I’m a sucker for contests - you all know that… I’m also fanatical about Rick Uyesugi’s 500 Days To Fame project - something that I think is a brilliant idea. Recently though, Rick started up a brand new blog, branded the ‘Bento Box Review‘. The site covers all things cool, geeky and fashionable and also incorporates the odd video podcast which can be viewed directly from the site or from the iTunes music store. As it happens, Rick reviewed my blog a while back, so we already know that this guy can spot quality when he sees it. (That was a joke… )

Using his superior design skills, Rick has created an incredibly clean, simple and easy to navigate design for the website, based on an existing FamFam theme. The video podcast is integrated within the sidebar for easy-access and is uber-professional, with fancy tid-bits being shown off, reviewed and rated throughout the show. The site is also holding a competition, these next few weeks - cool stuff.

Blog Highlights

- Unique Design (iPod Sushi? Genius!)
- Great Content (Random and wonderful)
- Individual Quality (No-one else writes like Rick!)
- Great RSS Button ( )

Blog Low-points

- Quiet Community (Not for long though!)
- Video-casts aren’t frequent (I’d love to see more!)
- Posting is infrequent (Just timestamp posts to go out at intervals. )
