Sweet Technology Must-Haves!

Hey Candy Geeks,

Back in July, I blogged about stuff that we wish existed here at Cybercandy Towers, including the infamous Diet Coke with bacon. Like many of you, I probably spend much longer than is actually healthy, staring at a computer screen, or my iPod, or my blackberry – all the things that make life worth living in this modern digital age.

I began to wish that my HP laptop wasn’t the basic colour of most of the other laptops in the universe, or that my mouse and mouse mat weren’t the oh-so-predictable-yet-perfectly-colour-matched sleek black. Dammit, I want something different!  Don’t get me wrong, I probably have the best job in the world and count myself lucky three times over before I even roll out of bed in the morning, but however awesome my  job is, I could probably make it even more awesome (awesomer?) by replacing the standard drab technology in my life with something that will colour my world every single day. Wait, there’s more!

Get your Geek On!

Hey Candy Geeks,

On May 25th it’s Geek Pride Day and we’re calling out geeks from every corner of the universe to help us celebrate! Heralded by geeks and nerds all over the world, Geek Pride Day is a creative celebration of geek culture, obsession and general geeky coolness. To make the day even sweeter, it’s now all about the candy too!

What is Geek Pride Day?
Let your geek flag fly because there really is a day named in your honour my geeky friends! It’s been celebrated every year on May 25th since 2006 (although the very first Geek Pride Festival was held in Albany and started by New Yorker Tim McEachern in 1998), to commemorate the première of the first Star Wars movie in 1977.

Coincidently, May 25th is also the date of ‘Towel Day’, which celebrates Douglas Adams and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy trilogy, and the ‘Glorious 25th of May’ for superfans of Terry Pratchett.

Wait, there’s more!
