Where does he get those wonderful toys….

10 Comments

I am a gadget junkie and I hate paying too much for my tech. So when I can I look for the most economical ways to support my tech junkie habit. One of those those ways is to look for some of the best tech deals out there. However, in this fast paced world you have to be able to make split second choices and have up to the minute information in order to get the best deals. But you also have to be able to weed out the junk. If I am looking for the best deal on an SD card I don’t want to have information about the XBox coming my way. I want to get the alerts that make the most sense to me and help streamline my bargain shopping experience.

Enter Tech Bargains.com. This site has the latest and greatest discounts, deals and tech bargains that the Internet has to offer. The information that they cull and send your way is very useful and can be sent directly to you in many different fashions. For instance if you work online all day long like I do then you might enjoy getting deals sent to your e-mail. If you are working on the road but have a web enabled phone then the tech bargains can be sent to you via mobile web pages or mobile RSS feeds. Heck I bet I could buy the next Wired Kayaker video camera while sitting in my kayak.

With TechBargains.com you are in control of the information that is sent to you. You customize your alerts for coupons, deals and even rebates. You can also sign up for e-newsletters. Navigating the site is very easy and if you are looking on any page and you suddenly decide that you want to search for a particular item you can right then and there because there is a search tab on each page.

Flying over the water…

I was reading on Gizmodo about a flying watercraft. It looks like a hovercraft with wings and instead of riding a cushion of air like hovercraft’s do it actually flies above the water at 1.5 meters. However it is still not classified as a flying machine because even though it looks like it is not riding on a cushion of air it really is. It is just a larger cushion.

The inventor is Rudy Heeman, a mechanic from New Zealand who has spent 11 years building the hoverwing. He’s taken it on a test flight across the water and it did end in a crash landing. The vehicle is not complete yet and it will be soon. Once it is complete he is going to take a passenger along for the ride. I think he should do a contest to see who would like to ride with him. I’d love to do it.
