The big day is coming for all you apple lovers out there. I just received an email that you can pre-order your iPad here and get free shipping on the iPad from the Apple Online Store OR reserve your iPad here and pick it up at your favorite Apple Retail Store. I am interested to go to the Apple store here in San Francisco and check out the iPad.
Just when I almost got Lady Gaga’s Poker face out of my head I open my email box this AM to this Press Release from MTV and Harmonix! Well crap I thought now I will never get Poker Face out of my head! Of course I am the Rockband junkie for cutegeek and will have to get this plus I love that they will have Eric Cartman’s version from South Park! Classic! Check out the Full Press Release here! The songs will be “Bad Romance,” “Just Dance,” “Monster” and “Poker Face.”
Cambridge, Mass. – March 9, 2009 – Harmonix and MTV Games today announced that a four pack of songs from pop sensation Lady Gaga, as well as a special Lady Gaga cover byCOMEDY CENTRAL’s South Park’s own Eric Cartman will be added next week to the Rock Band Music Store of downloadable content for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Wii™.
I received an email about trying out the www.shapeways.com website. I didn’t know what to expect as I had never heard Shapeways before. With Shapeways you can upload a 3D image you created, download their software, create it and within 10-14 business days you will receive your printed 3D product. They also have models that you can purchase as well if you don’t have a 3D image. Eventually I created a 3D cutegeek rubber stamp and an stylist with my initials (the minimum purchase is $25.00). I have yet to receive my products as I just created them but I am anxious to get them in the mail! And the best part…wait for it…free shipping!
I have been receiving continuous updates and looking forward to giving you all part deux of what I should receive. Stay tuned cutegeekers!
While I was at Macworld I had a chance to check out the Bone Collection’s products and the one the that stood out the to me was the USB Flash Drives. They had many shapes/ forms made from silicon material and they sent me samples for review of the Panda Bear, Mini iPhone (yes I had a Zoolander moments with it), Dinosaur (when I was a kid I was a huge nerd about Dinosaurs), and an elephant.
In my creative humor we made a video of the flash drives; see the youtube here. One has to wonder what is going on in my head half the time…
What is so cool about these flash drives you may ask? Well first off the material is fool proof; as far as I know and tested the silicon material makes it durable. Each flash drive came with 2GB of memory and also the silicon cases are removable (just in case you want to be serious). Below are the product specs and I think for any Macbook users (or an other portable PC) this is a cute accessory.
+ Support USB 2.0 and compatible with USB1.1
+ Windows: 98/98SE, Me/2000/XP, VISTA
+ Mac: OS 9.0/ 10.0 or later
+ Linux: kernel 2.4 or later
+ No external power needed
+ LED indication for data access
+ The cover will never lose
+ Anti-dustproof
+ Washable silicone (not including flash)
+ Change the coat for flash
+ Life time warranty

Bone Collections sent me their Phone Leather 3GS Case for the iPhone recently. Have you ever been the last person on the planet to adapt to a gadget (which is rare for me)?! Admittedly I do not have an iPhone as I prefer to click actual buttons…crazy I know but I have shaky hands and it would take my friends days to decode my texts using an iPhone. Don’t get me wrong, I think the iPhone is an AMAZING product and endorse it to everyone plus the applications are phenomenal.
Fortunately I knew someone who owned one; my great pal Mel. She invited me over to make calzones with her (yes this cutegeek can also cook); I realized this is the perfect time to test this iPhone Leather 3GS case out. She currently owns a hard case which after she took it off realized it was scratching her brand new iPhone. I opened up the box for the Phone Leather 3GS case and since it’s a simple silicon case we slipped it on in no time. (more…)

I went to the Plastiki press event in Sausalito last Friday. I was truly intrigued by their initiative to sail a boat made with recycled plastic bottles and how they would power their technology so we could track them on their journey to Sydney using HP products. The room was jam packed with media internationally plus local San Francisco press. Mayor Gavin Newsom walked on stage and introduced the crew lead by David de Rothschild’s vision. (more…)

I love event planning! As part of my small business and social commitee duties for my building I plan meetings and events. I wanted a website that I could create an easy URL that folks could remember off the flyers in my elevators for our building social events (not some random numbers/ letters that no one could ever recall). I found this website recently called www.eventbrite.com. Unlike evite on this website you get a URL that is personalized, sell tickets for your event (if you want), and upload all the important event information/pictures for your guest. It’s pretty simple to use as you just put in all the important information for your event and what type of URL address you want. As a user you also can create a color scheme, post to various social medias, create headers and footers, and truly personalize it to your event. Below is a Mock up event I created for you all to see how easy and simple it is to use plus the URL to check out my fake event :-) http://cutegeek.eventbrite.com/
It’s the best way to have a short time URL for your event and/ or sell tickets to your events. So everyone check out my simple mock up and let me know what you think!
