Poladroid Now Available For Windows XP
Remember that awesome website called Poladroid that I became a little obsessed with for its ability to produce such realistic online Polaroid pics?
Well it's back, with a version for Windows users to download. So for all of you Windows users who felt left out in the cold on this one, download the app to get started!
Website of the Day: Poladroid
Now we can keep the original Polaroid dream alive thanks to a neat website and download called Poladroid! Mac OS X users (a Windows XP version is coming soon), just download the application on your computer, drag and drop your photos into the camera, wait a few seconds (like a real Polaroid cam), and then your retro-chic image should appear — utterly magical I tell ya. You can keep to pass along to friends, or upload high-res pics to the Polaroid cam and print them out for later .

Geek Tip: Age Your Photos Instantly Without Photoshop
There are a ton of things you can do with your digital photos and a photo editor besides just adjusting light and focus. You can make them into movie stills, or turn them into Lomo works of art. I happen to like the aged look, and it's always fun to turn them into Polaroids, but if you aren't using Poladroid, this can take forever to make the effect yourself.
Make Notes With Memories: The Polaroid Notepad
I have an unending well of sentimentality for Polaroids, whether they're really coming back or not.
Cue the Polaroid Notes ($15), a set of 20 notecards and envelopes. The images are sweet and dreamy, which is how I think we tend to remember Polaroids (rather than washed out and abrupt).
If Polaroid Is Revived, Will You Adopt It?
It was sad news when we first heard that Polaroid was halting production of its instant film, but as photography buffs who mourned, wasn't it partly our fault? I'm sure there are some shutterbugs who stayed loyal to film, but I would guess the majority of us have gone digital — an adoption that precipitated Polaroid's demise.
This January, hope returned when the company's former employees announced they were taking on the "Impossible Project" to bring instant film back into production.

With Pixisnap you can create photo mosaics or Polaroid-inspired pics for free. To get started just choose which type of picture style you want, upload your photo, and then customize your mosaic art.
How to Make Vintage-Looking Photos With a Scanner
It's like the better our cameras get, the bigger our urge to make pictures look old and vintage-y.
First there was Poladroid to make your photos look like now-defunct Polaroids, and now I've found a tutorial from Make that teaches you to turn an old flatbed scanner into a scanner camera that produces noir-ish black and whites, like in this dog picture.
Are you into making your photos look rad and old?
