A Bargain Shopping Truth

Not to put a damper on your Holiday bargain shopping…..
But sometimes you’re not going to save 50% or even 30%!
What?

Yeah it’s true… but the small discount you get may be the deepest discount possible. Welcome to unilateral pricing policies and retail market manipulations.

Barcode Scanner Apps for Your Cell

Barcode scanner apps are cell phone applications that will scan a barcode from your cell and then pull up relevant info such as pricing and store location.

You can see pricing variations and use that knowledge to determine if you are getting a “bargain”.

Incredible Deals on Adobe Software

OK… we’ve been here for awhile and have used Adobe products since our inception. Photoshop, Dreamweaver and Flash, to name a few. But as of last week we were still on Photoshop 7 and Dreamweaver MX. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it…unless of course you get a killer deal on an upgrade.

Enter necessity. Our daughter has shown some computer chops and we decided if she was going to learn Photoshop, it had to be the latest version, CS5.

Our Mac Died!

Just as luck would have it, my Mac Mini died on July 4th. A quick trip to The Apple store (yep they were open the 4th) to have them take a look at it confirmed our predicament.

After a day of fireworks and gorging ourselves on hot dogs and spareribs we set out on the 5th to replace the computer.

Back to School 2009

Holy cow… It’s back to school time already. I don’t know if I should scream in terror or jump up and down with joy.  My plan is usually just to get basic necessities for back to school.
