DJ Spock knows how to lay down the hot beats. As publicity stunt for the release of Star Trek Seasons 1, 2 & 3 on Amazon.com, CBS put this ad online that shows Spock, from Star Trek, hanging with Kirk on the Enterprise while mixing up some Vulcan rhythms that are so fly, your ears will turn pointy. Bust out the beers, grab the Enterprise bottle opener, it’s time to get down.
Not every belt is built for hard liquor. Some are built for hops lovers others for gay pirates, but man oh man, I could’ve used this in high school. As for college, I slept next to a mini-fridge, no $18 beer belt needed. This belt reminds me of my senior year in high school. The chess team had just won their final match and needless to say I was ecstatic. Some of the “in crowd” were throwing a “school’s out for the summer” party, complete with Alice Cooper music and all. Yet, when I showed up with a friend of mine, we were not welcome. This made my blood boil.
When my blood boils, I do stupid shit. The kind of crap you go to jail for. While all the party goers were in the basement, dicking around with their inflatable Beer Pong Table, my friend and I raided the fridge. For one reason or another, no one at this party was anywhere near the beer-filled fridge. Bad move. Unfortunately, like every other person, I only have two hands. If only I had had this beer belt, I would’ve been able to grab more than the six beers I shoved in my cargo pockets and the two beers in each of my hands. Contrary to popular belief, another six beers will make a difference.
As you probably saw, T-Mobile has launched it’s latest Sidekick device. Also known as the “2008″ model, the new Sidekick is probably the best yet. I’ve spent the past few weeks messing with one and it’s like a scrunched-up Sidekick LX with easy-to-hit buttons. I’ll have a full review for you guys next week, as well as a huge photo shoot tomorrow (or possibly today). So keep your eyes peeled for that shit.
After the jump, the full specs on the new Sidekick, as well as a few pics. Be sure to hit the Link up so you can vote on my Sierra Nevada-edition SK08!

Art is pretty cool and all, but beer is even better. That’s why it’s so great that London’s Royal College of Art has teamed up with German brewery Beck’s to bring the work of four up and coming British artists to a cold one near you. As part of a program called “Beck’s Canvas,” 27 million bottles of Beck’s will be produced featuring the work of Rita Ikonen, Tom Price, Charlotte Bracegirdle and Simon Cunningham. Other Royal College of Art students and alumni are expected to participate in future editions of the project. Beck’s Canvas makes a lot of sense, because when you get completely smashed and start seeing double you can enjoy all the art twice for one price.
Oh shit, get on those pro flip cup gloves, we got ourselves a game of beer pong that isn’t all fun and games on your Nintendo Wii. It’s Port-O-Pong, the amphibious portable beer pong table.
OK, so it’s just a fucking raft with some grooves for the cups that completely eliminate the chances of cups toppling over from a fast ball throw. Half of beer pong is trying to knock your opponents cups over so they’re force to lick the beer off the table. It sucks for the suckers, but hey, it’s house rules. For $54.95, buy a rickety wooden table and some plastic cups instead of this spill-proof raft that ruins beer pong altogether. Seriously what is a beer pong match without beer spilling everywhere? Leisurely drinking, that’s what.
High tech gadgets and beer are both great, so you’d think that bringing the two together would be a smashing success right? Not true. Apparently, software developers don’t realize that the best part of drinking is actually getting drunk and you can’t get smashed just by looking at pictures of beer. First, there was the horrendous “Beer Pong” game for the Nintendo Wii. We all saw how well that went. Now, there’s iBeer, which brings all the non-fun of looking at an alcoholic beverage without actually drinking it to the iPhone 3G.
iBeer gives users to have a beer screensaver on their phones. It makes burping and fizzing noises and simulates being poured. With iBeer, you can tilt your iPhone and make it look like you’re actually drinking a beer. iBeer claims to offer users the opportunity to “brew and drink beer on your iPhone and iPod Touch.” Lame. This fake phone beer costs $2.99 at the iTunes store and, so far, the reviews for iBeer have been merciless.
I think we can all agree that drinking cold beer is the best activity ever created. But after a long day at the beach, drinking cold brews under a hot sun, we’re left with tons of empty bottles. Now because we’re vacationing in a shitty state (we’re cheap), we can’t recycle these bottles for money. So what can we do with them? Smash ‘em.
Afasia 1, aka The Beer Blaster, from Arcangelo Sassolino is a pneumatic canon that uses nitrogen to shoot empty beer bottles at a wall. The entire enclosure has a cage around it so spectators can watch the smashing. Every few minutes, a shot is fired from the canon and another bottle is smashed. So the next time you start drinking, make sure you start smashing if you want to have any sort of fun.
Is 9:15AM too early to drink? Seriously, you can be straight with me. Because at the moment, I’m desperately craving one of these Beerhandles. For $10, it snaps on to my beer can so that I can hold it like a mug. Why don’t I just hold the can? Because I sweat too much. It’s a glandular problem and the doctors say it’ll be another eight months before it stops. OK? Just pass me a Bud Light and we’ll call it a day.
Remember that ridiculously stupid beer pong video Vince posted regarding the Nintendo Wii? Just when you thought your Wii might have a practical use, in comes the Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal to stereotype Wii users as minors. Originally, the ESRB had given Beer Pong a T for teen rating, regardless of blatant alcohol references, making Bluementhal upset.
With all the controversy over a “drinking” game going to a system whose target demographic is children and childish fanboys, the developers of the game have changed the name of it to Pong Toss. Eliminating the alcohol reference has earned the game an E for everyone rating, which perfectly suits the old people and little kids playing on the Wii.
Hamburger phones, sandwich phones, pig phones, are all edible, or at least look edible. Breaking the edible theme of telecommunication comes the Beer Bottle phone. Both drinkable and breakable (to an extent) it even has a last number redial button just in case you want to call back your girlfriend who was done talking to you the moment she hung up.
If you had one of these in your room, none of your friends would ever doubt your taste in phones. However, your taste in beer would be in question. For $11.99, you can let all your friends know you like your phones like you like your beer: cheap.
