			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now that Christmas and the New Year are over, the next interesting &#8220;festival&#8221; for many is that of Valentine&#8217;s Day.</p>
<p>In our roundup of <a href="http://www.forevergeek.com/2007/02/5_valentines_day_gifts_for_your_geek/">five Valentine&#8217;s Day gifts for your geek</a> we featured Hallmark&#8217;s Valentine&#8217;s Day cards featuring sound. That&#8217;s fairly old hat now, so three years on and Hallmark has upped its game by creating a limited edition video card that plays some of Disney&#8217;s most famous screen kisses.</p>
<p><img style=' display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;'  src="http://www.forevergeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/hallamrk-disney-video-card-540x388.jpg" alt="hallamrk disney video card 540x388 Modern Valentine&#039;s Card has Disney video player inside" title="hallamrk-disney-video-card" width="540" height="388" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-15467" /></p>
<p>No, it&#8217;s not a YouTube link or a card sent by email. This is a <em>real</em> card which contains a small video screen on which the romantic video is played.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the rub: in the UK, just 1,500 of these cards have been made and, at just £20 each, demand is likely to be high.</p>
<p>Video clips include moments from Lady and the Tramp, Beauty and the Beast, Sleeping Beauty and Aladdin, and this could be one card that doesn&#8217;t end up in the trash soon after February 14th.</p>
<p>(If it does, you&#8217;re <em>not</em> allowed to rescue it and give it next year… to anyone)</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re in Britain and you want one, you&#8217;ll need to get yourself to a Clinton&#8217;s store in early February to see if you can bag yourself one.</p>
<p>Otherwise, here are some more <a href="http://www.forevergeek.com/2009/02/ultimate_valentines_day_gift_guide_for_geeks/">Valentine&#8217;s gift ideas</a>.</p>

<p>There&#8217;s plenty of scope for updating the type of information displayed on it, though. Take <a href="http://www.kimbost.com/">Kim Bost</a>&#8216;s <a href="http://www.swiss-miss.com/2009/02/status-update-business-card.html">business card design</a> which simply provides space for a &#8220;status update&#8221;.</p>
<p><span id="more-11226"></span></p>
<p>In case you think that font looks familiar, it&#8217;s fittingly the same one used by Facebook ? Klavika from Process Type Foundry <a href="http://www.swiss-miss.com/2009/02/status-update-business-card.html#comment-14419">according to</a> <a href="http://general-projects.com/">Ben Pieratt</a>.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a cool concept, though perhaps not the most ideal if you actually want to contact Kim again in the future. Perhaps there&#8217;s details on the back &#8211; at very least a web site and a Twitter name.</p>
<p>If you had this business card, would you always write an honest status on it, knowing that it could sit around on someone&#8217;s desk for months?</p>
