Where Will You Be Watching The Super Bowl?

GeekSugar — Sat, 03 Feb 2007 10:26:30 -0800

Just buying chips and dip and a 12-pack of beer doesn't cut it for Super Bowl parties any more, according to USA Today. Apparently, if you want your friends to pick your place for the big game, you may have to pony up for a flat-screen TV, digital tuner and surround-sound speakers so they can spectate with quality.

To be honest, my fella and I always watch the big game at my best friend's because she and her boyfriend have the coolest TV ever AND they make the best bean dip you can imagine, but I can't see myself ever running out to get a new set just to draw the crowd to my place.

Partysugar Loves Computers - What About You?

GeekSugar — Fri, 02 Feb 2007 10:08:02 -0800

First there was uber geek Jeremy Mehrle, who has a total of 74 Macs in his house, then there was Partysugar, the trendiest party girl I know, who recently admitted that when she's not making amazing Superbowl party invitations or tasting the best Cuvée de Réserve and Blanc de Blancs a girl can find, she's a total mac geek!

"This is an image I shot of my computer room last night," admits Partysugar. "In my house there are twice as many computers as there are people...kind of crazy. We have four laptops (one is not pictured but the other three are!) and one older emac and two older imacs (in blue and green). We have and always will be Mac users. It's a little too messy for my liking and I've been begging my mom to redo the decor (it's wallpapered in sports images leftover from when my older brother inhabited it years ago before the computers took over). If this room isn't geeky I don't know what is..." Oh Partysugar, you've outed yourself and I for one love you even more now! Want to submit photos of your favorite gadgets? Just read more

I want to know what's in your purse, on your desktop and in your pockets. Send me pictures of your favorite gadgets by adding them to our My Favorite Gadgets! group. I'll feature the greatest (and most inventive) pictures here on geeksugar.

Sony 46" BRAVIA LCD
Sony's campaign for the Bravia claims it's the world's first television for men and women, and I think they're right on the mark. It offers 1080p HD picture, Dolby Digital surround sound and a small but powerful speaker design. It's perfect for all those Superbowl and Sex and the City parties you've always wanted to host and stylish enough that you won't ever look at it and think "do I really need this?" All in all it's worth the investment. Get the Bravia at Sony Style for $3,500.

Pioneer Elite 60" PureVision Plasma Television
