![]() : 309 words at 10:53 PM in Geeky Things :: Link :: PingsĪ few weeks ago I blogged that I was coveting ’s special bundle which I went ahead and bought after thinking about it for a day or two. I hope this helps others as much as I bet it’s going to help me! From now on, any items I purchase will be automatically added here so I can keep an eye on their prices. That means that not only is this a great way to watch for any money due you on already purchased items, but it will alert you to any sale prices on items you want to buy. Then, for the next two months you’ll receive an e-mail notifying you of any changes to the item’s price. Sure enough, there’s a site - Amazon Price Watch - that allows you to enter up to four items at a time in a form. However, I was thinking about this tonight, so I figured I ought to do a search first and see if anyone has something like this already made. ![]() I’ve been meaning to see if there’s a way to set up an RSS feed or something to track changes on individual items, but it keeps slipping my mind. I’ve already made about $5.00 this week since Immortal Beloved and Sting’s Songs from the Labyrinth both have dropped in price since I bought them about a week ago. What this means is if price of an item you ordered in the last thirty days goes down, they’ll refund you the difference. While some of you may know that Amazon does a pre-order price guarantee, did you know that they do a post-order price guarantee as well? Most of the stuff that I buy online comes from here and it’s not unusual for me to have several packages delivered from there within a week (I should really buck up and get Amazon Prime, but I hate to pay for shipping). If you’re anything like me, you spend a large chunk of your money at Amazon. ![]() : 306 words at 02:35 AM in Fish Tales :: Link :: Pings Yay for needing to spend like $1,000 on my car. The timing on this sucks even worse since I got hit by some lady a few weeks ago and have a $375 estimate on the work. Maybe Christine’s idea of a new iPod fund for me will take off or something. So, now I need to get the window replaced (1:30 appointment today to do so), buy a new iPod and FM transmitter, and find a new fucking pair of sunglasses which will be impossible since I can never find sunglasses dark enough. I get that it’s a small crime, but shouldn’t they do something about it? ![]() I filed a police report, mentioning that there’s actually blood in the car on the door, the radio, and on the trunk (yeah, they looked through there too), but the cops never even came outside to look at my car, which sort of pissed me off. See that picture of me in the banner? Those are the sunglasses that they took. The iPod is, of course, gone as is my BlackBerry phone charger (WTF?) and, worst of all, my fucking cheap sunglasses that I’ve had for five years or so and love. I look inside and see that the radio is still attached (I guess they couldn’t figure out how to get it off) but everything in my glove compartment has been pulled out - my glove compartment where my iPod was. I finally drag myself up and out the door to go get my eyebrows waxed for the new year and, as I’m approaching my car, I see that my driver’s side window has been smashed and there is glass everywhere. So, it started out with me being hungover from drinking too many frozen screwdrivers at The Front Porch.
