Philips 42TA648BX Television Reviews

Right now and WOOT.com get the Philips 42TA648BX Television for $649.99 + $5 shipping. It's a great deal, but is it a good TV. One of the ways I like to research my TVs is go to Amazon.com.

Amazon.com review of the Philips 42TA648BX HDTV:

Amazon .com users give the TV 4 out of 4 stars. The price at Amazon is $1,440.99. Amazon user Fish_On said, "For the price of $750 you will unlikely find a 42" LCD that has as great quality as this Philips! I had a Vizio 32" prior to upgrading and saw a remarkable difference in the picture, sound and overall appearence!!!"

Holiday Bonus’ 2008 Reflection

One of my favorite things about the holidays is getting Christmas Cards from companies that I promote and the occasional gift. This year while other companies were cutting back a very generous company sent me an amazing gift basket. The gift basket included candy, snacks, smoked salmon, caviar, and 2 bottles of wine! The food was delicious and the gesture left a lasting impression. I hope this company sets a trend of things to come!

Beware Fake Apple iPods on eBay

Before you buy a new Apple iPod on eBay beware that it could be a fake. When you think of fakes you might think of similar products that look and function in the same way, but did you know that they make identical knock offs? Please check out this video from Mike Mozart of Jeepers Media on the topic of iPod fakes. The thing that shocked me the most in this video is the U2 Special Edition iPod knock off. This video is a wake up call. I don't think I'll ever buy an iPod from eBay. There's no way to know what you're really getting.

Mamma Mia Worse Than Torture

I literally got dragged kicking and screaming by my GF to see Mamma Mia at one of those discount 2nd run movie theaters last night. I wanted to find something redeeming in Mamma Mia, I really did. Instead I sat there eyes wide open, horrified at what was taking place before my eyes on screen. I tried to dose off, but Mamma Mia being a musical was simply too grating to shut out. At moments I felt as if I was a prisoner of war being subjected to cruel and unusual punishment in the form of psychological torture. The worst part is it's the next day and I still have the god awful Abba songs stuck in my head! Oh... the only redeeming quality I could find in the movie was the lead chick, Amanda Seyfried, is hot... that's it.

Amazon.com Crap at Huge Discounts and I Won!

I never win anything, until yesterday. Amazon.com e-mailed me that I had actually won the Amazon.com customer vote for round 6. I will be going for a KitchenAid Professional Stand Mixer (Licorice) for only $69.00 Reg. $499.00. I ashamed of it, but it’s a fact.. I don’t bake so I don’t have any use for a mixer. May be I’ll give it away on 9malls.com or sell it on Craigslist. Anyone out there need a mixer? There are only 500 units available so there’s still no guarantee I’ll win. I’ll let you know what happens tomorrow. Stay tuned!!!
