Need your help! Looking for a blog...

A few months ago I stumbed on a blog that chronicles the opening of geek toys, like laptops, PDAs, etc. It was mostly step-by-step photos that showed the packages being opened. Now I can't seem to find that blog anywhere.

I'm speaking at a packaging conference on Thursday and am looking for examples of how people will post photos, videos or even just commentary online about really great and really bad package design.

Anyone remember that blog? Thanks in advance.

Peter and Matt,
Yes! That is the blog I was thinking of.

If anyone has any other examples of user-generated content around packaging design, please post a comment.

Thanks all for your help!
