I literally just locked my bike up next to another bike with this awesome sticker on it: a pretzel & crossbones. Apparently it represents the South Philly Bike Gang & I’m not even going to lie, I kind of want in! But really i just want one of these sweet stickers.

Nokia wanted to promote their phones navigation technology by integrating the idea of social networking and live sharing. What they came up with was a giant sign post in the middle of London that turned 360 degrees.

Ok so Lady GaGa awed us with her jaw dropping, head scratching outfits. Even Rhianna went a little outrageous too. But one woman had the dress to beat all crazy dresses. Even though we didn’t see much of Miss Imogen Heap on the red carpet, she actually won a Grammy earlier today for Best Engineered Album.

Well, the iPad has been unveiled. From what I read and saw, it’s basically a big iPhone. There are some disappointments and some cool things though.
(Don’t wanna read all this? It’s pretty, costs 499-829 depending on wifi or 3G, it’s still At&t, but you can sign up via the iPad and cancel any time (yeah okay…), no camera, no flash.)
