The name of the site is pretty much a giveaway, but don't assume you know anything about TV in Japan until you go to this site — unless you know it to be wacky, wild, and amazing. Commercials and TV show clips from the past and present are posted, and each one is absolutely fascinating — my favorites include an old Sony commercial pushing the "sound of CD," anything tagged "Kawaii," and Cats in Bowls and Clothes. That's exactly what it sounds like.

Hey geeks, do you ever spot something like those vintage typewriters I randomly came across, and want to be able to show everyone? The Vintage Geek Group is at your service, and we're eagerly waiting for you to submit some cool old ad or gadget. Our vintage-geek superstar tdamj has submitted some amazing vintage ads — this hilarious one for an old Atari game and this Japanese masterpiece for Zelda.
So when you find cool vintage stuff like this ad for Penril Modems from lord knows when (well, 'when' was apparently a time of sort-of innocence — they had to minimize the word 'sexy'! Tee hee!), join the Vintage Geek Group and submit it! I know one of you has an awesome screen grab of Zach Morris's brick-phone and are just dying to share it.

I wish there was an ounce of me that thought Croc shoes were cool. I never quite succumbed to the Croc shoes mania that ensued a few years ago, but I did get a pair, just to fit in with those (my entire family) that had them. The people that do look adorable wearing Crocs are little kids, who would also look super-cute sporting one of these Croc cell-phone cases. SlashGear notes that these cases are set to be released in Europe on May 1. Colors will include black, silver, red, grape, fuchsia, celery, cotton candy, and turquoise and will cost around $15 each. 
Ok Safari lovers, I've got a cool download for you! Want to manage your Netflix queue from your browser? 
Download iNeedFlix, which sits on your desktop and allows you to get up in there and delete movies or move them to the top (unlike the widget that allows you to just SEE what's coming).
I love shortcuts just as much as I love Netflix, and if this thing could just add a browsing capability, I might start really loving Safari!

In a totally awesome news moment, Konarka Tech, a company that already makes its own light-into-energy-anywhere Power Plastic, successfully demonstrated the ability to print usable solar cells from an inkjet printer! In a report released yesterday, it explains that they used a highly sophisticated inkjet to manufacture the cells — proving that you don't have to be in a clean room environment to produce green energy.
What does this mean for us? Since we're all becoming aware of what our eco footprint is these days, as well as being introduced to more eco-friendly gadgets, it's inevitable that we might be able to take solar power into our own hands. To learn how just read more

Apple stores are a great place to meet men. Last night
PartySugar and I ventured out to San Francisco's main Apple store to test their theory. And let me tell you ladies, the place was swarming with men! We instantly noticed the insane guy to girl ratio, as well as the smorgasboard of "international" men. Brits, Germans, Japanese, Brazilian, French, Polish, it was raining men from all over the world. We certainly had our fair share of brow-raising events, including getting followed out of the store!
