Sites to see...
Oh, these puns are just slaying me... No, really. Why to check out these sites?.......
First, I'll tease you with, "How do you get an XBox 360 core system for a $3 (yup, three clams) and $5 shipping? Well, you Woot! Well, you woulda Woot!ed when you needed to two weeks ago. Yup, for their site anniversary they had sold what they described as a "Bag o' Crap" for $3. They actually tried to insist on you getting three for the $3 since you could pick any amount up to three BoC's for the $3. And some lucky peeps got XBox 360 core systems. No joke. Check their site daily for some serious swag at jokingly small price tags. Caution: they start daily sales at midnite Central time and often sell out great products within an hour or two.
Aeropostale has all tops on sale 50% off. This is a company that was on my top three list of companies I wanted to work for in NYC (when I lived there). I never ended up working with them, but their reputation was so solid. I'd heard designers stayed for years there and one designer was offered more than double to leave and stayed. Wow. In case you're wondering, the other two are Triple Five Soul, that I did a wittle project for and Club Monaco (who I turned down working for to do the Triple Five project at the same g%@*##& time).
Office Depot has a coupon code: 79303552 for $40 off any $200 purchase online. Coupon is supposed to expire on 7/27/06.
Crutchfield.com is the site to check out for techies and gearheads. They have product specs on electronics and tech products that can put the owner's manual to shame! How, one might ask? They put their own reviews up and believe me, they know what they're doing. Worth buying from if you have any questions. Just check out their "Hands-On Research" page for my Canon S3 IS camera.
Once again, I find frustration with Netflix. I want to rent Dopo Mezzanotte (After Midnight) but it seems unavailable. It was released in 2004, so I dunno whether it was never pressed to dvd, imdb.com doesn't seem to show it as available either. Hmmm.
Next, Dogster.com seems the hip-hop-happenin' place to see and be seen for dogs and dog-lovers alike. Wow, I quickly found, like, um, two other Shiba Inus named Kira... And then stopped browsing dogster immediately. I thought my Kira was special... Actually, she still is.
Gee, what does the number1,639,381 have to do with anything? Well, funny you should ask me that. It just so happens that that was the rank I got on Technorati.com when I signed my blog up with their site (they call it "claiming your blog"). I blogged about Technorati already. Notice how I said past tense "was my rank"? As pathetic as it is, my rank has dropped daily since Saturday. Currently, it stands at 1,659,377.
Well, my flickr gallery has had 1,290 views now in less than 3 months since I started it.
Oh, if you don't use your programmable keyboard shortcut keys, maybe you should consider it. I think this is a quality-of-life improvement for me. Actually, maybe that is understating it. I have the Logitech LX 300 wireless keyboard/mouse set (Office Depot had on sale for like $35). I actually thought mine was a MX 500, but looks identical to this one.
I use the calcualor key for Sunbird calendar. Function keys for MS Office apps and Adobe apps. Home for Firefox browser, and some others for keystroke combo's like ctrl+w (close page) and alt+ left arrow, etc. These nav hot keys also work for Windows Explorer, while searching hard drives, cd drives, flash drives, and folders. I have a dedicated button for ctrl+O for switching from Photoshop to Bridge too. If you don't yet have a programmable keyboard, it's a great investment. I'm sure many don't care to read about all this... But anyways.....
Here's an event I think interesting. I'm putting at the end of my blog post, but it's worth noting. If you are at all into turntablism, beat jugling, hip hop, or DJ'ing; then this Saturday you should be at Cell Space for the DMC World Championships SF Heat. If the last sentence made no sense to you, pay me no mind. (You can pay me no mind anyways). However, these are the best of the best and they are taking on all the contenders.
