I love a gorgeous book design as much as the next person, but I’m also a huge fan of light packing!
At least this iPad has a leather cover!

Rosary blessed by Pope Benedict
For today’s Great Catholic Swag Giveaway, we have a beautiful purple rosary blessed by Pope Benedict XVI.
How do you enter to win? Simple, just upload a travel picture to The Catholic Traveler Facebook page.
Any travel picture will do, but creativity counts.
I’ll pick my favorite tomorrow (Thursday, 21 July).
So far we’ve sent out prayer cards from John Paul II’s funeral and beatification and medals from Lourdes. We still have lots more to give away, so keep up with us on Facebook and Twitter!

I love this time lapse of the 134 hour crossing from Bergen to Kirkenes.
From the Vimeo page, here’s how they made it:
1. Download approx. 300 GB of raw footage via bittorent.
2. Import to Final Cut Pro and set the speed to 10,000 %.
3. Wait for over a week for everything to render.
4. Export and import back into FCP. Set the speed to 1,300 %.
5. Render some more.
6. Add names, music, etc.
7. Export.
