Zoomdoggle: More fun than work!

Sorry I skipped out Friday, but Zoomdoggle & Co had to run on account of Buckyballs having it’s first ever holiday party.

Mega-thanks to everyone who made 2010 the year it was. Especially you, the Zoomdoggle readers who set it off, without whom none of this would be possible. Full photo-booth shenanigans (including real-beard Santa) after the jump.

Sure, I have kinda conflicting feelings about FHM Magazine (it’s a long story) but there’s no arguing the amazingness of this video from the German edition. Watch it head on and it’s all pie charts and graphs but tilt your screen back a few degrees and – boom – watch the hottie bump n’ grind. How fun is that?

Remember of Scotty Iseri of SGAOG? He’s kind of my hero. He’s kind of awesome. And he’s kind of back. Oh, and this time he’s got sponsors (nothing wrong with that BTW; Zendesk runs customer care for Buckyballs and, lets me ask countless IT questions even though I didn’t pay for that level of service. Now that’s good service!). Above is my favorite in the series so far – a little jingle about, well, little jingles – but you can check out the whole lot after the jump.

WHEN: I don’t know for sure… Soon though.
WHERE: Again, that information is not available at this time. Click here to join the NY chapter’s Facebook page for day of (or just before) announcements.
WHAT: The wildest party you’ve ever been to… meets bingo! There are of course rules: “No old people. No boring people. No office parties. No work suits. No customer service.” Don’t be intimidated though, there are also prizes. Big, bad-ass, prizes. More details after the jump. Thanks B for the tip-off.

Life Calendars is a series of a different calendars which highlights an aspect of life. This one is called ‘How was your day’. 365 dots for you to draw on to track how you’re feeling. Sometimes it’s fun to check in with yourself. I’m ordering and coloring in all of 2011 with happy faces.

LINK: Etsy.

WHEN: From now through Jan 6th
WHERE: Sacks 5th Avenue flagship NYC 5th ave store
WHAT: Just another reason New York City is the funnest place to be around the holidays. Watching it from across the street is good times, but taking it in from your desk is almost as good. If this doesn’t bring out the kid in you, it’s time for a c-section (of fun?).

Google: Always thinking. Use this well-designed kit to send a well-meaning and customized pack of how-to videos to your parents to aid in their ability to sort-out their own tech worries and woes. So far, 1800+ parents served. Will yours be among them? Or will your trip home be spent fixing glitches and giving tutorials on Mom and Dad’s machines?

The thought doesn’t always count… but if that’s all you’re thinking of getting someone this holiday season, why not spend $5 extra to get a kit (complete with multiple receipt and shipping emails that come a few days apart) to make it look like you tried to get them something, it just got lost in the mail? Now that’s thinking. And funner than trying to explain why you Scrooged them over when they hand you a gift and you’ve got nothing in your bad with their name on it. Yup.
