Deal of the Week!: I just bought a generic Bluetooth headset for $.99! The deal is like this, the headset is $59, but Buy.com is blowing these things out for $10.99. Then you use Google Checkout for the first time and get a $10 checkout. Use the free shipping option (will probably come sometime during McCain's second term) and it is indeed just 99 cents.

Tip of the Week: I was talking to my dad about this a few weeks ago and then Mary asked about it. So I did it and absolutely love it! This is the deal. Get your favorite MP3 client like Winamp, and then go grab a stream ripping program (like Stream Ripper). Now you go to your favorite online radio station like SmoothJazz.com or any of the channels on Sky.FM and then activate the stream ripper. It snags each song as an individual MP3 and saves them all in a folder to listen to offline or run over to your MP3 player. You will need to spend about a minute deleting the bumps and PSAs, but it is really incredible. Set your ripper to grab overnight and have a couple hundred songs in the morning. You can fill that new 160MB iPod in no time!
Quotes of the Week:
Best new software: I bought Sage's ACT! again. This isn't really new, but I have a new laptop so I am reconfiguring and really, really love this program. Organizes everything in my life. I also got Adobe's Lightroom, but right now don't see much that is that helpful that I can't do in Photoshop CS3. Will load some RAW files later and see if there is a big difference.
Site of the Week: Fathers.com, just a great site to help you be a better dad.
Song of the Week: Love is a Beautiful Thing, by Phil Vassar. First time a song has made me cry since Butterfly Kisses. (note to my daughters - I love you!)
