TAG RESULTS FOR: birthday

The best part of any birthday party is the moment they whip out the cake. It’s the reason people still show up to birthdays. At least, that’s why they show up to mine. And who can blame them? Cake is a staple of the birthday party experience. The Cake Mail chocolate cake postcard is an ultra-realistic mailable piece of confectionery goodness. The faux cake features a printed kraft paper surface for writing your message and the recipients address. Each postcard... Continue reading

You might not be able to imagine what the internet was like before the debut of YouTube, but there was a time, not too long ago, where internet video went hand in hand with awkward scripting and buggy plug-ins. YouTube changed all that. Five years ago today, the world was forever changed when the first video was uploaded to YouTube at 8:27 PM. The 19-second video titled “Me at the zoo” shows Jawed Karim, one of YouTube’s founders, talking about... Continue reading

If you’re one of the millions of self-proclaimed “gurus” patrolling the Internetz, chances are that you’re on Twitter, spreading your wise guru words far and wide. In fact, chances are good that Twitter is your main stream of communication to your thousands of followers (whom all also happen to be gurus). If asked what your preferred tool of internet communication happens to be, odds are that you’d say something amounting to “TWITTER, OMFG!” So, to celebrate your Royal Gurunesses sacred birthday, there’s...

Hard to believe I know, it’s aged so gracefully, but the Rubik’s Cube is celebrating its 30th year of puzzling unsuspecting children and the entertainment of Asian 4-year-olds. Us Americans have to resort to sneakier ways of solving the cube, such as removing all of the stickers and re-adhering them in the correct spots. But what’s the fun in that? Bragging rights, baby. So three decades later, we still love you Cubey. We still talk about you frequently and we... Continue reading

Today, the Sony Playstation turns 15 years old. As it transitions from childhood to adulthood, your Playstation might notice some changes. Its voice might crack or become inexplicably deep. You can expect hair to grow in odd places. Your Playstation might also become increasingly interested in the opposite sex (or the same sex, we don’t judge.) After 15 years of Twisted Metal, Gran Turismo, Resident Evil, Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy, we can say that this is one system... Continue reading

In celebration of Mohandes Gandhi’s 150th birthday, Google has created a new logo doodle which appears on their homepage, subbing Gandhi’s round, bald head as the letter G. We have no doubt that CEO Eric Schmidt is also honoring his memory by locking himself in a cell and eating only one grain of rice.

If your lucky enough to pal around with people like Senior VP of Industrial Design for Apple, Jonathan Ive, than you might be fortunate enough to receive really unique gifts for your birthday. Designer friend of Ive, Paul Smith, received his gigantic iPod Nano from Ive and Ive’s Apple co-worker Jody. In reaction to the gift, Smith said “as the real thing gets smaller, he sends me a giant version.” Hey, Ive, you wanna go grab a bite sometime? Link

The Sony Walkman turns 30 today. Christ, the thing has got half a decade on me. When I received my first Walkman as a gift, it was accompanied by Green Day’s Insomniac album. You can bet your ass that thing heard its fair share of Ace of Base and Aqua by the time it had run its course. I remember my first Walkman like it was 12 years ago. Wait… They say you always remember your first. Do you? Update:... Continue reading

Mmm… Starcraft cake. It looks tasily Zergalicious. This custom Starcraft cake was handmade by some Blizzard fanatic’s awesome girlfriend. Take our advice. Don’t let this chick go. So, would a hatchery taste sort of like caviar? How does that work? Link
