Nikon's entry into the mirrorless camera market may only be a few months away. Mirrorless Rumors is reporting that, according to "good sources", Nikon will unveil a new mirrorless system in April 2011.

Todd Bieber was skiing in Brooklyn's Prospect Park after the recent blizzards when he stumbled upon a white canister of film hidden in the snow. He had the roll developed, and found photographs taken in the area documenting the blizzard -- photographs that are quite good.

The "Photo Hanger" is a mini steel wire paperclip shaped like a miniature clothes hanger, and can be a neat way to display photographs your wall when combined with pushpins.

Novelty and awesomeness, however, comes at a price -- for $9.50 you get only 7 of these sweet clips over at arango.
