Pileus is an umbrella connected to the Internet to make walking in rainy days fun. Pileus has a large screen on the top surface, a built-in camera, a motion sensor, GPS, and a digital compass. The current prototype has two main functions: photo-sharing and 3D map navigation. |

The only exception is the fine nude portrayals, which I usually have to find the authors to whichever images, myself. Maybe you are following the wrong type of crowd, seamaiden, because I certainly always like having to refer someone to the origin of such-andsuch work if I can, and half of the time, I don't need to do any research to do so, as the name is usually right below the image. - - - - - ombrelle noire et vêtement rayé #6 by moonchild1111
