IRL: Chromebook Pixel and AlienBees' ABR800 Ringflash
Welcome to IRL, an ongoing feature where we talk about the gadgets, apps and toys we're using in real life and take a second look at products that already got the formal review treatment. Sure, the Chromebook Pixel is expertly constructed, but you won't find more than a sentence about that here. Nope, we'd rather talk about its blazing fast LTE speeds. As for our copy editor Philip, he doesn't write for Engadget often, but when he does, it's about camera gear.
Lomography Ringflash adds bursts of color to your art
We know you're probably busy having fun with that oh-so-cute Lomo Oktomat, but for those looking to get down to business, the Lomographic Ringflash is all but a necessity. Designed to operate on the Lomo LC-A, LC-A+, Fisheye, Fisheye 2, Holga, and Diana cameras, this device won't play nice with your fancy Nikon or Canon, but for those in the know, the results are quite impressive. When mounted on your camera, the Ringflash completely surrounds your lens and "throws a burst of perfectly even light onto your subject." Additionally, an array of color gels can spice things up even more by blasting out psychedelic rays, and best of all, the whole shebang only costs $65.
