Jack BBQ and Hard Drives, Not So Different

Monday, November 23rd, 2009 at 12:41 pm

I know I am not the only guy that trains my stomach before I go to a buffet.  There’s an awesome all-you-can eat BBQ place outside of Austin that is an event worthy of training.  Several days before I go, I gradually increase my meal size.  Then the day before I go, I eat light.  Then when I hit The Salt Lick in all of its smoked briskety glory, I eat like a champ.

Black Friday is kind of the same for me.   New Egg is running a Pre-Black Friday Sale that I’d equate to a pre-buffet training meal.  Personally, I’m looking for a 50″ TV.  Will I buy it today?  No way.  Gotta build up to that on Friday.  But today I can do a nice trial run just looking at the 25 items that New Egg has on sale.  For instance, the Seagate Expansion 2TB USB 2.0 External Hard Drive is absolutely  killer at $150 with free shipping from New Egg.  You cannot touch this 2TB drive for under $200 anywhere else.  I’ll bet money that this price is as good as you’ll find, even come Friday.  So…for the TV, I’ll sit tight for a few days, but this hard drive is an immense amount of storage for a price that I never could have imagined even a year ago, and I’m on it like an athlete loading carbs before the Olympics.

I came.  I trained.  And on Friday, I conquer.

Cheers!

Jack
