Last night I had dinner with our friends Autumn and Kenny. Kenny brought his new camera backpack. This thing was awesome. It had one large compartment for a laptop computer. Since I do so much digital stuff on a laptop this is a must for me. There was also a catch all compartment for he easy to grab stuff like my mini tripod and whatnot. But the best part is the padded, adjustable pocket for the camera and lenses and memory cards and spare batteries and all the things that I would need when taking the camera out on a photo shoot. I admit it I have backpack envy right now. I will have to save my pennies because even though the pack is on sale at Amazon it still is a bit expensive and I made all my huge purchases for the month with all the other stuff I got and ordered. But soon when I earn a bit more play money I will get myself a great pack like Kenny’s.
The folks from Lumibricks sent me their latest building set, the Izakaya for free to build and review. Opinions are 100% my own. I've built a few sets from Lumibricks (formerly FunWhole) in the past and they are really fun and interesting. The photo above is of the Izakaya and also The Apartment. they are both part of a Cyberpunk theme called Neoncity. At this time there are also two additional buildings that you can build and add to this whole theme, the Game Stack and the Floating Train Station. The great things about these sets is that they light up. As you build you are also adding lights and wires and ways to illuminate the amazing build. Once you're done building you fire up some power and the lights blaze up. With Neoncity sets you get some incredible Nenon effects light signs and even neon tube lights. That is one of the coolest things about these sets is how the lights are incorporated into the build. Some very innovative bricks were made in order to thread the wiring...
