GeekSugar — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 09:05:44 -0700

Yummy! The codenames for Google's smartphone OS, Android, continue to get more delicious: The first iteration is "Cupcake" (the favorite dessert of many a young woman) and the next codename is also tasty-sounding - or is it ridiculous?

And does the person that adopted this naming convention have the craziest sweet tooth in the world, or what?

See if you can pick out the next few announced codenames for the Android OS!

Whole Foods Gets an iPhone App and I Get Inspired

GeekSugar — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 01:45:57 -0700

I already thought Whole Foods was pretty cool, but it has just gotten a whole (get it? tee hee) lot cooler with its latest free Market Recipes iPhone app. What can this app do for you? Well it not only caters to those with special dietary needs like low fat, vegetarian, or gluten free, but it will also whip up some recipe suggestions when you enter what ingredients you have on hand. And say you're really lost for dinner ideas, you can check out their yummy directory of favorite recipes. Want to find the nearest Whole Foods? It can tell you that too, with its online store locator.

Website of the Day: Lunch

GeekSugar — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 14:02:52 -0700

Why use a new review website? Because this one is for everything, not just restaurants and local businesses, or just food at the grocery store. Despite its foodie name, Lunch is the new review destination for peoples' opinions on just about everything, or as they say, "a Wikipedia for opinions."

Sure, I know the crude adage about opinions, but I also see this as being valuable for when you just want to hear about what people think of a certain subject you're perplexed by.

Tribute to Apple? Pixelated Apple Cutting Board

GeekSugar — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 13:32:55 -0800

Even in the kitchen, I tend to relate actual apples to you know, the Apple. I can't resist it (and neither could Gossip Girl, apparently).

So is this Pixelated Cutting Board from Chiasso, $28, a clever play on the company Apple, considering its namesake fruit is digitally rendered on the board?

Maybe. And maybe I'm just way too into my geek life to see anything else. What do you think?

Website of the Day: U Eat Cheap

GeekSugar — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 11:00:03 -0800

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 . . .

Website of the Day: Cook Eat Share

GeekSugar — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 14:30:35 -0800

These days, a social network has to be pretty useful for me to want to join, considering my myriad memberships. One that makes the cut is Cook Eat Share, which is an awesome website and network for recipes and your experiences with them.

Although there are other sites to share recipes, I love that you can encourage your family to join, so you can get Great Aunt Carol's famous pie crust recipe anytime. The other great feature of Cook Eat Share is the group section; join or make a group based on an event, region, or type of food!
