About a year ago I accidentally over-sprayed enamel model paint onto my apartment carpet; now it is time to move out, and time to clean up.
I hear nail-polish remover (acetone) works well, but I didn't have any one hand. I also didn't have Goo-Gone, Gojo, or anything else fancy like that.
I did have WD-40. Good stuff.
Turns out the stuff easily takes the paint out. Just spray it liberally onto the carpet, then scrub vigorously with a wet rag. Repeat. Soap on the rag doesn't hurt.
Let it dry and do it again until the paint is gone. If you have a carpet cleaner (one of those water vacuum things), use that to remove the residue, or else just rinse it and soak it up with paper towels and suck it up with a bag-less vacuum.
That is one moving day crisis averted, and one deposit saved. Go team!
I have done some more fake Tilt-Shift Photography - I really like the effect that this technique yields. The important thing is to get up high - I need to look into getting more elevated for future experiments.
I have been playing around with using photo-shop to create Tilt-shift photography with some nice results. I don't have anything that looks all that miniature but the effect is quite startling. I like how I can focus the audience's eyes by changing the depth of field. 
I recently acquired my father's old bike - an early 70's Schwinn Suburban. Since I often Bike to work (or just Bike for the exercise) I figured it would be worth fixing this up. It is hard to tell but the whole thing is rusted pretty badly and is missing its derailleur. I have one that I think is correct but it needs a lot of work.
