Ladies you can now Adopt A Guy
Online shopping is fantastic. We get to look, browse and window shop to our heart’s content, and then once in a while we decide to purchase a few items.Now add the feeling you get when you walk into a pet shelter and have to choose only one pet to take home. All those big eyes looking at you lovingly. Now take these concepts/ideas and translate this into an online dating site. Voila. AdoptAGuy.
“Ladies, find great deals at the Supermarket of love” - their words, not mine.
But what it all comes down to is the fact that we, ladies, have the power in this dating site. We can browse, look and put men in a shopping cart. Pure bliss. Success? According to TechCrunch it seems that it is souring. With more than 3 million users, most fall withing the 18 - 30 age bracket and huge uptake in France, Switzerland and Belgium (the site was until recently all in french and the US site went live recently, with whisperings of a UK one coming up soon.) My verdict? I love the fact that the ladies have control. Would love to try it when it hits our shore… Not that I need a dating site. cough cough

This is sick. A little projecting thinga-ma-jigger. You pop in your iPod and wham! You can play movies on the ceiling, in your office, on the side of a tent.

To get you in the mood of what to expect here is a line that has stuck with me: “There will be a ton of real huge deals, who are the players? It doesn’t matter”

I wonder what is up with all my car videos of late. But it really does seem like the car manufacturers are stepping up and doing some really awesome campaigns. I approve of this out of the box thinking.
Anyway,…

It is December after all, so productivity is nearing zero and fun things get our attention. Well this is a classic song by the Von Trapp Family in The Sound of Music, but with a social media twist.
Have fun.…
Audi inspires artists with a white piece of paper

Nothing inspires artists more than a white piece of paper. It’s as easy as that. A billboard that started off its life as something quite plain and ended as a beautiful, hand painted salute to the Audi A7

The scenario: A night out drinking. The hours pass. You get home. Still not tired enough to go to bed, so what do you do? Check Facebook of course. The scenarios are endless, the repercussions are permanent. There is a solution out there.

Say what? Yes you heard me right. Patrick Hyland a graduate from Central Saint Martins has designed this awesome Nokia handset, it’s a phone that doesn’t need a charger. The heat from being tucked away safely in your back pocket, or the heat from a lamp could be enough to keep your phone charged.

One cool night, just a typical night, a night like any other night, a night with perhaps a faint breeze rustling the leaves, a guy decided to set his bike on fire and ride it.
