New Segment: Cheap Tech

I’ve been contemplating this for a while, due to my current place of employment, and me kind of wanting to keep my job (no job, no blog), but I’ve decided to just go for it.

Cheap tech! What is it? Well, really, you don’t need to ask, it is what it is, tech for cheap! If you follow me closely on Twitter, I work at the local Big Lots, The World’s Best Bargain Place, as we say. We do sell cheap electronics, but I’ve been testy on whether or not I should even try any of it. But for you, my loyal readers, I’m going to go for it. I’m going to set up myself a little paypal so that you can send me donations to at least help pay for some of these (possibly) great products.

Now, I don’t want to sound like I’m asking for charity. If you’ve been to Big Lots lately and looked through our grand electronics department, the most expencive thing is $300, then the next is $50. Most of the things I’ll be reviewing will be around $20.

I also don’t want to be showing favoritism to my employer, so I’ll be going to other bargain stores, and sometimes grabbing sale items from Circuit City (if I ever go there again) or Best Buy.

If you’d like to e-mail me bargain items you’d like to see/hear/read me review (yes, I said see, I’m working on funding for a camcorder) send your tips to specialKolin [at] gmail [dot] com, or in the comments below.

For the Soul

Here’s a new blog for all you blog readers. Anthology of the Human Soul is a blog that shares stories from people of little experiences that touch the heart. You can even submit your own story anonymously to the admin. It’s brand new, so they don’t have much to read yet, but surely it’ll pick up over time.

Go check it out.

SpecialKolin.com now has a homepage!

I did some work today for specialKolin.com, since, as you should know, me just having a domain with a blog on it isn’t enough. I’m currently considering making it two blogs put together.

Anyhow, go check it out, leave your comments below…I need feedback…and not the bad kind from speakers.

Second WordPress Post! [a ramble]

ZoMg!1!! WoRdPrEsS!!1!

Ah, my second WordPress post. I’ve gotten quite familiar with this site, although I’ve been distracted most of my day today. Needless to say, my iPhone 3G has finally gotten to the imfamous 20% mark [in the red, if you will], and it’s reporting to me that it has received over 127 MB over EDGE. I somehow don’t think that that is enough.

Tomorrow [this being written at 1am, so essentially today], for me, is another lovely day in the wonderful world of retail. I think I’ll be home mid-afternoon, which could be good so that I might actually produce my podcast finally…however I might do that with WordPress, I’m not 100% sure, but I’m bound to find out the long way [just like I found out about WordPress's greatness...the long way].

In the event that you haven’t seen all of my posts either here or on twitter, I’ve recently upgraded to Leopard on my, at least, 1.5 year old MacBook [which I like to call the MacTop, cause I prefer the term laptop over notebook since I use notebooks regularly to collect my thoughts] and I absolutely am loving it, as any Mac nerd would. The only problems I’ve had is that it’s crashed twice on me, and every time I reboot it, Spotlight seems to want to index the drive all over again, thus killing my CPU. Maybe rebooting it without forcing it to shut down could fix that. Then again, I may have not updated recently.

We’ll see how tomorrow goes…you shall hear from me later [haha, literally]
