Butch Bakery – Manly Cupcakes

Someone sent me the link to Butch Bakery this morning and I simply had to give them a mention.

What is it?

They’re a bakery in New York

What makes them special?

Their product. Sure they’re just selling “cup cakes”, but they’ve managed to take a simple product and give it a new and interesting twist and that’s what caught my attention

The graphical style and other elements on the site all reenforce the concept they’re driving – making cupcakes more appealing to boys .. more macho basically

I love it!

Answering A Simple Question – When Will It Be Released On DVD (or BluRay)

videoeta logoIf, like me, you love film, then you will probably find VideoETA to be incredibly useful.

No. It is not a beautiful website, but boy is it functional.

VideoETA’s only purpose is to give you, the viewer, information on DVD and BluRay release dates.

While the dates it uses are US only it’s still incredibly useful.

With more and more titles being released at almost the same time on both sides of the Atlantic and a growing number of studios offering “region free” BluRay discs, this sort of service is useful.

Personally I’m an addict!

So, for example, if you loved Avatar and want to know when it’s going to be available to own, then VideoETA will be able to tell you that it is currently scheduled for a June release.

Their blog is also a pretty good source of film news, though it may not be on a par with some of the big movie news sites.

Bidding Can Be Fun

bidrivals-screenshot.png
The idea behind BidRivals isn’t that complicated.

They sell electronics, such as Sony Playstation 3, at a fraction of their normal retail price. How? By making it into an auction.

When the clock stops whoever has the bid wins.

Not that complicated really.

You can get more details on how the process works on their site.

While obviously winning isn’t that easy I’d view it as a good chance to get a high value item for a fraction of its retail price PLUS it’s saner option than a normal betting site…

Get Some Gift Inspiration

peoplelovepresentsThe people behind People Love Presents sent me a captivating email a few weeks ago and I have to admit I found the site itself to be captivating in its own right.

The idea behind it isn’t terribly original, but the presentation and execution is simple and stylish, which should make it a “winner” in many respects.

Basically the site editors trawl online shops for new, exciting and quirky goods and then recommend them to readers based on gender, age, price etc.,

One little detail impressed me – they clearly state whether an item is available for delivery to Ireland or not – that alone saves time!

MacHeist Combines Great Software With Philanthropy

macheist 3 software bundleAs a Mac user you get to hear about “cool software” for the Mac all the time. However not all software is as cool or as accessible as others.

What the guys at MacHeist have managed to do, however, is to combine software package deals with a philanthropy to make for a winning combination.

MacHeist run an offer a couple of times a year where you can get several hundred dollars worth of software for less than $50 (the latest bundle is $39).

What makes the deal even more interesting is that 25% of all sales revenue goes to a number of charities

The latest “heist” has so far sold over 43 thousand bundles and raised over $403 thousand for charity!

If you’re a Mac user or know someone who is then this makes for a wonderful gift
