The Wii Fit: More Fun in French

geeksugar — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 14:00:45 -0800

There's nothing that Capucine does that is not mind-bendingly adorable. Here, the French video phenom tackles the Wii Fit, and even though she doesn't do too well (which she acknowledges), I am still jealous over the fact that my video game exercising never looked this cute.

Diaper Loading Baby Onesie Is Too Cute For Words

geeksugar — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 05:00:43 -0800

Being the geek that I am, I stopped dead in my tracks last week when I spotted this funny "Diaper Loading . . . Please Wait" infant onesie in a storefront window.

I think I'm going to have to pick up one, or two, for friends and family members with babies as Christmas gifts. I did a search online and found them on Cafe Press for $15 — they also come in baby blue and pink.

Kids and Robot Costumes, It Doesn't Get Any Better Than That

geeksugar — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 10:06:01 -0700

I love the weekend, and especially Sundays, why? Because it's the perfect day to post fun and adorable, videos like this! Over the July 4th weekend, Vimeo user Jared Foster got all the little ones in his family together for what else but a Robot Parade! I guess it took a lot of orchestrating from the adults - who are in the background directing the kids - but boy, oh boy are we thankful this came together so perfectly; Robot Love is the best!

Website of the Day: Random Kitten Generator

geeksugar — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 14:45:30 -0700

So you've had your daily dose of Lolcats, overloaded on CuteOverload, and have seen all there is to see on Ultra Kawaii?

Then get tuned in to the seemingly endless supply of kittens with the Random Kitten Generator!

Rather than having to wait a day or even a few hours for the site to update and give you a new kitten to purr at, all you have to do is click on the kitten on the RKG's page to see a new kitty.

I've been clicking like an obsessive weirdo, and so far I haven't seen the same baby cat yet! I think I'm in love.

The iPhone: So Easy a 2-Year-Old Can Do It

geeksugar — Tue, 20 May 2008 14:05:53 -0700

This should shut up anyone who claims that the iPhone is too high-tech! If you have doubts yourself about how complicated Apple's wonderphone is, then treat yourself to this video tutorial in which a 2-year-old cutie demonstrates how to use an iPhone, from making notes and calls to watching videos and taking photos.

Edible Geek: Kindle Cake

geeksugar — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 09:00:36 -0700

We seriously thought she had enough baking adventures with the Helio Cake last Summer, but TeamSugar user Lilpeapod strikes again with this totally awesome Kindle cake that she "whipped up" this past weekend.

And it couldn't come at a better time with us announcing our giveaway of a real Kindle earlier this morning! Although this baby isn't included in the giveaway, it looks pretty crave-worthy nonetheless.
"I've been jonesing for a Kindle for weeks now, and since I can't get the real thing just yet, I thought I would make a Kindle cake to show my love." says Lilpeapod. "It was tons easier than the Helio Cake, but this time I made it just for fun so there was way less pressure!" Baked gadget goodness, just for fun? Kudos to you, Lilpeapod! Kudos to you.

Do you ever see something that totally reminds you of, or looks like a face? As much as you try to shake the fact that a rock or a cloud is smiling at you, you just can't? Well when TeamSugar user Calamari sent Faces in Places to me, I couldn't get over how many recognizable human faces there are on everyday things. I'm already addicted to this site, and can't help but check out all the new photos of faces in places. Trust me, the more faces you see, the more visible they will become — kinda like a sixth "faces in places" sense!

Star Wars Made Simple, or the Cutest YouTube Video Ever

geeksugar — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 13:07:52 -0800

If this video of a 3-year-old girl explaining the fine plot points of Star Wars doesn't totally kill you, you may be completely hopeless. The poster says this is his daughter explaining Episode IV with absolutely no coaching, and after seeing the movie only once! Not only is she right on in her analysis ("It's an exciting movie. . ."), but she also has your back with some sound advice: "Don't talk back to Darth Vader, he'll getcha!"

Omg. Just omg.

Mini Vacuum Friends: Love It or Leave It?

It takes one little piggy to dirty your desk, and I suspect it'll take another little piggy to clean it up! Who knows if these battery-powered Mini Vacuum Friends — available as a pig or elephant — are worth the $20, but they are pretty adorable. Billed by Fred Flare as a desk accessory, you might have more luck cleaning up your dirty work space with compressed air. What do you think of the cute little guys?

Normally I get my Ultra Kawaii fix while reclining on my couch via TiVoCast, but I also have been known to obsess over their website. It's uncomplicated and completely adorable — puppies, kitties, and other cute animals being cute. My love for Ultra Kawaii rivals my debilitating addictions to the Lolcats and CuteOverload. There are pictures of dogs in clothes, videos of kitties in boxes, and my favorite Ultra Kawaii video of all time: Geeky pets! Come on. Don't pretend like you don't love it!

Edible Geek: Pacman Cupcakes

Flickr user hello_naomi has done it again with her baked-to-edible-geek-perfection video game inspired cupcakes! These vibrant Pacman treats come adorned with the cherries, ghosts and golden Pacman taken from the original arcade video game. Hello naomi confesses that she's added a touch of "artists interpretation" to her geekilicious creations by including an eye on Pacman—Maybe it's just me but I think Pacman looks much better with an eye, now he can see what he's eating! And if you happened to miss her Super Mario cupcakes, you've got to check them out, they are absolutely scrumptious! Scroll down for more Pacman cupcake pics!

Could these edible geek cupcakes be any more picture perfect? With the recent release of Super Mario Galaxy, I can't think of a better excuse to indulge with some Super Mario cupcakes covered with ghosts, stars, mushrooms, man-eating plants, gold coins and Mario himself. The gaming gods at Kotaku showcased these fine pastries which were displayed on flickr. Scroll down for more images! Think these are great? Check out more of hello naomi's scrumptious cupcakes.

Hello Kitty AND Snoopy Cell Phones? You Shouldn't Have

geeksugar — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 08:00:05 -0700

If you are sick of white cats and anything that resembles Hello Kitty, I apologize. But for those of you who can appreciate a good themed phone every now and then, check out these Snoopy and Hello Kitty cell phones. A far cry from the innocent HK phone by Okwap, these vibrant Toshiba 815T models come with a matching bag, cell phone strap and jewel box, plus come fully loaded with themed wallpapers, screensavers and ringtones—what does a Hello Kitty ringtone sound like anyway? Featured on Gizmodiva, the 815T also includes face recognition software which is pretty cool and prevents anyone else from unlocking it! Currently these phones are only available in—you guessed it, Japan.

The Hello Kitty Mobile Phone by Okwap

geeksugar — Sun, 14 Oct 2007 11:02:19 -0700

Hello Kitty makes her return with the Okwap C150T mobile phone which surprisingly boasts some incredible features. This GSM handset not only comes with a built-in media player but a ton of Hello Kitty themes and backgrounds as well. Featured on GeekAlerts, the C150T also includes a two-megapixel camera, unlike the Beyonce phone which only has a 1.3-megapixel camera. For all of you HK fans, you'll have to go to Taiwan to get one of these phones. No word on pricing just yet. It kinda reminds me of a decked out Sony Ericsson with Hello Kitty decals.

Hello Kitty Bluetooth Earphones: Love or Leave?

geeksugar — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 07:02:20 -0700

Maybe instead of asking if you like this, I should be asking: What's worse — Hello Kitty or Bluetooth ear pieces? As Molly Shannon would say, "Don't even get me started!" Thankfully this Hello Kitty Bluetooth Wireless Earphone set isn't pink and covered with Hello Kitty stickers (don't the ear buds look like they're Roxy?!) This 4-in-1 gadget contraption costs $135 and can be used with your iPod, mp3 player, Nintendo DS, PSP or TV. With the set you get a lanyard, 2 sets of earphone covers, a household charger, and a USB charger. Could you see yourself using this or no?

After learning that a majority of women prefer sleek and sophisticated tech products over feminine and girlie pink products, I'm curious to know how many of you are loving these new Xbox 360 wireless controllers? Featured on Joystiq, these new controllers are set to be released on October 2nd and cost $50 each. With a 30-foot range, up to 40 hours of life and two-way voice communication when connected to the 360, these controllers may boast more than just their good looks.

I don't know if I would go as far to say that this is a new and improved Hello Kitty mouse, but I will say it is one of the smaller models on the market. Like so many other peripherals, this mouse easily connects to your computer via a cute USB cord. I'm assuming that the bow operates as both left and right click buttons as the scroll wheel is right in the center. Displayed on Chip Chick this optical mouse costs $10 at DealExtreme.

Moment of Geek: Mac Cupcakes

geeksugar — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 03:30:49 -0700

Today's Moment of Geek comes to us courtesy of FitSugar's friend, who has a custom cake business, Cakes By 2 Moms, in the Bay Area. What I like about these edible geek treats in comparison to the oodles of video game cakes we've seen, is the fact that they look like something I'd like to eat. They aren't covered in inches of fondant, but they still tout some serious geek cred and creative designs. Can you name all the Mac navigation controls and functions keys on the cupcakes?

Website Of The Day: Hello Kitty Hell

geeksugar — Thu, 16 Aug 2007 13:00:34 -0700

I see a lot of Hello Kitty gadgets everyday, but I never considered what it might be like to be the parent or spouse of a pink-obsessed fairy princess until I became a fan of Hello Kitty Hell. The site was created by the husband of a Hello Kitty fanatic as an attempt to process, cope and poke fun at his wife's obsession. He posts all the smiley pink goodness he can find, like this 24-karat gold, Swarovski crystal beads covered Hello Kitty Business card case that costs $225.

fairy MK, who nominated the site as Website of the Day says: "First off, he HATES Hello Kitty. And this guy shows tons and tons of Hello Kitty products — it's really interesting to see her domination over the world and all the Hello Kitty products. Some are hilarious while others are confusing."

Worried about Jimmy learning you sent a saucy text about him to Tara? Does your boss walk by your desk and hover over your smartphone? If you answered yes to either of those questions, and you lust after Hello Kitty items, you are in luck. Cell phone charm fans Strapa World are selling a "Hello Kitty Cell Phone Mail Peeping Block Mirror Sticker Sheet" set that will protect your cell screen from curious peeping Toms or Tanyas. The sheets are decorated with your choice of Sanrio characters and cost about $8.

By design emergencies are stressful, freaky situations that wreck your mood and shake your world. But wouldn't they be a little bit happier if you had a Hello Kitty Hand Crank Generator by your side? The smiley little device includes a tiny port on the side and houses a 9V battery for whenever your arm gets tired. Lost in the woods? A non-electronic compass will help you keep your bearings and a LED flashlight will keep you on the right path. Of course, don't forget an AM/FM radio so you can listen to emergency broadcasts!

And because no one wants to get stuck without a charged cell phone - this bad boy can juice up your cell phone too. Who would want such a device? Certainly not the guy from Hello Kitty Hell.

Totally Geeky or Geek Chic? 'Geek' Inspired Cakes

geeksugar — Wed, 06 Jun 2007 16:00:46 -0700

We've all had more than our fair share of edible geek items in recent months, or at the very least ogled them, so I figured it was high time we settle this debate once and for all. From Rubik's Cube cakes, TiVo cakes, Helio Ocean cakes and even meticulously planned Super Mario and Zelda bride and groom cakes - there isn't a slice we haven't seen. Or at least so I thought, until I happened upon the Max Webo cake. Webo was a breaking point for me because it was so geeky I didn't remember know who it was. Yes, that's right I didn't know that Webo performed for Jabba the Hutt in Return of the Jedi. So what do you think: Has this edible geek phase gone too far or is it only the beginning? Source

Edible Geek: Helio Ocean Cake

geeksugar — Tue, 29 May 2007 09:04:58 -0700

I must admit, I had a little warning that LilPeaPod was planning on making her boyfriend a special Helio Ocean Cake so it was all I could think about this weekend. It turned out a bajillion times more beautiful than I dreamed and certainly outdoes the Rubik's Cube cake, matching his and her TiVo cakes and even an assortment of geeky wedding cakes. "I wanted to do something really special for the BBQ we were having in his honor," said LilPeaPod. "After tossing around ideas of gifts, I came up empty handed. He has everything that he wants! What could top his Helio Ocean?! That's right my friends, A Helio Ocean CAKE!!! My Mom helped me with the details, walked me through frosting the cake, how to use fondant, painting the pieces with food coloring and four point five hours later we had this masterpiece."

Edible Geek: Rubik's Cube Cake

geeksugar — Wed, 23 May 2007 10:00:04 -0700

Knowing that there are people out there that love Super Marios Bros., Nintendo and Star Wars enough to make geeky bride and groom cakes should have been all the warning I needed to ease me into this Rubik's Cube Cake, but somehow it just wasn't. The maker was a British fellow, James Kemp, who has always been a fan of the Rubik's cube. "I first got a cube as a 12 year old in England back in 1980 and have been hooked ever since," Kemp says. His local pub held a competition for the gentlemen who were regulars to bake a cake (seriously, how come my local pub hasn't thought of that?). Mr. Rubik's cube won of course - beating out 11 other cakes.

Somehow, this one beats out the his and her TiVo cakes on the geek chic scale. You can follow the recipe and make it yourself, but if you do, you better send me a photo!

This limited edition Hello Kitty car - limited meaning one and only one was made in Tokyo last year - is entirely pink with matching wheels, making it prime geeksugar talk. The Hello Kitty trademark ribbon logo is splattered on the front doors and roof, while the rear doors get a “Princess Kitty” graphic with the lovable cartoon character’s face. Both back window and side view mirrors also get a Hello Kitty face decal as well. According to autoblog.com, one lucky buyer got to purchase the car for ¥2,100,000 ($18,200), with most of the proceeds going to Japan's UNICEF. Seems like a good price for a unique Hello Kitty car? Would you have to be a total geek to drive one of these?

geeksugar — Thu, 08 Mar 2007 10:00:09 -0800

My theory about cuteoverload is this: If you don't love it, you don't have a heart.

A favorite of pet lovers, pet haters and anyone that needs a midday smile, the site offers all the cuteness one might get at a Hello Kitty factory filled with young children, candy and endless soda fountains...built in a pet heaven, of course. From birds and bunnies to pups and cats, there's no fuzzy creature that's too cute, too primped or too pathetic (see "sad or cute?" section).

Time Magazine calls the site a "No. 1 Mood Lifter - sometimes you just need to look at pictures of kittens" and the Washington Post says it "is more than a hobby, it's a lifestyle, a religion." I fall somewhere in between, but I can certainly admit nearly every image brings a giant smile to my face. For an example of the cuteness,

Hello Kitty Keyboard Cleaner - You Know You Want It!

When it comes to Hello Kitty gadgets finding the best of the best is a full time job. One of my all time favorite blogs Hello Kitty Hell addresses the love hate relationship we all have with the oh-so-pink-and-fluffy icon in the best of ways. The site's editor is married to a woman that's oh-so-in-love with Hello Kitty, and thus living in his own personal Hello Kitty Hell. Regardless of his likes and dislikes, he has found something I know quite a few of you will have an opinion about: the Hello Kitty Keyboard Cleaner.

I give this one two thumbs up for function because cleaning your keyboard is never fun, but the question of whether or not such items are chic is a whole different story. For another photo, just

When it comes to USB gadgets there is no telling what tomorrow will bring. There are some functional items, some fun items and some things that make you go wooow! The Hello Kitty USB Foot Warmers seem to be a mixture of all of the above. But are they chic? Much like the USB Cape/Blanket number we featured recently, the USB foot warmers just have to be plugged in to a USB port on your computer, PSP, etc. and they will generate heat from the port to your toesies.
