Remember when you used to take the film out of your camera, head to the nearest drugstore and drop it off, do a little shopping or grab a coffee, and then return one hour later to pick up your printed photographs?

This process was fraught with possible problems – you might end up paying to process a blank film, or for prints of out-of-focus, unusable photos – but it was also pretty exciting.

With Printicular, you can now experience all the good parts and none of the bad. The app lets you print your photos at the local Walgreens, and the latest update has added support for Instagram.

New Year’s Eve, the night when alcohol-fueled confusion reigns. But unlike this self-inflicted bamboozlement, which can only be cured with time and a hearty breakfast, the confusion you feel when you start thinking about camera exposure can be fixed right now, using this excellent resource from Exposure Guide.

POC, maker of protective headgear for snowboarders, cyclists and other smart people who eschew personal motor transport, has added headphones to one of its helmets. This is both good and bad.

If the current custodians of the much-abused Polaroid brand have any sense, they’ll call this upcoming camera the Polaroid Android, and they’ll license the Radiohead song of (almost) the same name to promote it.

I have such low blood pressure that I over-salt my french fries just to give it a little boost. Or I would, if I ever ate fries. And how do I know this? Because I have a Withings blood-pressure monitor in my home, letting me keep track of the meanderings of my heart.

But if searching for your iPhone, and then your Lightning-to-dock adapter, and then looking for the monitor itself are too much for your fragile ticker, then consider the Blipcare monitor. It still comes with an iOS or Android app, but instead of a direct connection it uploads its data direct to the cloud via Wi-Fi.
