It doesn't have to be trying times (I can't bring myself to say the R word one more time) for anyone to be able to appreciate inexpensive food. That's why I know you'll enjoy U Eat Cheap.
Type in your zip code, the search radius, and what kind of food you're looking for, and U Eat Cheap will populate a Google Map with restaurants near you that have entrees for $10 or less. Now if they could do the same for clothing sales near you . . .

So sexy, yeah it hurts. Vaja, the maker of supple leather goods fabulously fit for chic geeks, has some new cases for the BlackBerry Bold.
This model, which cradles the Bold and flips open to reveal the front side, is particularly mouthwatering.
However, the price starts at $75 (lord knows where it stops) and that handcrafting process takes 45 days!
Yeah, it does hurt.
Now that Blu-ray is the only format I can stand to buy new movies of these days, I wait eagerly for Blu-ray releases rather than just the DVD release. So it's with relief to say that Twilight will be released on Blu-ray at the same time as the DVD (March 21).
No huge shock there, but the interesting thing is that the Blu-ray disc will be exclusively available at Target and Best Buy until May 5 (check out that link for the DVD and B-ray extras too).
For only two retailers to have the exclusive for almost a month and a half is pretty uncommon, and just a little bit worrisome — will it keep the price of the already expensive Blu-ray up? In any case, I'm looking forward to seeing Twilight on the superlative format — can you imagine how silly the pale makeup is going to look?!
A majority of you loved the Princess Leia Earmuffs, so why stop there?! For Space Invaders junkies, you can keep your head nice and warm with this colorful Space Invaders Beanie. Knitted from combined cotton and wool yarn, you are guaranteed a warm and geek chic experience when wearing this hat.
Sizes include small, medium, and large, and hats are priced at $15.
Take the popular HTC Touch and the Touch Diamond, add in lots of GPS and geotagging functionality (dubbed "HTC Footprints"), and you've got yourself HTC's latest handset, the Touch Cruise.
What's really grabbing my attention about this phone is its beautiful 2.8-inch LCD touchscreen with QVGA resolution, its 3.2-megapixel camera, and its fun NaviPanel mode. With NaviPanel users can access a ton of travel tools — like navigation shortcuts — from a simple interface.
This model will be hitting store shelves in a few months. No word on pricing just yet.
The first time I popped open my copy of Skate 2, I knew I was in for a different kind of skating game. Not only are you able to get a crash course in boarding trickery at the local skate park, but you can also roam free around the city of New San Vanelona — jumping curbs, popping ollies, accepting challenges and running from the police Burnout Paradise style. I later found that Skate 2 kept me entertained, but at times it would make me oh-so-frustrated.
Skate 2 starts with you getting released from prison. Your friend Al picks you up and immediately takes you to Slappy's skate park to reclaim your place at the top of the skateboarding food chain. If you played the first installment of Skate (I didn't), you'll find that your city has been taken over and "rebuilt" by a mega-corporation and all your old favorite skating spots have been deemed useless. Plus, the police take skateboarding seriously and if you're caught skating on public property, you might get pinched if you aren't quick.
There are many things I liked about Skate 2, and some things that had me cursing the skating gods. To see what I mean, read more
I'm a big advocate of the video site Hulu, which streams movies and TV shows for free (they are commercial-supported). But there's still a huge list of shows, like The Hills, that aren't available on Hulu. The website Sling — brought to you by the masterminds of the SlingPlayer — is adding Viacom Shows (like The Hills) to its full streaming lineup. Viacom shows that were exclusively on Hulu like The Daily Show and The Colbert Report will also be available on Sling too. I know I know, The Hills is available online via MTV, but the Sling video player is so much prettier.
