Why Do I Keep Fighting The Urge To Buy A Netbook?..

I’ve had a netbook before – for those of you whom don’t know what a netbook is, it’s basically a laptop – but very much smaller, and more limited. The biggest difference generally is the lack of a CD-ROM/DVD-ROM player in it. They’re pretty slick and I keep thinking that I want one… the problem is – I’ve already had one and I sold it due to the fact that I didn’t use it!

Why do I want one now [...]

Wear Something Red To Old Navy – Get 30% Off!

Pretty sweet deal if you ask me, especially since it’s pretty easy to wear something red or something with Canada on it.

Old Navy will give you 30% off your entire purchase if you wear something red, or that says ‘Canada’ or has a maple leaf. Only available this weekend, from January 29-31.

That’s a pretty good deal considering the best Old Navy Weekly coupons are normally 20-25% off and $50 off $100 (which are difficult to get).

Goodbye WDTVLive, Hello again XBMC

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 [...]

I’m Not Going To Have My Shopping Done!

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 [...]
