advanced composite material with embedded yellow, magenta and cyan dye crystals, activated with 200 million heat pulses, in 30 seconds, in a single pass”.

I’m skeptical this is going to replace the demographic and market that polaroids have, but it seems to be going in the right direction. Pogo seems to still have to many hitches to make it as spontaneous as the polaroid.
