I found this article at Mashable about a camera that takes pictures that you focus afterwards. This mad device captures all of the available information and then once you have a digital print you can play with the focus point to your hearts content.
More info on the light field camera can be found herehttp://www.lytro.com/
My mind has been blown for today. I think I need a lie down.
In the meantime you can check out an example below. Click on the image for a focus point and double click to zoom.

Melanie Pinola — Sitting is killing you. Numerous studies have pointed to the health risks of sitting all day, but here you have in one illustration how prolonged sitting affects our bodies and reminders to interrupt sitting time whenever possible.
The human body simply isn’t built to sit all day at a desk or for hours vegging out on the couch. Many of us spend more time sitting than sleeping. To avoid the health risks, we need not just 30 minutes of daily exercise, the infographic advises, but taking every opportunity to get up during the day.
You don’t need adopt a standing desk; there were many great suggestions offered by Lifehacker commenters recently on how to avoid sitting down all day, like placing important items (phone, copier) away from the desk.

0It comes but once a year and it’s better than Christmas. It’s National Cleavage Day in South Africa. This post goes out to those poor unfortunates that have to go through the humiliation of being turned into a leering clown on this day. Those poor poor people, we should start a charity or something.
Anyway, here is a short video that tries to explain the anguish that these people go through.
