Search Box added to the Top of The Blog

The latest WordPress Search engine is actually pretty good! So much so that I added it to the header of the blog, on the right opposite the website name. To balance it visually, I added a tagline below the name. Thanks to the responsiveness of the theme, it sticks around no matter how small you make the window! If you experience any problems with it, please leave a comment or use the online contact form.

18×24″ Iconic Polaroid Patent Print for $16 with free S&H

The iconic Polaroid patent US 3253528 of 1966 [see Google] is one of the many 18×24 inch prints sold by Massdrop.com for $16 with free shipping to US addresses. You can select this during the checkout process among the various other options.

All sales are final. The orders will ship in late December 2017. If you are not familiar with Massdrop, they are a different type of a website, more of a “shopping club” than a conventional online retailer. They specialize in “Group Buys” like this. You can purchase this for the next four days. Because some of their prices are lower than MAP, you have to create an account and login (free to sign-up) in order to see pricing.

Here’s a screenshot of the camera patent print:

Mystery continues: Olympus Outlet Store still Empty

I don’t know if Olympus is “saving” the refurbished cameras and lenses for Cyber Monday, or if they want to “direct” shoppers towards their new condition products, or maybe they actually run out? Their Olympus Outlet store sat out the Black Friday festivities, it remained empty, and it still is empty as of the time of writing. I will be monitoring the situation and post updates as we get closer to Cyber Monday.
