Spice Up Your V-Day Dinner With a Holographic Candle Kit

After watching the 3D Monsters vs. Aliens trailer with my man during the Super Bowl — yes we had our glasses on, just like Katie Sugar — I realized that high-tech additions (like 3D glasses) can easily be used to spice up a date. As I try to collect some fun Valentine's Day ideas, I knew I had to take a trip on over to Think Geek and see what they would have in store for me. That's when I Read more

iPhone Camera Telescope - Look Closer

OK, OK, I know that the iPhone has its drawbacks. No video capabilities, no camera flash, and certainly no camera zoom. I knew these downsides and decided to dive into the Apple pool anyway. So is this Camera Telescope for your first-gen iPhone a savior, or is it just putting a Band-Aid on a bigger problem? Adding a 6X zoom to your iPhone would be a nice addition, but you'd run the risk of Read more

iPhone Slide to Unlock T-shirt From ThinkGeek Invites Strangers to Touch Your Breasts

I just had one of those classic brain-fart moments when you see something and think it's clever and harmless, and then you actually, you know, think about it, and go, "Oh, come on." And with that I bring you this new Slide to Unlock T-shirt from ThinkGeek. At first I was like, cool! iPhone T-shirt! And then my brain worked and I realized that it was an invitation your momma wouldn't approve of. Read more

Laser Tag Shocking Tanks Shock Sugar Inc Staff

Here at Sugar HQ we're always looking for novel ways to entertain ourselves, especially the men, who decided it would be "fun" to bring a pair of Laser Tag Shocking Tanks into the office. I don't even think I can find the words to describe this so-called game, which is totally abusive and kinda fun all at the same time. . . maybe I should have paid closer attention to the "product emits an Read more

Battlestar Galactica Posters Officially Approved by Laura Roslin

My BSG obsession has hit an all time high now that I've not only re-watched the third season, but have also seen the ten webisodes (did you know about these!?) and checked out the movie Battlestar Galactica: Razor (spoilers if you haven't seen all three seasons!). So it would be fitting that I scoop up one of these BSG Propaganda Posters ($30) just in time for the season four premiere this Read more

8-Bit Dynamic Life T-Shirt's Hearts Light Up When Lovers Are Near

There is no way I could look myself in the mirror if I put on one of these T-shirts. But for die-hard geek love, is there any better way to say I love you? When you buy a pair of these shirts, each one of the hearts lights up when two dorky lovebirds are in close proximity to one another. And when you part, the hearts darken, and. . .You "die." Just like in your favorite video games — get it? Read more

Geeky Panties: Love Them or Leave Them?

Okay, honestly, these panties from Think Geek that say "I'm blogging this" did get a huge grin from me. That's not to say I'd wear them — geeky underwear kind of gives me the willies. However, I almost need those blogging underwear, at the very least to give as a gag gift to a fellow blogger. And it's not like anyone (ahem) would see them, so what's the harm in sporting them? I can't decide! Read more

Hidden Camera Detector Finds Wireless Cameras

The Hidden Camera Detector from ThinkGeek appeals to the worst part of me — the paranoid, it could-happen-to-me part. I have seen way too many Dateline NBC exposing those with hidden cameras in ladies' bathrooms, workplaces, and even inside your own apartment! See, there it is! In many ways I think this tool could be useful — at the very least, it would put you at ease. Not to mention, it's Read more
