hnny: Grandpa, what’s this?
Grandpa: That’s an appleseed. One day it will grow into a big apple tree covered with apples.
Johnny: And what will happen when the apples get old, Grandpa?
Grandpa: Well Johnny, the old apples will be send back to Steve Jobs who will personally refurbish them, making them just like new apples again. Then the refurbished apples will be sold for pennies on the dollar, just like the $350 refurbished Apple G4 iBook Laptop with 1.33GHz Processor, 1GB, 40GB, 12.1″ 1024×768 Display, Combo Drive ,WiFi, (more…)
It’s back to the grindstone. Probably like a bunch of you, I’m back to my full-time job today for the first time since around December 18th. If you’re happy and you know it clap your hands. Or pour 2 shots of Irish whiskey into your unassuming Starbucks cup. Either way.
So today is all about finding some kind of motivation.
1) I’m out of arms’ reach for my wife to assign honey-do tasks. WahooOOOooo! 2) My cruder jokes will find appreciative ears again. 3) My work monitor is 24″ and still gives me chills.
If that last statement gave you monitor envy, tell your boss and his new budget about (more…)

The next time someone starts going off about the “good old days”, I’m gonna roll my eyes so loudly you can hear it. Then I’m gonna lay the verbal smack down. “How much did a 24 inch monitor cost back in the olden days, Joe?” *dramatic pause* “That’s what I THOUGHT, Joe. “ Game. Set. Match.
But I can’t let it go. I’ll keep rubbing salt in the wounds already gauged by my verbal mastery. “Hey Joe, do you think during your glory years in college you could have gotten a Dell ST2410 24″ Full HD Widescreen Monitor for $189 at Dell?! (more…)
I’d like to give a shout out to Windows 7. I didn’t wanna like you, with all of the hype…but I have to give credit where credit is due. If you’re thinking about making the switch…go for it. I now have two computers that work well again for the first time in over a year, thanks to Windows 7. Everything works faster and more reliably, and I’m pretty sure that my system boots way faster than even when it was new. Check out Buy.com for new price drops on various versions of Windows 7.

Raise your hand if you want to add more devices to your home network. Put your hand down if you don’t have $0.80. For the rest of you,NewEgg.com is laying the smack down with their price on the D-Link DES-1105 10/100Mbps Desktop Switch (5 x RJ45 2K MAC Address Table 64KB Buffer Memory). It retails at $23, is on sale for $10.81 and is a mere 80 cents after the $10 mail-in rebate. The reviews are glowing. I’d trust a moderately bright 13 year old to set this up (because frankly, they are starting to outpace me on these things). Setup is easy. The size is small so it can easily be mounted to a wall or under a desk. And the best part – it works. It just plain works. So pick 4 of your favorite devices (more…)
Remember how scanners used to be really expensive? And then a few years ago, prices plummeted and you’d practically get a scanner free anytime you bought a computer, a hard drive, or a family-sized pack of frozen waffles. It’s a beautiful thing. Monitor prices have really dropped over the last year. Maybe 3 years from now, we’ll get a free 24″ monitor with any cordless mouse purchase. But even now, prices are making me smile. JR.com is offering the Acer Computer X233H BD 23″ Widescreen LCD Monitor for just $165. 23″ for $165. I’ll take 3. Shipping is free, and the ratings are solid at 4.5 stars after 15 reviews.

Walk with me through time to explore the history and future of metal mesh. Here we are in the Dark Ages in Europe: October 14th, 1066. The control of England is at stake. Can we make some noise for the Norman army of William the Conqueror? *applause* And how about the Anglo-Saxon army led by Harold Godwinson? *weaker applause* Only one side can win and they can’t win if they all die. Survival is the name of the game. Speaking of which, what I wouldn’t give for a Bacon Ultimate Cheeseburger… Most of the men are suited up in their metal mesh armour, chainmail. William the Conqueror wins. Metal mesh wins. (more…)

Though the camera and untold throngs of women love me, it is not my job to be popular. No, sir. It is my job to tell you about the best deals. Even if you’re sick of monitors. Because I love you (in a heterosexual, deal enthusiast kind of way). So for the last couple of days, I’ve been busy drooling over 24″ monitors for $199. And today, which ironically is the anniversary of the 8 best years of my wife’s life, a (more…)
