Something Shiny

Although amusing throughout, I wasn’t laughing out loud until the “magic frame.”

Steve Miller’s Abracadabra…

So, Oprah has confessed her undying love for Amazon’s Kindle. So what? Isn’t is still the same device that forces you to pay retail sale price for books and doesn’t let you sell them when you’re done? Yes. But some people just don’t want to use their local library or have crazy gadget lust and are always looking for the next great mediocre thing. If this describes you, save some cash ($50) and use the coupon code OPRAHWINFREY when you check out.

BTW, for those of you who don’t obsessively follow gadget prices, the Kindle just dropped from $399, to $359 which means the after coupon price is $309.

Kindle: Amazon’s Wireless Reading Device

I present Gnarles Barkley’s Boogie Monster, from their St. Elsewhere
album

Ok, first off… I’ve never seen a “pro-theft” safe, so the anti-theft bit seems a little unnecessary. But after making a big deal about it being “anti-theft” as opposed to fireproof or something, it’s tucked under the Hunting category. So, given the dimensions of the safe, I’m wondering if

• Walmart customers are hunting with handguns
• Walmart customers do not want their dead goodies to be burgled

BTW, I am not a Walmart hater, although I think their web strategy leaves something to be desired. Check out the anti-theft glock pheasant safe for yourself here.

So, I’ve gotten it in my head to start up the site again. I’ll be trying to get things back together here over the next week or so.

Enjoy The Groovie Ghoulies!

First caught these guys at the Pizza Luce block party a couple years back. I thought they were pretty awesome so I bought their home-brew EP. I listened to them after I sobered up and they were still pretty awesome. So, I’m pretty psyched about their full length CD. Check them out at the Varsity on 11/7, or on their Myspace page.

So… Electric Six has a new album out: “Flashy”. It’s not as awesome as Fire but it’s still worth checking out.

Oh yeah, and they’re in town at First Ave this Sunday (11/26). The albums may be nothing special lately, but the live shows are still amazing.

Hey, do you have more remotes than hands? Do you have to write a novella for someone to watch your TV when you’re not around? Check out this deal on a smart remote over at Amazon.

Alright, never mind. It was $70, but now it’s back up (way way up).
