Busted! Calling Out Photoshop on the Streets

GeekSugar — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 02:00:37 -0800

What should we do as a society to combat unrealistic images of celebrities due to the widespread use of Photoshop? Rant and rave on a blog? Publicly shame them on sites like Photoshop Disasters?

Or, you could take it back to the streets, as was done on an ad of celebs in a train station in Berlin; the geeky street artist affixed a Photoshop menu and commands onto the smooth faces of Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears.

Public comment plus geekiness? I'm all for it.

Are You a Fan of Sony's Rolly?

GeekSugar — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 16:30:48 -0800

Sony decided to rock out at CES this year with their entertaining Rolly display. These egg-shaped digital robotic music players were out in full force, flashing their lights, and flapping their wings to the beat of Christina Aguilera's "Ain't No Other Man." Each egg "dances" to the beat of the sounds coming out of the side speakers, as songs can be downloaded from computers or played via bluetooth. The Rolly includes 1GB of memory and still has yet to hit store shelves in the US. I can't say I personally need or want one, but you can't help but be mesmerized by their moves. Have a peek at the video below, and let me know what you think!

Mo Rocca Asks: What's Your Secret iPod Jam?

Let me start by saying that Mo Rocca is one of my favorite geek chic characters. In fact, I think he was one of the first mainstream TV personalities to make the look appealing and unassuming and keep his indie cred. So, when a reader named Tom sent me the link to this cute video of Rocca asking people their secret iPod jams he made my day.

I have to admit, one of my favorite things about MP3 players, aside from being the portable, amazing tools that they are, is the fact that I can bust out with a little Christina Aguilera, James Taylor or heck even Phil Collins if I want to and no one will be the wiser. What's your guilty pleasure song that you only dare enjoy through headphones?
