This Is The Valentine’s Day Card To Get

vday_card

It might be a bit too late to purchase this card, but hey, any enterprising young man (or woman) could conceivably make their own copy with a few art class tools, no? And we certainly endorse it with much more enthusiasm than your usual crop of corny, schmaltzy, puke-inducing Hallmark creations. Being in love is great and all that, but who wants to be one half of that touchy-feely, lovey-dovey couple everybody hates?

Valentine’s Day Gift Guide: A Perfect Present for Your Kinda Girl

Valentine's Gift

It’s less than a week before Valentine’s–that dreadful day where it seems like there’s no pleasing your suddenly over-expectant girlfriend. There’s only one thing to do if she’s been bitten by the Valentine bug: give her a night to remember and a present she’ll treasure forever. Or until next year, that is, when you’ll have to do it all over again.

We’re well aware of the fact that every girl’s different, and that one woman’s treasure might be less of a gem in the eyes of another. With that in mind, we put this last-minute Valentine’s day gift guide together to give you a little nudge in the right direction so you can find the perfect present for your kinda girl.

Shark Sushi Plate: Eat Your Fish From the Jaws of a Great White

Shark Sushi Plate

Cat got your tongue? Shark’s got your fish? I guess you could say yes to both if you shy away from speaking in public and happen to be eating your sushi on the Shark Sushi Plate. These unusual but cool plates are handmade from clay by Avigayil of Avi Ceramics. You’d think that she was a professional sculptor or something from the looks of her work, but she’s actually a full-time biology student with a hobby of doing ceramics on the side.Continue Reading

Stick a Whooz On It: Give Your iPhone Chargers a Face (And a Personality)

Whooz Charger

If there’s more than one iPhone user in the household, then there are bound to be arguments about who stole whose charger, since there happens to only be one on the table where there should be two. End the charger wars once and for all with Whooz’s quirky labels that will give your charger a face and a personality to boot.

There are two sets of labels available for iPhones: the Character set, which features four very distinct and very loud-looking personalities, and the Color set, which features four colors for the less daring iPhone owner.

New Zealand Mint’s ‘Doctor Who’ and ‘Transformers’ Coins, Minting Soon!

Doctor Who Coin

It’s true that there are many things that money can’t buy, but one thing that it can buy is money. Not necessarily more money, but it would be currency in a more desirable form. That might sound a little bit confusing, so let me clear it up for you by saying three words: Doctor Who and Transformers.

These highly successful and wildly popular franchises are huge money makers, and now they’re going to be turned into actual money by the New Zealand Mint. You might remember the Star Wars and Hobbit coins they released in previous years, which were all kinds of awesome. Now they’re giving Doctor Who and the old school versions of Optimus Prime and Megatron the same treatment as these three entities are going to be minted into commemorative $2 coins that are going to be sold for way more than the face value of the coin: Doctor Who will be priced at $155, while the 2-coin Transformers set will go for $280.

Man Puts Himself Up For ‘Sale’ on Amazon–His Asking Price? A Job!

This is Philippe Dubost, and he’s putting himself up for sale on Amazon. At least, that’s what he made it look like anyway.

What you see above is a screenshot of Philippe’s resume, and it’s definitely one of the most creative ones we’ve seen so far. He’s a web product manager, so it make sense that he’d choose this medium to show off his skills and qualifications. Obviously, the listing isn’t really up on Amazon (I’m sure they wouldn’t allow it anyway). Rather, it’s hosted on Philippe’s own domain, and he’s dubbed the page as an ‘Amaz-ing Resume’. Amaz-ing…get it?Continue Reading

Maple Bacon Chocolate Sauce Is The Ultimate Taste Trifecta

Perhaps it’s a Canadian affectation, but I firmly believe that the maple-bacon flavor combination is as perfect and complementary as peanut butter and chocolate, or peanut butter and jam. The tastes are meant for each other, inseparable in aroma as some characters are in fiction: Bonnie and Clyde, Ren and Stimpy, or Tom and freaking Jerry come to mind. The Maple Bacon Chocolate sauce you see above not only combines the smoky-sweet goodness of maple-bacon, but layers it over a thick, sirupy base of chocolate. And just like that, you’ve got yourself the kind of concoction you’re going to be wanting to put on everything: pancakes, French toast, regular toast, french fries, on bacon, in your coffee, smeared all over your face in a maple-bacon-choloate induced nervous breakdown.

Each jar contains 5 ounces, which isn’t a whole lot. And it’s $10 per jar, which is a lot. But hey: maple. Bacon. Chocolate!

ManHands Manly-Scented Soaps: Because All You Need to Be a Man is to Smell Like One

Man Soap

Remember that song that went something like, “Walk like a man, talk like a man…” by the Four Seasons? They should’ve added something about smelling like man, because apparently, all you have to do to be a man is smell like one. That is, if the promo people behind ManHands line of manly-scented soaps for men are to be believed.

They do have a point. With all the floral and perfume-scented bars of soap in the market, a guy has to do a lot of searching to find one that won’t leave him smelling like a girl. The search is now over, though, because ManHands has got every guy on the planet covered. I’m just not sure if guys will actually want to use the soaps in their novelty-like line, which includes scents like beer, bacon, muscle rub, and urinal mint.

‘Doodle or Die’ is Kind Of Like ‘Draw Something’, Except You Play On a Browser Instead

Doodle or Die

Remember Draw Something, that interactive doodling game by OMGPOP that quickly went viral upon its release? Its popularity died out almost just as fast as it rose (I bet Zynga felt like slapping themselves silly since they acquired the developer for hundreds of millions at its peak) when mobile gamers moved on to the next hot thing in gaming.

Doodle or Die follows the same premise, since players are expected to enter random phrases and create drawings based on the phrases that other people have turned it. The difference is that you can play with random people and keep drawing and drawing without having to wait for turns. That, and the fact that it’s the players who decide what to draw in the first place. In short, I guess you can think of it as chain-drawing game of sorts where you alternate between drawing stuff and describing stuff as you play.

It’s amazing what some people on the site have drawn so far. You can check out a couple of impressive drawings done by other players after the break.
