CompUSA Closing Stores

I love to shop at CompUSA because they offer a 6 month same as cash credit card for purchases over $199 and sometimes when I make a big purchase I end up with up to 36 months with no interest. And I have always paid the bills off in time so as not to get whacked by a huge bill of all that accumulated interest.

But now CompUSA is closing their doors on 7 stores in MA. And I frequent two of those stores. What am I going to do now? I guess I could switch allegiances to Best Buy because they have the same credit card deals. But I am going to miss CompUSA because they had everything I needed to trick out my computer.

I went to one of the stores yesterday with my father and they are selling off everything in the store. I picked up some paper, tax software and the movie Bottle Rocket. I’ll be posting a review of that movie eventually when I watch it. The point is I got 10% off my purchase and the markdowns are going to continue to fall. You would do well to check this out if you live in MA. You will probably be able to get some good deals.

Blue Gaya

Lately I have posted on many new sites that are using the multi-site browsing Web 2.0 stuff. What does all that mean, why are there so many sites with tons of little images that link out to other sites. Well, they are a way for people to experience as many blogs as they can in one time visually. I just learned about another site, in addition to FuelMyBlog and MyBlogLog and all those sites that have mini images that link to blogs. This latest one is called Blue Gaya and it is fairly new and there are not many people on it at this time, so you have the chance to sign up and get listed prominently for a little while. After that it is up to you to provide good content so that people return to see your site again. I have already submitted my two other blogs, The BenSpark and The Wired Kayaker to Blue Gaya and I should be seeing them listed within 72 hours. Go and check Blue Gaya out along with FuelMyBlog and MyBlogLog and get as much exposure as you can.

I learned about Blue Gaya because I missed the opportunity to write about it for PayPerPost, but when I went to the site I really liked the look of it and wanted to participate. So I thought I would write about the site anyway despite not getting paid for it.
