To paraphrase George Costanza, worlds have collided!
Microsoftie Josh Weisberg, the guy we wrote about earlier this year who rose to fame when he secured a coveted Canon lens mug at the Vancouver Olympics (sorry, that original post was destroyed when our blog went down), recently celebrated his 40th birthday with, get this, a birthday cake in the shape of a giant Nikon digital SLR.
Josh's friend Mia made it for him, basing it on an old D200 he loaned her. (Ok, so maybe he's not a Canon guy, after all.)
Josh reports that the entire cake is edible, including the printed labels which are made of edible ink; the plastic on the LCD panels; the lens; and the back cover which are made of sugar.
Happy birthday Josh! And maybe for your next one Mia can make a cake shaped like a Canon lens mug. Talk about worlds colliding.
Yes, it had to happen. Earlier this year we broke the news on the Canon White Lens coffee mug that was being distributed at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver and the Internet nearly exploded. Now a Nikon version has surfaced.
(Gulp.)
Don't know if it's an "official" Nikon release, but this simulated Nikon AF-S 24-70mm F/2.8 lens thermos coffee cup looks pretty sweet. We especially like the gold box treatment and the drawstring carrying bag.
It's selling for $23 here where they've got a few more choice photos of it.
Get 'em while they last!
Last year we told you about this custom birthday cake designed as a Nikon D700 and now here's the inevitable Canon 5D Mark II version by Studio Cake. Our only question is: how many pixels per byte?

Update: Full story here: Condé Nast to Close Gourmet, 3 Others. Our early breaking news post follows.

All Things Digital and The New York Times are reporting this morning that Condé Nast is about to fold Gourmet, Cookie, Modern Bride, and Elegant Bride. We are working to confirm this.
Gourmet is one of two well-regarded food magazines published by Condé, the other being Bon Appetit. Speculation has raged for months that the publishing company might close one of the titles.
The two bridal magazines on the chopping block are among three wedding titles published by Condé Nast, the other being Brides. Cookie is a relatively new title for parents.
More information soon.
