20 Creative, Artistic and Geeky Cake Designs
Even geeks, believe it or not, like to party, and this sweet selection of artistic confection showcases the many ways geeks can have their cake and eat it too - with or without an .exe file baked inside. No, these cakes are not a lie (if you don’t get the reference, don’t worry: you may still be a geek).
The only cakes pictured here I wouldn't be thrilled to get on my birthday are the ipod and iphone cakes. Lame. The rest, awesome. I think I have raised my expectations of May 27th. [ 20 Geeky Cake Designs ]

Google Maps Proposal
D'awwwwwwwww. Adorable. Michael Weiss-Malik, an employee of Google found a fun way to propose to his true love Leslie and it's pretty damn geeky. I mean it's no video game proposal but it's pretty damn dorky (and I love it). Sure... right now you're thinking he's a pretty clever guy. I just want you to know that I intend to show this man and his new fiance up. Google Mars proposal. I don't care how I go about achieving it but you gotta dream big, SON. Just know that I, Christie St. Martin came up with the Google Mars proposal first. [ Google Map Proposal ]

Twenty Bloggers URLesque wants to see in bikinis

So to my surprise, last night I saw something in my inbox that involved bikinis and bloggers, so clearly I didn't hesitate to click the link. Much to my horror, it wasn't exactly what I expected it to be (no I didn't think it was porn. google is very good at blocking that... unfortunately.) So... umm thanks, URLesque. I appreciate my golden bikini award but it's funny you failed to notice I was wearing one already there under that god awful onesie you managed to dig up from flickr past. In my defense, I was dressed like that for a prostate cancer research gala. I don't know if that justifies it, but it's a start.
There are ladies who I feel are most suited for such a *cough* honour such as Raymi who is often in glorious states of undress and has been in the blogging game as long as I have and is much more comfortable with *aheem* being mentioned in those various states of undress than me. So there's that. Then there is Sass, who is actually WEARING a gold bikini, the same AA bikini I am here. Also if we are going to talk about awesome geeky ladies, lets please mention Veronica Belmont (my lady crush cup runneth over). I should convince "Leroy Jenkins" to play aoc with me. hmm. Ah well, at least one other linux loving lady made the list.
It was also nice to see two Best Week Ever ladies mentioned. There is hope for us funny types after all. It's always so lovely to see how long the BWE site has come since my days there and how internationally recognized it is today. Michelle Collins has done a fantastic job there, am I right? Laaaaadddieees...
Now if you'll excuse me, I am going to continue to hide out indoors for the next week or so.[ Twenty Bloggers URLesque wants to see in bikinis ]
