The Neverending Controversy

As most of you know, I grew up in western New York. Growing up, I always said 'pop'. It wasn't until I went to college in Boston that my usage of 'pop' was looked at as weird. From then on, I made it a habit to call it 'soda', because frankly, everyone else was doing it.

This map pretty much shows exactly my conclusion on the 'pop vs. soda' debacle. 'Coke' has always been the word down south, no matter what kind of soft drink it is, it's always been 'Coke'. Rochesterians have always been known to have almost a midwestern accent, and the use of pop is no different. As you can see, pretty much from Rochester through the midwest and to the West Coast of Seattle, 'pop' is the commonly used name. However, in Boston, where I adopted the new term, 'soda' is more prevalent, including my current residency in California.

Which side do you take on this one? And let's be honest, does it really even matter? (I don't even drink 'Coke'...)

How Could You RSVP 'No' To This?

Um, this is kind of amazing. And I work with wedding invitations.

Two betrothed German geeks/gamers just upped the ante when it comes to wedding invitations.

The pair, programed two versions of a Mario-inspired 8-bit video game as their wedding invitations and sent them out to friends and family. Guests are also challenged to beat the game should they wish to unlock the wedding details.

Their video game wedding invitations — dubbed Incredible Adventure — also included some remarkable custom packaging (as seen below) and two different versions of the game so would-be guests could play as either the bride or the groom.
