Upcoming Hiatus (and continuing Holiday deals)

Jon and I will be putting the blog on hiatus until the new year, starting today. What does this mean? Basically, we aren’t planning on posting on a regular basis for the rest of the year. If we have something important, we may throw up a quick post, but mostly we are both busy with year end related stuff (both personally, and on the job).

In a bit of happier news, as was mentioned previously, Amazon did a deals week for the week of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Well, it appears that Amazon has decided to continue the offering of daily deals until December 23, when it will presumably going back to less than a dozen Lightning Deals per day. The URL is the same as provided in the previous article, but here it is again.

Change of Blog Schedule

October 29, 2010

Last month, Jon pointed out that it was necessary for us to change the schedule of the blog and move from posting at 10 AM (Pacific) each day to 3 PM. Well, things haven’t particularly improved, so we are going to revert back to 3 days a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) for some unspecified length of time. In other news, Happy Halloween!

Change of Blog Schedule

For a while now we’ve been posting 5 days a week at 10am. This has worked fairly well for us, but as of late it has gotten a bit sticky. We find ourselves having to “cheat” more often on the times of the posts. As such, John and I have decided to push the posting time from 10am to 3pm (PST). I really liked the idea of posting in the morning and it generally gave me a bit more incentive to get the posts done quickly, but times have changed.

Black Friday Deals

November 24, 2010

Amazon (as has become usual) is currently doing Black Friday Deals Week. As has also become usual, many of the major retailers (and e-tailers) have published information on their “doorbusters” and big ticket items ahead of time.
