Geek Chic: The Sims 2 H&M® Fashion Stuff
If you haven't noticed the ads for the new The Sims 2 H&M® Fashion Stuff across the Sugar Network recently I suggest you take a gander. The game allows you to dress up your Sims in H&M® clothing collections for men and women with The Sims 2 H&M® Fashion Stuff. Your Sims characters can choose from FabSugar-approved H&M® fashions, then play with retail-themed items like mannequins, clothing racks, cash registers and even walk the runway.H&M's Virtual Dressing Room: No Clothing Removal Necessary
Aside from the fact that I've never been closer to mental breakdowns than when I've been in an H&M dressing room, I'm jazzed on their virtual dressing room. You can customize your model to look like you, down to height, weight, and measurements, and then "try on" clothes from H&M. (Note: They don't appear to be clothing items from this season's collection, but don't worry, I will totally do reconnaissance in the name of geek after work).
Purchase H&M Clothes With Your Cell Phone
The popular clothing retailer H&M will be offering a high-tech new service where consumers can make purchases with their cell phones. If you happen to be flipping through a mag and see a hot dress by H&M or you want those jeans from a billboard ad, just take a pic of the black and white Semacode bar on the ad with your phone. The code will allow access to H&M's product catalog where products can be purchased and charged to the user's account.

Taxes, Ugh. . .Taxes Online, Not So Ugh
Yep, it may be that beautiful time of year when the sun finally starts peeking its head out and the days get longer (sorry, East Coasters), but it's also that really crappy time of year when your heart starts to beat because you haven't filed your taxes yet.
