Pink Blog

Haha, Americans, sucks to be you! I mean…us! As evidence of how Americentric this blog is, I completely missed that Europe and Australia have had an honest to goodness pink PS2, an actual Sony product, since 2007. Apparently it came bundled with two controllers and a memory card…all pink. The cables are pink, everything is [...]

February 25, 2009 is Pink Shirt Day in Canada. It originated with two teenage boys who saw a young kid being bullied in school. The boys went to the store and got 50 pink tank tops, distributed them to fellow students, and wore them in solidarity with the kid who was being bullied, who had [...]

This picture is a bad example, but I saw a pink wheelchair similar to it at school the other day! It was a Quickie GTX wheelchair being used by an adult woman. I was surprised to see that wheelchairs come in all kinds of cool colors now. This isn’t something you can really just go [...]

I fell off my chair just now. PinkBlog got a goddamn HAT TIP! Super thousands of happy rosy pink thanks to WebUrbanist for their geeky game systems article that included a picture from PinkBlog and the cite linking here!

Now is a great time to buy this cotton candy maker – or fairy floss maker, since you’re buying it from the UK! I say great time because, well, the pound is not doing so well right now, and what used to cost $60 now costs $40. Of course I’m not sure that you’re going [...]

For those of you who don’t – ahem – eat ice cream out of the Ben and Jerry’s pint with a spoon, there is the Cuisipro Scoop and Stack. I don’t keep ice cream in the house myself, so it’s been a long time since I’ve used an ice cream scoop, and this is apparently [...]

Can somebody please tell me why you need a lamp to illuminate your pens? Or, for that matter, why you need a speaker if you’re plugging into a computer? Does anybody sell computers without built-in speakers anymore? Or is this speaker somehow delivering fabulous sound out of a tiny plastic package? Many are the mysteries [...]

I’m just posting this for the sheer hilarity of using football on a pink Walkman. Obviously it’s a simulated screen image, it’s drag and drop from another one, but it comes out funny. Oh, uh, it’s by Sony, if you want it – the NW-A910 – and apparently it’s a TV set.
