(semi)Viral marketing at its best

Posted in Uncategorized on August 31st, 2007 | No Comments »

I’m a huge fan of all things original. I tend to judge people based on how much they innovate, or just strive to stay true to themselves. Obviously, I also believe in studying other people and learning as much as you can, hence why we write on Pricklepear about the things we find […]

Yoda’s links - August

Posted in Uncategorized on August 30th, 2007 | No Comments »

So maybe Pichote beat me to the punch. Doesn’t mean that my links are totally better than his. Was it just me, or was his post completely skewed towards design and geeky stuff? So here are the real links, sorry you had to suffer through those other ones.

ModBlog is a body […]

Pichote’s links - August

Posted in Uncategorized on August 29th, 2007 | 1 Comment »

In our efforts to keep this site filled with awesome and interesting new content, we are implementing a couple regular features. One will of course be site news, falling under the “Pricklepear News” category, and today we are introducing a new one: a collection of links that we found during this month that are […]

Cause life’s not just all fun and games

Posted in Uncategorized on August 28th, 2007 | No Comments »

Oh the life of a celebrity…can’t even check out (and fail) and not get heckled for it. Poor Owen Wilson. At least now his terribly shaped nose is the least of his problems.
After reading that little tidbit, all I could imagine was this:

Yea yea, maybe a little tasteless, but you know you did […]

MyCuppa makes for perfect coffee

Posted in Uncategorized on August 27th, 2007 | No Comments »

It’s not very often that you encounter a product that completely changes the way you approach something as every-day as coffee. While the coffee purveyors of the world have been introducing model after model of shiny miniature espresso machines and single serving “coffee pods,” none have achieved the instant impact and popularity of the […]

Belkin - routers get cool

Posted in Uncategorized on August 22nd, 2007 | No Comments »

So this isn’t a real post since I haven’t actually gotten to play with the Belkin N1 Vision myself, but fellow blogger Derek Punsalan has a published a great review (source of the photo after the jump).

While he gripes that the physical navigation buttons sometimes require a hard push, he assuages any fears that I […]

love my luckys

Maybe it’s because I love riding my bicycle (at least, that’s all I can figure) but for some reason, the ass of my jeans always fail on me. Seriously. One time, I threw my leg over my bike, only to hear a loud rip. I looked down, and sure enough, my jeans […]

Way to ruin my sunday morning

Posted in Uncategorized on August 13th, 2007 | No Comments »

I am a creature of habit– should I enjoy something, I am 75% likely to repeat/repurchase/revisit. For the past two years, the first thing I do on lazy sunday mornings is snap up my apple lappie and visit postsecret.

Quickly (for those of you who live under a rock) postsecret is the brainchild of a […]

REload : Customized bag nirvana!

Posted in Uncategorized on August 7th, 2007 | No Comments »

My REload deluxe messenger bag is probably the most versatile thing that I own. While there are few things that this bag can’t swallow, it can also be compressed and simplified to hold the bare essentials. From a week’s worth of groceries to bike wheels, bike frames, small animals, several weeks of […]

Crumpler: stylish & functional gear protection

Posted in Uncategorized on August 6th, 2007 | 1 Comment »

My first messenger bag ever back in 9th grade at Sherwood high school was a Crumpler “fux delux”, and despite it lacking some key features (see post REload Mess Bags for insight into nirvana in a cordura sack) it left me with many fond memories and a good taste in my mouth.
Earlier this year, […]
