Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays everyone!
I’ve been very busy working on a few home/gift projects and haven’t spent much time at the computer over the past few days. I will be making some new posts some so stay put. Until then, enjoy your sweet presents if you received any this year! And if you didn’t, maybe it’s time to buy yourself something awesome. See you soon!

Finally a great deal on a very overpriced hard drive from Microsoft for your new Xbox 360 slim! “But wait!! This one is for the old Xbox 360 and I need the new shiny shiny!” is what you’re saying. I know! That’s why you do the following:

Nyokki Grass Pets (set of 2)
“Nyokki” is a Japanese onomatopeia that mimics the sound of a plant growing! It is pronounced “n-yoo-key”. - eggling.com
Look at these little guys! Although it’s only grass, you can’t deny how, dare I say it.. cute these Nyokki Grass Pets are. I don’t know about everyone else, but I liked growing random plants as a kid. I once had a Chia Pet, venus...

Kiehl's Lip Balm Set
$29 for four lipbalms? Are you crazy?! Crazy for Kiehl’s?
I am, and I’m pretty sure this is the best lip balm ever. I’ve been through quite a few brands in my time, but hands down this ranks number one for best moisturizing action. No matter how much you put, your lips will just suck all of it up in a couple of minutes leaving it perfectly moisturized for hours without any...

[DEAD] Xbox 360 Wireless Controller (new version)...

LEGO® Creationary
This seems like a pretty cool game if you’re into LEGO or if you have some younger siblings or relatives. It’s called Creationary; similar to Pictionary. Instead of drawing what’s on the card and having people guess what it is, you have to build your word from LEGO pieces. Roll the dice to select one of four building categories: vehicles, buildings, nature or things. There is...

Gin & Titonic Ice Cube Tray
TITONIC! Get it?! .. I like how there is an included iceberg to go with your Titanic-shaped ice cube. With enough G&Ts, you might find yourself akin to the captain of the Titanic.
I think I enjoy ice molds a little too much.
$6.99 (+shipping) @ Perpetualkid.com

Android App: DTF Analyzer ($0.99)
Let’s face it, not all of us were born with an internal DTF sensor like MVP. For the rest of us there’s the DTF Analyzer. Hold the scanner up to anyone, and using face recognition technology and a complex set of algorithms we can tell you how DTF they are. We can even identify Hippos and Grenades!
Beware; no mention of ability to detect transvestites. Proceed at your own risk.

Hello Kitty Waffle Maker Iron
Waffles. Shaped like Hello Kitty characters. WHO DOESN’T LOVE HELLO KITTY??
As a guy, I don’t have an obsession with Hello Kitty. BUT I do like fun-shaped food like this. You get four well-sized waffles out of one batch that is perfect for one person, or leave out a character or two if you’re not that hungry. As a well-reviewed item on Amazon, this waffle maker would be a...

Fresh Traveler by Arian Brekveld
Personally I’ve never thought about eating cereal anywhere other than my house. And if you want granola with your yogurt, you can always buy the packaging that comes with both. However, this Fresh Traveler mug seems great for people who want a more convenient all-in-one form factor! It is made of double-walled stainless steel to keep your yogurt or milk cold, and it comes with a plastic...

Google's Chrome OS Pilot Program
This is the Cr-48 laptop from Google, and it’s going through a pilot program right now that you can sign up for (until December 21st). Picture a Macbook that merged with an IBM Thinkpad in terms of style, except it operates entirely off a custom operating system based off Google’s web browser: Chrome.
The Cr-48 is the test notebook we designed for the Pilot program. It’s the...

Rambling: Dreaming of Failure
On the topic of dreams, I occasionally have these dreams that I’m back in college, but they’re never good dreams. They don’t even take place in the college I graduated from. In my dreams, I’m on the verge of graduating, but also borderline failing a class that I forgot I was taking or didn’t care enough to try and pass. They seem too real for comfort. Those first few...
