I AM Skittles

Kevin W. — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 23:14:13 +0000

Skittles are ballsy, and I'm not just referring to the shape of their magically delicious artificial fruit-flavored candies. No, I'm referring to the move the company made yesterday by killing their corporate website, skittles.com, and resurrecting it as a hub for their presence on various social networking sites.

Site taunts exotic animals for no good reason, makes humans pee in pants

People tend to like to throw around a lot of hyperbole, proclaiming all sorts of things as "best ever." It really tends to diminish the value of most everything.

Italian lawmakers put a hit out on Facebook

Kevin W. — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 21:50:30 +0000

Bloomberg is reporting that the Italian senate has passed legislation that might allow lawmakers to force internet service providers in Italy to block social networking sites that "might incite or justify criminal behavior." The move was prompted by recent trials where prosecutors alleged Sicilian Mafi

This is juvenile, I know. However, that does not negate the fact that there is something inherently funny in an action figure of a Norse god rolling a fat one.

Google deems entire internet unfit for consumption

Did you try to Google anything yesterday morning? If you did, you might have seen every search result come back with the warning that the "site may harm your computer." If you clicked on the search result, you were taken to a page telling you that the content had been blocked by a company called StopBadware.org.

CNN inauguration pictures join together like Voltron

Kevin W. — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 15:08:07 +0000

If you watched CNN's coverage of the election, you might have seen a very cool new technology they were showcasing that lets you "dive in" to a picture and navigate through it like a three dimensional world. If you missed it, you can find it on CNN.com.

Shake it like a Polaroid picture, again

Kevin W. — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 18:24:00 +0000

A while back I told you about Poladroid, freeware that will let you give any of your digital photos the (ahem) quality of a Polaroid picture. At the time, Poladroid was only giving the love to Mac users. Well, Windows users, you don't have to feel like the Sneeches who have none upon thars anymore.

Now it's easier to get free, questionably legal, stuff with Firefox

Do you like movies, tv shows, software (or perhaps porn)? Do you like not paying for it? If so, you've probably used BitTorrent. And you probably have played around with different BitTorrent clients, trying to find one you like. What if you could download BitTorrent files without a client? Wouldn't that be handy? Now you can.

The economy got pwned, taunted by t-shirt

The GeekTout store is now open for business, and there's no better way to commemorate this momentous, world-changing event than to buy our Wallstreet: Epic Fail t-shirt. Just because society is falling down around your ears doesn't mean you shouldn't have a sense of humor about it.

He never has two cups at home... (or, this coffee came from where?)

Kevin W. — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 02:13:03 +0000

You know those people that complain that they don't like Starbuck's coffee because they tend to over-roast? Clearly these folks have a truly discriminating palate. They deserve a rare and unique java experience, that can only come from sampling a cup made from beans extracted from some sort of animal excretion.

Who froze my Christmas present in carbonite?

Nothing says Christmas like a second-tier Star Wars character, am I right? If you're nodding your head right now, then you might consider getting out more. But you might also consider visiting our friends at ThinkGeek and checking out what has to be the geekiest homage to Jesus' birthday ever created.
