April showers bring May flowers
April 30th, 2008 | 
Author: And since we have hundreds of flowers in our photo store I think we do something about picking those flowers.
To celebrate the tax season being over, some April birthdays I know about, to bring in the first day of May and to get prepared for Mother’s Day, I think it’s time for a sale. So from now until Mother’s Day (May 11 in case you haven’t written it down) we will offer 20% off everything in the photo store. All you have to do is enter the code “mayflowers” and 20% will be taken off the bill.
Need some flowers for a virtual card?
Want to add some color and flair to your website?
Need some floral decoration for your blog?
I think we got ya covered.

Hold on tight! The world’s first unicycle MOTORBIKE
This is just plain cool!
A young inventor has created a motorbike with a twist – it uses two wheels but they are positioned right next to each other, giving it the illusion of being a powered unicycle. And even better, it might help save the planet.
Ben Gulak has spent several years building the electric Uno that uses gyroscopic technology – like the infamous Segway commuter device – to stay upright.
