This camera app is really useful if you want to protect the anonymity of your subject

In some cases it may be necessary to conceal the identity of the people you record. A common method used by journalists and photographers is the silhouette effect. Sometimes they also use editing softwares to both blur images and distort voices beyond recognition. But if you don't have enough time for the above-mentioned techniques, a new camera app promises to be the most comprehensive solution.

Aptly called Anonymous Camera, the app offers real-time face anonymizing while you're shooting images. Faces can be blocked with solid colors, static noise, or a blur effect. You can even choose to hide people's whole bodies and distort audio tracks in videos. It is free to download on the App Store and costs just $1.99 if you want to remove the AC watermark from video recording.


Other valuable features :

- Remove metadata: users can choose to delete any and all metadata associated with the video, including time, date, and location.

- Split screen: control how much of the frame is anonymized to perform interviews while protecting your sources.

- Local storage: all processing and storage is done locally. Nothing ever goes to the cloud.

Pretty impressive, huh? If you're interviewing someone who has good reason to remain incognito, Anonymous Camera will make your life easier.

Enigmatic Shapes and Psychedelic Patterns

To say that I love Sanagi 's work is an understatement. Looking at her art feels sort of therapeutic, and I find her drawings refreshingly intricate. They're trippy, psychedelic, and resemble something that you might see under a microscope. Not much is Googleable about Sanagi, but that's fine. There aren't many artists these days that still pull off the whole mysterious vibe, so I commend her for that. By the way... they're all hand-drawn with pen and ink.

These peg dolls would make a cool nursery decoration for Trekkies

I'm so dad of a little girl. Look at me posting about toys and kids apps more frequently now. Anyway, I really love this Star Trek Enterprise plaything. It's made of 100% wood and features characters from The Next Generation . It's smooth, built to last, and perfect for little hands. I'm not just sure if it's still available for purchase on Etsy.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.
