For the guys, you have:
Flip Flops, High Top Sneakers, Socks and Sandals, 70’s Leather Platforms
For the ladies, check out:
Sunny Day Sandals, White 60’s Boots
Those lace-up boots clearly fell from the dungeons of Hot-topic. But that’s [...]

How to Sell Technology to Women

by Bukola EkundayoMay 13, 2009 News

DON’T.
Whenever a company tries to sell me something using a gendered campaign I gag. Why?
They assume that women aren’t seated at the techy table.  
The Consumer Electronics Association (CES) says women accounted for $55 billion of the $96 billion spent on electronics gear. And, that women are involved in almost 75 percent of all [...]

by Bukola EkundayoMay 9, 2009 Gaming News

I’m loving the new meetups for gaming enthusiasts here in New York. In addition to Muse Gaming Night there’s also Chelsea Mind Games, a live game show! I went to one of the shows, (which turned out to be a geography bee) a couple weeks ago. Chelsea Market hosts the game show every Wednesday. Each week you have the [...]

by Bukola EkundayoMay 8, 2009 The Pixel Life

Playing Catch Up

by Bukola EkundayoApril 20, 2009 Ms. Pixel Tweets

It finally feels like Spring! Here’s what I’ve been up to lately…
Playing Assassin’s Creed 
I know I’m playing it late in the game but that’s how I roll. I wait for the price and the hype to level off before I buy my games. 
I like Assassin’s so far. The meta-play is the most interesting aspect of [...]

Guest Post: Coming of Age in the Gaming Industry

by Dale BeermanApril 8, 2009 Gaming News

Big news! Today I’m handing over Ms. Pixel’s keys to a man. 

Lately, I’ve been thinking and blogging about gaming startups and gaming entreprenuship in New York. I’ve also entertained thoughts of starting my own gaming company. So when I meet gaming entreprenuers like Dale Beermann… I’m in awe. Entering an industry with established players like Electronic Arts, Activison and THQ takes a massive amount [...]

What Do You Do with Your Old Gaming Consoles?

by Bukola EkundayoApril 8, 2009 Gaming News

Last week, I finally gave up the search for my old Sega Dreamcast gaming console.  I’ve gone through boxes in my basement, looked under my bed and turned my attic upside down. I think I might’ve thrown it away! And now I’ve blocked it from my memory because what I did was so horrible.
But then I [...]

Women in the Gaming Biz: College and Beyond

by Bukola EkundayoMarch 26, 2009 Gaming News

After hearing about a Microsoft employee’s alleged run in with homophobia in the workplace, I’ve had serious thoughts about pursuing a career in games. There aren’t many women in the industry and it looks like intolerance can run rampant on both the consumer and employee side of the business. But things may be looking up.
