usually the tiny mirrors that are on camera phones are convex so you can see what your entire face looks like instead of just a portion of it.

it takes me 10 minutes to go to the store around the corner a pick up a tub for a few bucks. Probably less expensive than me trying to find dry ice suppliers and pay for it.

whats wrong with aero peek?

i didn't read the full article, but in order for it to work on demand, you would need to buy minutes from a wireless provider. Personally, even though I go to work everyday from 9-5, I usually don't leave at exactly the same time everyday, so the calendar would be sorta useless. And even if it did, I'd end up spending…
