• Costco $100 Off Sceptre 32″ LCD HDTV Tuner: NTSC/ATSC/QAM
  i don’t think the repair shop will ever get our 42″ plasma working again. Time to recall it and get it back before I have to pay a repair cost (hurray for free estimates!!) THis will be a cheaper option anyway.

I found this poking around Craigslist for a new Blackberry. Anyone have a ditcher they can send them? “Have you got the ugliest phone with the most horrid scratches on it? Do you want a new one but are afraid you can’t get anything for your POS? I have a pre-paid GSM SIM card that I want to use in my car which has bluetooth.”

http://www.buy.com/prod/kingston_2_x_1gb_usb_2_0_datatraveler_flash_drive_kit/q/loc/14982/204134643.html?adid=17662

Rebate limit is two per person/household/address, so you can actually get 4 of these for $9.90 after rebate.

DataTraveler USB Flash drive is ideal for home office, small business, schools and promotions. It is affordable and puts mobile storage in nearly anyone’s hands. Now you can store, carry and transfer files quickly in an affordable, convenient device. The DataTraveler from Kingston helps budget-conscious users break storage barriers, allowing you to easily store and move files in a device no bigger than a pocketknife. As easy as click and drag, the DataTraveler can hold just about any file you can think of - reports pictures, spreadsheets or other important documents. It works with virtually any device with a USB port - even cross-platform from Macintosh to PC and vice versa. The DataTraveler also makes a great promotional item for your organization; it’s simple to add your logo to increase brand-recognition. Backed by a five-year warranty and Kingston’s legendary service and support, the DataTraveler is a reliable, inexpensive solution for carrying files or your next promotion.

BTW - If you haven’t used Google Checkout before, use that to get $10 off and essentially get four for free or get paid $5.00 to get two after all is said and done.

{EDIT: Note that Rebate ends March 31st; Don’t forget to print your reciept upon order completion, some friends have told me they didn’t get packing slips from buy.com}

Think Geek Temperature Changing LED Facuet Extension

Originally uploaded by mykoleary.

Click through to a photoset of our cool new Think Geek Temperature Changing LED Facuet Extensions we just got in the mail.

Kelsey was so excited to brush her teeth, she yelled out “Mommy, it’s chanigng color!”

Besides being really really cool, they are pracitcal too. Now the girls know when the water is too hot to touch, since hot water makes the LEDs go from blue to red.

The good news is I finally hit zero at work - both my Inbox and my to followup folders are clean!

The bad news (well for you at least) is that I did so by pumping lots of emailed URLS into my del.icio.us bookmarks… *blush*

So, if you’re not very development or Ruby inclined, I’d skip my linkpost that’ll come up later today from del.icio.us…

Have a good weekend!!!
