Here at work, we get our pay stubs a few days before we actually get paid. It’s kind of nice actually to know what to expect on Friday – even if it is only Tuesday. Today however, I think I’d rather not know.
I just took a peek at my paystub and started deducting the bills that I have to pay for the month.. wow. Talk about a kick in the junk. Good thing we have a lot of leftover food in the fridge cuz I’ll see you next paycheque! All …

So Liz and I were doing some Christmas shopping on Wednesday night at Shoppers and since I don’t want to give away what I was buying there, I’ll just quickly say that it was a major purchase (over $100). However, as we were approaching the checkout counter, I had remembered that almost every Saturday Shoppers has a big sale on of some sort.
Usually they give away 20X Optimum points or free gift cards, but they usually give something to reward shoppers that frequent their spot on Saturdays. I’m really not …

Ok, I should be good for a long, long time. I now have what I would like to believe as the perfect home movie theatre setup.
I followed the following guide almost to the letter and created my own silent XBMC (Xbox Media Center) on a small Nettop computer which I was only able to get from the states at the price I wanted which was $199, not even on sale at Best Buy.
I won’t re-invent of paste the instructions for the XBMC computer as you can read all about it …

Wow what a weekend.. talk about going by way to fast, eh?
I’m happy to report that I have started my Christmas shopping, and that between both Liz and I we do have a lot of people that we’ve completed shopping for, however unfortunately I have to say that it doesn’t look like I’ll be completed on November 25th as I was originally planning.
That’s ok though, I had a great weekend of playing some cards, some hockey, and most importantly.. two photo shoots which I had a great time doing on …

Once again, it’s Buy.com’s weekly deals time. I usually like to write about their sale due to the fact it keeps me updated with all the new tech and also where the prices are going. They have much more than tech though, which is another reason why I like their site.
For example, this week they have a Kingston 16GB CompactFlash Elite Pro 133X card which would be EXTREMELY helpful for me since that’s what both my 40D Canon Camera AND my Canon Rebel XT take as storage mediums. Let’s see, …

Man, Halloween is getting to be a very costly day!
Just got back from Walmart, and of course we spent over $100 on candy! Man oh man, as much as that bothers me.. nothing bothers me more than how much they mark them down as soon as Halloween is over! What we just bought for $9.50 a bag, will likely be on sale for $4.00 a bag or less after Saturday! GRRR!!
Spent a few hours at Liz’s Moms place this afternoon as well. Her Mom is helping Liz sew together her …

So last week I went and bought a 1TB hard drive online at what I thought was a good price.. and here this week, it’s on sale for cheaper! DOH! The best part about this one, is that it’s external instead of the usually cheaper internal ones I buy.. dammit dammit dammit!
Buy.com is a US company, but with the dollar getting close to par the way it is again.. it’s a really good time to go looking for some deals in south of the border. I know that buy.com …
