Anything and Everything that is cool, hot, fresh and classic.
How can you tell when a meme is nearing the end of its popularity?
People start proposing through it.
On Valentine’s Day, Jon asked Loretta to marry him with a lolcat that was placed on “I Can Has Cheezburger?”, and thankfully, she said yes. (With a lolcat as well.)
Now that we’ve seen the lolproposal, is the loldivorce the next step in this meme’s evolution?
I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
Mimoco is holding a Mimobot Flickr Schticker Contest, and you could win a special Valentine’s Day Mimobot package by simply sticking print at home Mimobot stickers in creative places around town and then sending them a pic.
Mimoco is celebrating Valentine’s Day by releasing a “super limited edition” series of their Mimobots, done in collaboration with FriendsWithYou.
Mr. Phantom and Buddy Chub are the first in the series to arrive, and there are only going to be 411 of each made, so hurry if you want one.
The rest of the series (including Malfi, Smiling Malfi, Super Malfi, and Mr. TTT Rainbow) all arrive in March, so keep an eye out for these limited edition flash storage devices if FWY is your style.
Be nice to your nerd with a set of Chocolate Miis.
Available in either white or dark chocolate, the Paul Pape Designs Mii Chocolates are available as either boy/girl, boy/boy, or girl/girl, and come packaged in a Wii box that says “Wii belong together you and Mii” on the front.
Does a gamer’s Valentine’s Day get any better than that?

Mark Lowrie has a great idea for that homemade gift giving type person. He uses hollowed out books that he fills with interesting contents such as The Vice Control book, filled with vices; or the vintage pulp book filled with journals and writing supplies. Hollow out a copy of the Kama Sutra, fill it with appropriate supplies, and you’ve got yourself one creative and original V Day gift. Plus, the surprise of opening a gift to find a book but then opening the book to find a gift would definitely be the best part of giving something like this.

Gmail, the Google email service that has sat in Beta for over 3 years despite its heavy usage and development, opened its doors today to all comers. Previously, an invitation was required from a current Gmail user to get a new account (though with 50 invitations given out per user, they weren’t that hard to come by). Now, just head on over and sign up, no invitation required.
And while we’re on the topic of Google news, it seems that the spell checker over at the Google logo lab has broken, because their special Valentine’s Day logo reads more like Googe than Google. Some would argue that the stem is the L, but some people will argue anything.
Also, I just noticed that if you click on the Googe logo, it performs an instant search for the term “Valentine’s Day”. I’ve never noticed this feature before in any of the other custom logos, but it’s a neat little Easter Egg to check for in the future.
Edit: Apparently Google is well aware of the omission, responding on their blog with this:
Very sneaky Google, very sneaky indeed.

If you’re already starting to worry about Valentine’s Day and what you’re going to get that really special someone, check out LELO’s NEA Black Pearl Valentine. This special edition pleasure object, a collaboration between LELO and designer Jesper Kouthoofd, features an archetypal sweet heart tattoo that “hints at an age of innocence” and the word love “naughtily located on the tip of the pleasure point”. All NEAs feature a porcelain-like finish and deceptively powerful purr, are rechargeable, exceedingly quiet, and “designed to accommodate all those special places”. Each is also beautifully packaged in a very Apple like manner, making this a very classy gift to both give and receive.
