The Cult of Lomography gains more adherents on the daily. What is Lomography? In short, a style of casual, free-minded photography that celebrates the “beautiful failures” of classic film. Lens flares, overexposure, bent images and otherwise are common with what were once looked at as cheap, novelty cameras. Today, Lomo cameras are prized for these qualities, a rare effect that can’t be easily reproduced in the digital world. The cameras themselves are thing of beauty, as is Lomo’s latest– the Diana F+ Glow in the Dark. The classic Diana F+ now glows silently, instantly inspiring jealousy amongst your other Lomographist friends… from $105. [lomography via highsnobiety]

File this one under “brilliant”. Why? A good song isn’t always planned– it happens on the fly, often when you’re least expecting it. What could have started as a bad chord, a missed string or a two-handed mistake could lead to the next Billboard hit. To ensure you never miss a beat, the Ovation iDea Guitar has a built-in recorder that captures those spontaneous moments of song writing. The guitar’s pickup grabs the sound of the strings, while a built in microphone records the vocals. The songs are automatically saved as MP3s and be transferred directly to a PC for editing and sharing. Whether you’re an up-and-comer or already big time, this is one brilliant song-writing companion. Just don’t forget to hit that little record button… [ovation]

If you were looking for a turntable on which to spin some classic Christmas carols, Redpoint has something that will go along with all that white and red.

Add some custom designed arm pods to the classy machinery and it may just be worth buying it for £10,500. [via BornRich]

While we hate to admit that winter is fully upon us, at least we know that we can man our way through it the best way– without lifting a finger. Just like our Husqvarna Solar Mower automatically mowed our lawn for us, we’ve found a solution to save us from shoveling snow this winter. The Roofus snow removal robot scans your sidewalk and driveway and kicks out every single flake that hits pavement. It may need some human assistance, as is shown by the included radio control, but it shows a lot of promise either way. The best part? You can take this baby into a cage match when she ain’t shoveling. Hell, she might even make you some gambling money under-the-table… [yankodesign]

There are loads of iPhone cases these days– and occasionally the case is so flashy that it’s worth more than the gadget… While many of these ultra-bling cases seem designed for the ladies than for men, here is one we’re quite sold on. This metallic option from Incase is a revamped version of the old slider case for the first gen iPhones. Additionally, they are lightly branded and do not really sport a very loud, lavish design– they offer protection, first and foremost, and for $35. Seems like an easy enough buy for everyone who’d need to pimp their iPhone, don’t you think? [via CoolHunting]
