Ready to shop with Nico?

Hello world! I didn't want to leave you hanging by not updating my little blog. I graduated recently and I am taking to time to relax before starting my first real job next month. It's the holidays, man. I want to enjoy it!

I'm not really motivated to go through my RSS feeds which are piling up faster than the world's trash! I'll be back in the New Year. I promise! Till then, I hope you find the deals of the century and fill the stockings of all your loved ones! I might as well take the time and do a major overhaul of this blog, too! That's another thing in my radar. No promises, though!


Happy Holidays and have a good year's end! See you in the New Year! Till then, follow me on twitter to get updates!

Love,

Nico

Wal-Mart is offering gamers a special 2 games for $30 bundle on select games for the Wii and XBox 360. The PS3 bundle seems to have been pulled from the site already. The Wii selection isn't as good as the XBox 360 but there should be something in there for everybody.

Wow. This is a ridiculous bundle. A Wii, three remotes & nunchuks and two games? This is probably the hottest deal I've seen for Black Friday. I don't think we have a Sam's Club here in Montana so this is out of my reach. I also see people lining up the day before for this. I expect this to sell out in a matter of minutes. You snooze, you lose.

My Black Friday will be blacker than most (meaning not good at all) because of where I'm currently living, so please, have a great Black Friday for me! I might actually be saving money on Black Friday! Also, check out this site for Black Friday coverage!

Damn. I've been wrapping my headphones around my iPod like a bondage rope. Get familiar everybody. This is how you do it!

Crackberry.com held a contest recently to see what people would do for a Blackberry Storm. Following on the legendary steps of the Zune Guy, one dude tattooed a Blackberry Storm (the whole thing) on his calf, topped off with the Crackberry logo. I hope he enjoys his new Blackberry Storm for his efforts, he'll have a permanent reminder of his stupidity triumph.

I've been the hunt for an entry level GPS for my car and this seems to be a really good deal for one. I'm still deciding if I want to buy a GPS, so the purchasing department in my mind is still hard at work to convince me to buy it.

This is not a gag! There's a company in France called "Yubz" is going to produce this "headset" for the iPhone for about $50! I don't know how I feel about this. Hmmm. Nahh.

I'm not very political by any means, but America has voted, and Barack Obama has prevailed. I hope he really does enact a lot of the change he is talking about. Check out this picture of Barack's image created on Nanotubes!

Holy Cow. This is a really cool feature. This is just the thing for a cluttered desktop. I'm surprised that Apple hasn't figured this out. Anyways, I'm listing to TWiT right now taking about Windows 7 and I have to say that this next version of windows is really exciting!

Great deal for DS owners. Looks like Amazon is offering DS owners a third game free when they purchase two qualifying games! If you've been holding out on some DS games, this might be great for you!

I forgot to mention that the new aluminum MacBook made it's way to our office a few days after it was announced. I was really surprised at how small the box was compared the previous generation. I know, right? The laptop was really COLD right out of the box as well! The build seemed really solid like they claimed. I didn't really have time to go through it extensively but I liked the way it looked and it ran as smooth as any Mac would. They're packing 1067 Mhz DDR3 memory! Holy Cow. Enough talk. Enjoy the pictures!

Ok. Here's the deal. I love how this commercial has Michael Phelps, Kobe Bryant, Tony Hawk & A-Rod. I DON'T like how they're rocking pink shirts and singing the weirdest song in the world. What are you trying to say, huh? Kobe, get your monkey ass outta this commercial. You're the reigning NBA MVP for christ's sake!

A bunch of guys created a website for iPhone addicts and fanboys to post what they would love to see fixed or introduced into their beloved iPhones. I love my iPhone but it needs a lot more features. Lately, it's been bugging me that my To-Do list in iCal isn't synced with iCal on the iPhone. ARGHHHHH!

Show your frustration. If more and more people lets Jobs know about what the Jesus Phone is missing, he might pay attention!
