Tell a Friend Button

Minor little addition to the deals page.

There is now a "tell a friend" button so you can let your peers know about a hot deal.
I also gave it a minor look & feel change, but I'm not sure whether it's easier to see. Needs a lot of work.

My iPod Nano

I recently got an iPod Nano. I met this lady from Craigslist selling it for a decent price and I asked if there were any engravings and she told me how her daughter got it and it's brand new..

I give her the money, come home and open it.. it has "Genentech 2005" engraved on the back.

So anyways, I head on over to the Apple store to buy some accessories to protect the nano.
First I wanted the Lanyard, but at $40.. I thought I would rather buy a nice Sony earphone for that price.


So I go look for that little sock to just protect the Nano from scratches


It's $30! Well, you get 6 socks so it's more like $5/sock but COME ON! Even I don't get socks that expensive for my own feet.

I came home empty handed hoping Amazon would have them cheaper and they do but only by a few bucks :(

Good Deal or Evil?

I had the late night munchies so I drove over to safeway and picked up a drink / sandwich.
The sandwich was $3.99 and the drink was 89 cents. It rang up 95 cents.
Then I was faced with this "should I tell him about the mistake or should I feel lucky"

My dad always used to talk to me about being honest in this situation and I always have been. I can remember at least two times where the cash register gave me $10 extra change, and I gave it back..

but today.. I just let it by...

I felt totally fine about it until I wrote this blog.. now I'm feeling I wish I paid $3.99 for this sandwich. Arg..

Every Sunday, they have a farmer's market! The strawberres are the best.

It's very lively with live music and people playing chess or dancing around in the middle.

Searching Car for Scoopons

So I heard that Scoopons is looking for a car so I go to help today.

Scoopons is looking for a car that is under $20k and reliable, fun, useful.

We first head to Scion, I keep saying how it's for a younger crowd, but Scoopons has a strange attachent to it. I personally felt the xB was pretty cool. Spacious and looks like fun to cruise in.

My favorite quote from the dealer was "Well.. the thing about Scion is that.. we give free test drives.. that's the thing"

Then we went to Honda to checkout their Element. We were sold. Looked like fun, very useful and wow, the space in the backseat. The price was a little passed $20k, but I'm sure we could find it used for lower.

We stopped by/drove by some other places, but nothing interesting

For the heck of it, we stopped by BMW. Wow.. some day.. some day....
Everything looked nice, but I fell in love with this one car.. labeled M5. So I take a look at the price.. $90k+.. no thank you.

This is a M6.

Visiting Mozilla

One guy I worked with from Mozilla yesterday asked for my shirt size... ALRIGHT FREE SHIRT! I love FREE SHIRTS. We couldn't pick a time that was convenient so I just invited myself to Mozilla to pick up the free shirt. I was a bit hyped since ... it's MOZILLA. I was wondering what kind of campus they have, etc.

I thought it would be nice to get him a little something from Google so I asked our secretary and front desk for freebies. I wanted to keep the shirt for myself =P

So it turns out they were REALLY close by. So I just grabbed one of our scooters and headed there. It was a small office, but the environment inside was very dot comy. Not like I know what is the dot com lifestyle, but if everyone says Google is dot com lifestyle, so is Mozilla. Pool table, bean bags, a lot of snacks. They were having a meeting about Firefox 2!

Anyhow, I have a small friendly chitchat.. introduction with the guy and got my free shirt and stickers. Saw this on the way out.. apparently it's made by the CEO.

Thanks Mozilla! I'll slap the sticker somewhere on my computer.

First Production Change on Google

I got to make my very first production change on Google!

I only got to touch internal tools or backend goodies until now!
So small, but still makes me proud =*)

The startpage for Firefox, the bottom portion, I got to switch it out with a promo for World Firefox Day.
