4-Bit Wedding Invite Makes Me Want to Pop the Question

GeekSugar — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 11:10:57 -0800

We may be smack dab in the middle of holiday season here on the Sugar Network, but I can't help but share with you this crazy-fun find to whet your palate for next year's wedding season. We already have enough geeky wedding ammo to fuel an entire ceremony, so this 4-Bit wedding invite is the icing on the cake (pun intended).

Complete with binary code speech bubbles, the vintage feel of this wedding invitation I spotted on BuzzFeed has me longing for my arcade days. Of course, if you do rock the old-school invite to your wedding (or DIY it for any occasion), just be sure to have some retro gaming action on hand to complete the feel. Party on!

The Ultimate TV Search Engine Opens Its Doors to the Public

Here's a word you're going to be hearing a lot of - Clicker! I know I often bombard you with the names of sites that stream TV shows and movies online, but now you can throw all of that knowledge out the window because a new streaming site called Clicker aggregates practically all of the shows across the web into one location.

According to TechCrunch, Clicker also pulls in Amazon Video on Demand and Netflix's Watch Instantly content (which you still have to pay for!). The site already has 400,000 full-length TV episodes (and growing), and its easy to use search feature toolbar is another reason to check it out.

Vintage Video Maker App Does Exactly What It Implies

All things old are new again as vintage gadgets and tech come back with a bang. Since you can already turn your iPhone photos into cool vintage-looking pics in more than a few ways, it's only natural that there would eventually be an iPhone 3GS app that turns your on-the-go videos into retro styled mini movies.

Called the Vintage Video Maker, this $3 app is worth its weight in fun - just capture your video within the app, or load one up that you've already shot, and choose between three old-timey styles: 20's movie, black and white, and 60's home video. You can also add sound effects like a running projector or loop an old piano to play over your 20's themed vid.

Are you as obsessed with vintage gadgets and tech like I am? Join our Vintage Geek group and share your retro faves with us!
