Free Tech Coupons for the Holidays

The way things are now you pretty much give tech stuff to the people you care about for Christmas. Computers, video games, .mp3 players, etc. So finding places that give you great coupons to get a big discount on these items lets you take your shopping dollar a bit further. Take the dell coupons on this site for instance. They have coupons for big savings of several hundred dollars for many of their select computers. I think i even saw one for as much as $425 for an Inspiron Notebook. Free shipping coupons, percentage off coupons, and many more.

Computers, and equipment aren’t the only thing you can save on with tech though. Check out the Buy.com coupons page and find savings on virtually anything they sell. They have dozens for specific products, but if you scroll down to the bottom there are quite a few cash off coupons available as well. You know those ones that you can save $20 when you spend $100, or a percentage off coupon for anything. Buy.com is a pretty great site as well. They don’t seem to be as popular as somewhere like Amazon, but I tend to find some much better deals there when I look most of the time. They have always been a very good service and get me things very quickly. They have even sold things there for less than what I could buy them through a distributor for as a “little guy”. Then you add a discount coupon on top of it and you are getting yourself a great deal.

Jailed Ex Wants in on Anna Nicole Estate

OK…this guy is in jail because he made criminal threats against Anna Nicole. He is serving a 6-year term, and now he is trying to get a piece of her estate.

Mark Hatten, who lists his current address as the Pleasant Valley State Prison in Coalinga, dated Smith in 2000 but was later found guilty of threatening her with a knife and assaulting one of her neighbors. He was acquitted of stalking her. He filed a claim Wednesday.

On his website he says that he is going to write a book called: “Hollywood Bad Boy: Sex, Drugs, and Anna Nicole.” Totally classy chap I must say.

No real details about the claim are out yet, but you have to assume, or I guess hope he doesn’t get anything out of the deal. The book is getting a lot of free promotion though, which I’m sure was the intent in filing it. What a tool.

Getting a Grandfather Clock

One of the most timeless decorative items of any home are grandfather clocks. The look just brings back many memories for us as they remind us of when things were more pleasant. They also have a unique look that matches almost any home. I’ve always loved the look, and the sound of these clocks and have enjoyed the one my grandmother has in her home for many years. The sound brings back great times of childhood when I used to spend many days at a time with her. These clocks just remind me of family.

Searching around for a bit of information on how to maintain the look and function of her clock online I came a crossed a blog dedicated to grandfather clocks! I found the post about grandfather clock maintenance extremely helpful, and was drawn to many other interesting articles about grandfather clocks.

It appears that the blog is attached to a store that has not only grandfather clocks, but tons of other unique and amazing clocks. Novelty clocks, cuckoo clocks, and even the mate of the grandfather, the grandmother clock :) . Pretty good site for anyone looking for any type of clock, and especially grandfather clocks. The blog is also quite informative so if you have a grandfather clock, or want to know more about them go and take a look. Grandfather clocks are great Christmas gifts, and many of the other ones are too such as the cuckoo clocks they have for anyone in your family that is just a bit cuckoo ;) .

Drew Carey Promote Medical Marijuana

The new host of the American classic game show the Price is Right, Drew Carey is doing a bit of work on not so Bob Barker friendly subjects.

“Smell that smell,” the 49-year-old comedian says as he walks into a Los Angeles medical marijuana dispensary. “That’s the smell of freedom.”

Carey, will be making 20 videos for the Reason Foundation, a nonprofit educational group whose ideas “some people call libertarian” and whose mission is to “advance freedom,” said president David Nott.

No…not all 20 videos are going to be about his promotion of medical marijuana, but that one is sure the headline grabber.

Here is his Medical Marijuana Video that is posted on Youtube:
