So you’ve got a great idea for an iPhone app (who doesn’t?) but you can’t design it, let alone develop it. So what do you do? Put pen to paper and send off your idea only to get something totally different because your S’s look like 5’s and you can’t draw a perfect circle? No. Well, before now yes, but now you’ve got this handy tool… its a stencil for designing iPhone apps, complete with every button and icon available for the iPhone UI.
UP was good, in that whole animated-for-kids-but-ill-still-watch-it-cause-some-girl-i-like-wants-me-to-go-with-her kinda way. I would have preferred to see UP IRL and it looks like I just might be able to soon enough!
Most vehicles get somewhere between 20 and 50 miles per gallon. Truck Norris, however, has gone 168,000 miles off the first tank with no signs of filling up any time soon. Ok that was dumb… but Truck Norris is badass!

Today, we are pitting two literal giants of the food industry against one another: The Jolly Green Giant and The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. As we all know, size matters.

| Mascot for: General Mills vegetables | Mascot for: Imaginary Stay Puft brand marshmallows |

We’ve all received some sort of relationship advice, and a lot of it comes on the eve of a first date or meeting for the first time… It’s common to hear things like: be yourself, be polite and conversational, don’t tell her about your Star Wars collection. Well finally, researchers have found out what really gets the girl.
When I see something like this, I get pissed. Not because of what it is or what it represents, but because I didn’t get to play with stuff this cool when I was young. It’s a Pez dispenser that’s also a toy gun. It shoots delicious, delicious Pez. How freaking cool is that?
Unfortunately, these were taken off the market because, apparently, having kids stick a gun in their mouths and pull the trigger is a no-no.
