Very Cool 3D Miniature Modeling App (tipped by Brandon Fox)

One of the cooler apps i've come across. Easy and free.
Great to share/do with kids. Helps if the snap includes cars, trucks, trains, and a big "dof", (depth of field).
Here are two examples of my transformations. click on them to get a better shot.
Get it? These are real photos...of mine. Not models. You can do it too. And should.
Then post one of your own below. We'd love to see them.
OK, go to tiltshiftmaker.com. upload one of your pics. click. done. out it comes. publish. really, it's that easy.
And again, thanks Brandon!

Parental Tippage

In the ongoing series about Parenting Tips where the simplest answer is often the best, if you're trying to get your kids to eat slower, give them the most interesting utensils you can find. In this case, encourage them to drive their food around the plate before savoring. If not these, then find doll-size! Smaller is better! Teeny Tiny works best. Have some parenting tippage you're willing to share? Please post it here! (btw, you can find these utensils on amazon)

These are some snaps of my kids.
Some of you have asked for them.
Some of you haven't.
