All About Compact Fluorescent Lights (CFLs)

JoeFuture — Sat, 10 Feb 2007 04:32:00 GMT

Did you know? Changing 1 standard light bulb to a compact fluorescent light (CFL) can save you $.50 to $.75 per month on your energy bill, and that the typical CFL lasts up to 5 years? That's a savings of nearly $30 per bulb!

Sony UX280P for just $1299?

JoeFuture — Wed, 29 Nov 2006 03:19:00 GMT

If you're as excited about the Sony UX280P as I am but the fat $1890 price tag puts your giddyness on standby, you should know about Sony's laptop trade-in program. Trade in any working Sony laptop at TechDepot and get $600 off a new UX280P at TechDepot. Any other brand laptop will net you $400 towards that new micro-PC. The same deal applies for most other VAIO laptops too!

For details, go to the Tech Depot REBATES and SPECIAL OFFERS page at TechDepot.com, then choose "Sony Computer Peripherals" in the dropdown. On the page that comes up, search for the VAIO model of your choice.

Granted, $1290 is still a lot of cash for a PC with this firepower, but take the miniscule size into consideration. Small costs big. It's always been that way. This thing could double as a portable DVD player, VOIP phone, PDA, DV camera, mobile blogging/podcasting station, or just your all around best friend.

The next question is where can you come up with a cheap working laptop for < $400? For some reason, there are a bunch of Dell Latitude's for under $200 on eBay tonight. Or try your local PC recycle store.

Why I love Vonage

JoeFuture — Sat, 25 Nov 2006 05:00:00 GMT

You've seen their goofy ads and maybe you've also heard about 911 troubles with VOIP (that's Voice Over Internet Protocol) telephone companies. Well I've had Vonage for over a year and I love it. Aside from only costing $24.95 for the same (actually better) features that Time Warner charges almost $45 for, they offer a much better web interface.

For example, I can configure Vonage to ring my wife's cellphone at the same time it rings our house phone. I can also have it forward all voicemails to me in e-mail as .WAV attachments.

You can get 1 month of Vonage for free when you sign up online. Visit Vonage.com to learn more.

Even better deals at Dicks Sports!

JoeFuture — Fri, 24 Nov 2006 11:50:00 GMT

I found an even better deal today at Dicks Sports on the poker chips I mentioned recently. The same set was marked down to just $19.95! Since Circuit City was packed to the rim with shoppers (seriously, the line was about 250 people long), I wandered down to Dicks, walked right in, found the chips, and was out in about 5 minutes total. So I feel like my Black Friday shopping experience was a success.

I passed on the poker table (which was marked down to $79.95) using the reasoning that any other type of folding table would also be useful as a table. A poker table is just a poker table. So if you end up in my home game, that's why we're not playing on green felt.
