”Teeny Tiles are 2” x 2” x .25” ceramic tiles printed with your images. Teeny Tiles’ unique size makes them great for small gifts and decorations. Each Teeny Tile comes with an adhesive magnet that you can apply to the back of the tile. Teeny Tiles make great refrigerator magnets. You can even incorporate Teeny Tiles into tile work around your house. Since Teeny Tiles are so small, almost any image will work - images as small as 430 x 430 pixels. This means photos from your Facebook account or taken with a mobile phone will work fine. Images must be JPEG files and under 2 megabytes.”

The Tomy xiao is the first of its kind, “an integrated digital camera and printer that allows consumers to capture, view, and immediately print their digital images without ink, anywhere.  Photos can now be viewed and shared right away - anywhere and all from one device.  The xiao produces borderless, full-color, 2x3 inch prints in less than 60 seconds.” Available in Japan starting today, and hopefully, this will be available for purchase in the U.S. soon!

Running the Numbers is a new series by photographer and artists, Chris Jordan. The series “looks at contemporary American culture through the austere lens of statistics. Each image portrays a specific quantity of something: fifteen million sheets of office paper (five minutes of paper use); 106,000 aluminum cans (thirty seconds of can consumption) and so on. My hope is that images representing these quantities might have a different effect than the raw numbers alone, such as we find daily in articles and books.” The image above depicts two million plastic beverage bottles, the number used in the US every five minutes. Visit the article for more astounding facts and close-up images. [via jwilson33 on Twitter]
