Han Cholo’s 14k Gold 40oz O.E. necklace

Monday, November 10th, 2008

I’m loving this company for three reasons:

1. Their name is brilliant.

2. Their site design is sick. Designed like a rad 80’s arcade game, navigate just like you did when you were crushing Donkey Kong back in ‘86.

3. They’re slanging silver & gold plated O.E. bottle pendants:

If you’re interested in getting one, or checking out all their other rad gear, go to hancholo.com. They’ve got a large variety of bad ass belt buckles, rings, bracelets, necklaces, etc. Oh, and if you’d like to get yourself one of these 40oz pendants, check out the pricing below. So for the price it’d cost you to get around 1000 O.E. 40’s, you can get a 14k gold necklace of an O.E. 40oz.

silver $200
gold plated $225
14k gold $2,250

40cozy’s iPhone app reaches 100,000 downloads

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008

We’re very proud of reaching the 100k mark in just two weeks. That’s the nerdy equivalent of a gold record, right? If you haven’t heard yet, we recently launched pour1out, a free iPhone application.

Pour1out is an iPhone application paying homage to the street tradition of pouring out some of your 40oz to commemorate fallen homies. The main feature is a motion-sensitive 40oz beer bottle that pours out when you tilt the iPhone. Users can select any of 40cozy’s beer koozies to add to the virtual beer. The greatest feedback involves the one-click button that finds the nearest liquor store, utilizing the iPhone’s GPS functionality.

We initially had some glitches in the first version, but I guess that’s what you get when you pay the developer in beer. We’ve released a newer version with better coding and we’ll keep working to improve the app.

While we’ve received some very positive reviews from several beer-drinking sites, it seems some of the iPhone users are slightly less impressed. We’re pretty sure they don’t get the tongue-in-cheek, ironic beauty of an application inspired by a $2.45 beer for a $300 phone. It has a button that finds the nearest liquor stores… and it’s free! Are you not entertained?

Perhaps they think we’re a slick corporate company trying to capitalize on the street cred of the 40oz. Well, we’re not. The app was created by Scott, our resident tech-savvy guy, in under two weeks. He filmed the 40 oz pouring out beer in his garage, dusted off his programming textbook, slapped at a keyboard for a long time, and behold: 40cozy’s pour1out.

We’re proud of it and we hope you enjoy it. We’re already working on another iPhone app for drinkers that’s going to blow every other app out of the water. That’s right, developer bitches, get ready for more genius from 40cozy.

If the movie is as good as this music video, then Step Brothers is a must see. Will Ferrell and John C. Riley rappin’ and reppin’ hard.

Gangstafied Excel Charts & Graphs

Thursday, November 15th, 2007

Being a business major, I for some reason had to take 2 statistics classes and 3 accounting classes- not sure why, since I haven’t used that stuff once since being on the outside. That stuff is for squares as far as I’m concerned.

There was this kid that always ended up in my biz classes. He’s the typical wanksta white kid with his ears tucked into his hat (stickers still proudly left on), wearing a Sean John jumpsuit and Timberland boots. You know that guy. The one with a single ipod earpiece in during class, so that you can hear 50cent or some other top 40 hip-hop blaring out the other. Yeah, well I used to clown this guy until the first midterm got handed back. Apparently, this cat is a mathematical genius. The point of this nonsensical story is twofold:

First, don’t judge a toolbag by his cover, because he might be a great kid to sit behind for exams. Secondly, I wanted to bring to your attention a bad ass website that must have been created by the aforementioned douche.

The site provides mathematical charts and graphs to represent rap songs. Here are some good samples:

Mo money mo problems

superman

natedog

Solid site, I’m going to pour some out for that kid from stats class- never should have underestimated him.
