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!

Go play with their site

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.

Outvesting – Supporting Business Development

One of the problems that startups have is getting funds.

So a few people came up with the idea of “outvesting“, which they describe as:

“The act of committing money to a business while expecting to get nothing in return, other than the satisfaction of giving a leg up to Irish entrepreneurs.”

The idea is pretty simple – pledging €50 each towards startups. €50 isn’t much, but when you multiply it by 40, 50 or 100 it becomes a “nice chunk of cash”.

Deal A Day

Since everyone seems to be concerned about saving money and getting “deals” it’s inevitable that I end up looking at more “deal” sites …

One that has been around for several years is iBOOD (Internet’s Best Online Offer Daily).

Every day they have a different offer on a single product.

What kind of products do they offer?

They all seem to be electronics of some kind and vary from digital cameras to 40″ LCD tvs with huge discounts (most seem to be 50% off or more)

While I haven’t bought anything from them as yet, anyone who has was happy with the delivery times etc., so it seems to work well

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…
