Another Mentos shipment has arrived safely from China. Mentos Ambassador Stoll has done it again. The Mentos flavors themselves aren’t that unique. Two of the three flavors can be found in the U.S. (mint and fruit). The third flavor (Lime-mint) is a little more special. The thing that makes this shipment different, is first, the… Read more »

Play This Thing
Awesome online game site, Play This Thing puts up a game and a review every day. Some of my favorites: Good ole Desktop Tower Defense “The Most Sacrilegious Game Ever” Bible Fight
Amazon MP3
Today Amazon raised the stakes in the realm of online music sales with the beta release of Amazon MP3. I know there are a ton of places to buy online music out there with iTunes leading the pack. The thing that could make this one different though is the lack of DRM. Amazon’s store will… Read more »
Mentos ATM
There have been a lot of changes lately with my move to the desert. One of those changes included getting a new bank, and turned out very nicely. We chose our new bank for several of their account features. One of those features just happened to be custom ATM cards. Once I saw that option,… Read more »
Advanced Photo Resizing
This video has been making the rounds the past couple weeks. It is a demonstration of dynamic image resizing. Normally when resizing an image, you will get artifacts with making it either larger or smaller. This demo shows a method of making an image resizable by stretching the unimportant parts of an image and keeping… Read more »
iCache All-in-one Credit Card
I ran across this cool little gizmo on CNN today. Basically what it does it is combines all the cards you have in your wallet into one little device. It handles credit cards, debit bank cards, loyalty cards. It looks like it will work with anything that has a magnetic strip on it. You load… Read more »
Casual Gameplay Design Competition
I really like these little game developer competitions. They usually have some nice results that are not only fun to play, but outside the realm of your typical games. Jayisgames.com recently had a competition where entries were judged on repeat plays. They wanted games that kept you coming back for more. The winners have been… Read more »
12V Battery Hack
I ran across this helpful battery hack today. It just so happens that I needed one of these little button cell batteries to bring a travel alarm clock back to life. I think I’ll probably go the cheap route and break open a (cheaper) 12V battery instead of paying double that for just one of… Read more »
Mentos Can
Back again after a major life change… I got married on the 14th, and then followed that up with a honeymoon to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. And all you loyal readers know what a vacation to a foreign country means… new Mentos! There wasn’t too much to find in Puerto Vallarta. I looked around in the… Read more »
Soundwave: The Touch
Poor Soundwave… nobody needs a Transformer that changes into a cassette player. P.S. The Transformers movie was awesome!

Are you going somewhere and curious if you will have cell phone signal? Do you know a place where your signal is dead. Check out SignalMap and find out via a Google Maps mash-up whether there is signal or not. You can also add the signal you’re able to get to the map letting others… Read more »
Trevor, The Mentos Intern
How did I not see this earlier (thanks Rob & The 4th Way)?? Those brilliant marketing folks over at Mentos have a new website, and a new intern (named trevor) who will do whatever you tell him to do… within reason. He can’t do anything lewd or illegal. Visit the site: mentosintern.com, and you can… Read more »
Find Your Best Movie Reviewer
I think movie reviewers are hit or miss, and there isn’t really one out there that I follow religiously. I have somewhat unique taste in movies. Enter “Which Move Reviews Should I Believe?” Rate a handful of movies on this site, and a few movie reviewers will be recommended to you. My movie tastes line… Read more »
Mentos Alternative Fuel Experiment
We all know that Mentos mixed with soda does crazy things. Did you know that it could also fuel a car? According to this video, it can. Do you want to drive a Mentos-powered car? Well, you’re in luck. You can make your own Mentos + Soda + Car video at the Mentos Alternative Fuel… Read more »
Mentos Gyser Tubes Free with Mentos Soon
Today is a very Mentos’y day (I guess every day is a Mentos’y day for me though). First spotted on The Scattered Genius blog, then The Consumerist: Apparently Mentos may be putting geyser tubes into their multi-roll packages later this summer. Soon you’ll be able to spray Diet Coke everywhere at home. I guess you… Read more »
