Need a break from all the Apple stuff? Before there were iPhone addicts, the original handheld attention-robber was the BlackBerry. Nicknamed CrackBerry for its similarity to the dangerous drug, those of us with the affliction were affected almost as badly as addicts to its namesake (though we kept our looks).

Wow, I cannot believe that I missed an Apple product unveiling during the keynote speech at Macworld yesterday. I guess between the new iPhoto and iMovie announcements and the big 17-inch MacBook Pro reveal, I got so carried away that I didn't pay attention to this revolutionary new product — the MacBook wheel. So simple, so powerful, so user-friendly — Who knew that everything could be only a few hundred clicks away!

As you already know, my family is a hoot when it comes to embracing technology. My mom recently learned how to make smiley faces in IM, and my dad, well, my dad is still trying to wrap his head around tech terminology. Gotta love the holidays, when anything and everything is free game.

I don't know if the oldie but a goodie Geek Song makes me feel better or worse about being a geek. I do love my Atari, but I don't have that whole allergy thing down. However, I do enjoy the midi-like song and the moderately catchy beat, even if I'm not exactly the same kind of geek as these guys.

The holidays always bring joy, good times with friends and family, and what else but festive cakes gone terribly wrong? When TeamSugar user kimberlyschmitt posted this hilarious site to Website of the Day group, I couldn't help but share it with the rest of you. Do you ever come across holiday cakes with spelling mistakes, bad grammar, or disastrous decorations?

I swear, watching videos of kids opening gaming consoles that they've been wishing and hoping for all year long is priceless — case in point, remember our OMG! I Got an iPhone! vid? And the one below of four adorable kids going nutso over their new Wii is no exception.

Favorite movie, meet another one of my favorite movies: In this re-imagining of the famous "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. . ."

Giving gag gifts has become somewhat of a tradition in my family, ever since my aunt gave me a box of strawberry Jello on Christmas morning back in '88. So after 20 years of Richard Simmons workout tapes, boxes of Kleenex, and Tucks Medicated pads, I wanted to switch it up a bit.
After much searching, I think I found the perfect gift: The Hacked and Frayed Flash Drive.

Chanteuse Amanda Palmer, formerly of the Dresden Dolls, is a girl after my own heart. At a recent performance, she busted out with a sultry tune about modern courtship — "I Google You."
Amazing how seductive geeky can be, eh?

Emoticarolers is the kind of thing that should be too silly for me to be into, and yet, here I am, powerless to their cute yellow faces and midi voices (or maybe I was just swayed by the fact that the parody lyrics the site offered me for "Deck the Halls" were "Deck the Halls With Flat Screen TVs").
You pick four carolers and then a classic holiday song (original or parody lyrics), and then you can send around your custom "card."
It's way less annoying than strangers showing up to your door singing while you awkwardly stand there bobbing your head.
