iPad is the New Christ

, Dec 21st 2010 Discuss [7]

Or at least that's what the folks at One More Thing are saying, in a way, in a totally fun way, might I add, as they've here created for the world an all-apple Nativity Scene (aka Christmas Creche) for you to print out and set up for yourself. You'll find all your favorites here illustrated to witness the holy birth of the iPad. God, forgive them for their sin (if you would consider such a thing a sin,) as this is totally a bunch of fun and in no way takes away from the fun of your son's birthday party. Read The Full Story

Boba Fett Christmas ornament and other geeky decorations

, Dec 20th 2010 Discuss [0]

If Jabba the Hutt celebrated Christmas the celebration would probably include a bikini-clad princess dancing around, lots of frogs in jars to eat, and a bounty hunter delivering a carbonite encased Han Solo as a gift. This really cool Christmas ornament has surfaced at Oddee and it rocks. Read The Full Story

Skyara Sells Experience

, Dec 10th 2010 Discuss [0]

As it is the holiday season when I write this post, I suggest thinking about something like this for the person who says they want nothing, couldn't possibly see the value in another gift, that person who you cannot possibly satisfy. How about tea with MC Hammer? You TOO can do wild and crazy things like a Trap and Skeet Shoot with the co-founder of MySpace! All of this is available (at a cost) via this fabulous new place by the name of Skyara. They've got the two experiences I just mentioned up for promoting this startup - other events cost anywhere from $10 to over $100. Read The Full Story

Gorillaz to Release FREE Album on Christmas Day, Entirely Recorded on iPad

, Dec 10th 2010 Discuss [0]

What in the world?! Gorillaz, basically the greatest cartoon band of all time, are planning on releasing an album recorded entirely on an iPad FOR FREE on Christmas day. Gorillaz real-world frontman Damon Albarn told UK music paper NME: “I’ve made it on an ipad – I hope I’ll be making the first record on an iPad. ... I fell in love with my iPad as soon as I got it, so I’ve made a completely different kind of record. ... It’s ironic, being the sort of technophobe and Luddite that I am.” Super fun gifts are being released up until Christmas via an Advent Calendar on Gorillaz website. Read The Full Story

Gifts for Smartphone Owners? Try Smartphone Accessories

, Nov 30th 2010 Discuss [4]

Those investigators over at Retrevo have done a lovely study on the holiday season in terms of people who own one of the following: iPhone, Android based phones, or BlackBerrys. Turns out they'd like accessories for their phones rather than for themselves. In their first study it was found that owners of iPhones and Android based phones both prefer gadget accessories over clothing, books, or perfume (I'm not sure why perfume was chosen instead of, say, movies, but it is what it is.) Only BlackBerry owners found it more enticing to receive a jacket for their back rather than a jacket for their device, and only by a few percentage points. Read The Full Story

Google Sends out Holiday Media Party Invites to Publishers

, Nov 30th 2010 Discuss [3]

Oh hooray! Drinks and hearty appetizers will be served? I love it! But wait a second, does it say what I think it says? "You are invited to an evening of informal (and off the record) conviviality with our Communications staff and key Googlers." Could this mean they're giving out super secrets we're just supposed to keep to ourselves?! Or maybe it's just a fun night to hang out and get friendly. Either way, super exciting, and soon! December 13th, 2010. Read The Full Story

Family still at your house? You need the Altoids tin martini kit

, Nov 26th 2010 Discuss [0]

I can deal with most asshats without any issues or violence. If people I know get on my nerves too much I just don't have to see them again. When it comes to family, we don’t have that luxury. You can't just stop seeing family in most instances and no one can get on your nerves like family. Read The Full Story

Foursquare Mocks TSA Airport Screenings with “Baggage Handler” Badge

, Nov 24th 2010 Discuss [2]

Perhaps you've had your baggage handled lately? Lots of people who are planning on opting-out of the radiation-ridden x-ray machine TSA is having everyone walk through before and after getting on an airplane will be having their baggage handled, if you know what I mean, when patted down by TSA officials this holiday season.
