Year round fashion wear

Fashion in 1600 BC in the ancient times in Greece, clothing consisted of babies wore nothing, children would wear a cloth wrapped around their waist like shorts and they were bundled up in more cloths when the weather would get cold. Men would usually wore tunics that were made of linin or wool, I itch bad from wool that would not have worked for me.  Women wore large sheets of of cloth that would pinned in some fasion, making sure the cloth would stay in place on their bodies.

I will assume the colder the weather the more clothing was warmer and more of it. Today with the invention of a heater you can wear little clothing with large jackets to keep warm when you are outside and keep the littleness of fashion clothing. There is a new line of fashion clothing called “Find me Sexy?“, they are still in beta, this is fashion clothing for those that are little conceited. This clothing is designed for year round wear, just buy a jacket.

When you think dress up. Think Halloween Costume

This is going to be a good year for costumes. I mentioned about the popular politician costume, lets not forget the movie characters costumes this year will be Indiana Jones, Hulk, Batman, Iron man, the new mummy movie, and children dressing up as there favorite Panda movie fighters for Halloween.

Halloween originated under the name of Samhain as a Pagan festival among the Celts of Ireland and Great Britain. Irish and Scottish immigrants carried versions of the tradition to North America in the nineteenth century.

While you are reading this the term Halloween was shorten many years ago from All-hallow-even, as it is the evening of/before “All Hallows’ Day”, also known as “All Saints’ Day”. It was a day of religious festivities in various northern European Pagan traditions, until Popes Gregory III and Gregory IV moved the old Christian feast of All Saints’ Day from May 13 to November 1. In the ninth century, the Church measured the day as starting at sunset, in accordance with the Florentine calendar. Although All Saints’ or Hallows’ Day is now considered to occur one day after Halloween, the two holidays were at that time celebrated on the same day. The Church traditionally celebrated that day as the Vigil of All Saints. Like other vigils, it was celebrated on the previous day if it fell on a Sunday, although secular celebrations of the holiday remained on the 31st.

Enough history for now, back to current day. For the last several years pirates both girls and guys has been very popular for couples for parties, be pirate day, yes this is party day and of course Halloween.  There are more than 8,000 costumes online from the outfit of CostumeCauldron.

Technology, Cameras, Electronics and Change

I have lived in an interesting part of technology development on the planet. Growing up The major technology break though was the cassette player and instamatic camera. Then the moon missions came an pushed the limits of micro-technology with writing pens you could use while laying upside-down, Teflon on cookware, the 35mm camera craze, calculators, LED watches and lets not for get computers.

One of the other changes that I have seen has been the change in marketing products to customers. I have for years gotten promotions via catalog on clothes, electronics, cameras, music, books and many other things you could purchase though the mail. It was always easy to call an 800 number if you could not wait for the product and was in a hurry.

Back when the bulk of all catalog advertising that I received was about cameras and electronic stuff. You could spend hours and hours going through all of the different products. Then came the time to compare prices of other cameras or products to see when catalog company offered the best deal. One catalog that came back to mind was from a New York Camera Store that sells audio and Video electronics along with digital cameras. The camera store in question is 42 Street Photo. They had some of the best catalogs on camera stuff, now I found them reaching broader audience via 42Photo.com. 42 Street Photo is one company that has changed with times from cameras and photo reproduction sales to more of camcorder sales, digital camera sales and mp3 player sales. There business is still about cameras; it is just that cameras have changed so much just in the last few years. Nice to see a business make it through the technology of change.

Not sure about if I like the old catalogs or being able to see the product from the Internet. Both would be better.

Hand-crafted Custom Cat Furniture

With all the technology in business in tracking orders, creating products, how to maximize your customer base for more revenue per customer there are some businesses that still do things my hand.

The folks of MyCatsHeaven make their cat furniture by hand. They have available of your choice of modern, traditional, designer or just modern handcrafted cat tree furniture. Now their product is handcrafted, but they use technology to sell their product on the Internet to customers. Technology and hand craftsmanship can go hand in hand.

Neighbors new Pet

The neighborhood I live in is set up in one plus acre lots with lots of room between homes. Not the most high tech neighborhood where there are lots of dirt roads. Now I am blogging on 16GB internet cable access. The area is set up for families. Now like any other neighborhood there are dogs or cats you can find at any given time.

I can now say my next-door neighbor completely fenced in their yard to house a pet horse. It is kind of humorous that the horse will be found laying on the front porch. They use internet technology to purchase their horse supplies, this is where the internet enhances treatment and maintenance  of a horse of coarse.  For the last few month it looks likes horses take very little maintenance, who am I kidding the left-overs are almost as big as my pom-chi.

Old Craft of Glassblowing now utilizing Technology

One of the oldest known crafts of Glassblowing started over 2000 years ago in Europe. Glassforming techniques involves inflating the molten glass into a bubble, or parison, with the aid of the blowpipe and human lung power from a blow tube. The craftsman who blows glass is called a Glassblower, Glassmith, or a Gaffer.

The ancient techniques of Glassblowing is a glass forming technique that was was invented by the Phoenicians around 50 BCE. They even have pieces of the blown glass that was found along the Syro-Palestinian coast.

There are three furnaces used in Glassblowing.

The first, furnace contains a crucible of molten glass.
The second furnace, Glory Hole, used to reheat a piece in between steps of working with it.
The third furnace, the Lehr is used to slowly cool the glass that is done over a period of a few hours to a several days. these techniques have been developed to help keep the glass from cracking due to thermal stress. Historically, all three of the furnaces were contained in one furnace, the furnace has a set of progressively cooler chambers for each of the three purposes.

Glass Blowing’s major tools that are involved in glassblowing are the blowpipe,or blow tube, the punty,or pontil, a bench, a marver, jacks, paddles, tweezers, blocks, and a several shears. The tip of the blowpipe is first preheated, then dipped in the molten glass in the furnace. The molten glass is gathered  up onto the blowpipe. I am kinda glad I work in IT.

The glassblowing tradition was carried on in Europe from the medieval period through the Middle Ages to the Renaissance in the demise of the Roman Empire in the fifth century ACE. During the early medieval period, the Franks manipulated the technique of glassblowing by creating the simple corrugated moulds and developing the claws decoration techniques. As we can see there is massive history of the use and development of glass blowing.

The tradition glassblowing is still being carried on today. The acient techniques of glass blowing is keep alive though HandBlownGlass.net. Just drop by the their glass art gallery and view the HandBlown Glass showcases that are the best of what glass blowing is all about. You can can view the online glass art gallery, pick the style or piece you want and they will create and hand blow the pieces for you.

Old craft using Technology.

Looking for Digital Technology Bargins

Technology is a broad concept that deals with a species’ usage and knowledge of tools and crafts, and how it affects a species’ ability to control and adapt to its environment. In carbon based lifeform society, or humans, it is a consequence of science and engineering, although several technological advances predate the two concepts.

Technology is a term with origins in the Greek “technologia”, “τεχνολογία” — “techne”, “τέχνη” (”craft”) and “logia”, “λογία” (”saying”). A strict definition is elusive; “technology” can refer to material objects of use to carbon based lifeforms, such as machines, hardware or utensils, but can also encompass broader themes, including systems, methods of organization, and techniques. The term can either be applied generally or to specific areas: examples include “internet technology”, “construction technology”, “medical technology”, or “state-of-the-art technology”. That is very general.

Now we like to buy technology, it can be a breeze to buy on the internet, you will find easy-to-use websites that have seamless navigation and search covering the latest in tech bargains. Also you find a review of every know made product on the marketing, search “Technology products” and see what you can find. You can always ad to word cheap if you are looking for price. Cheap is also a good word to use the next time you are shopping for technology on ebay.
