Find a great deal on a Canon D480 Printer/Fax

February 23rd 2010 Posted at Technology, Thought of the Day

The Canon imageClass D480 is a great investment for any small business or group area needing copying, faxing and scanning capabilities.
I found an believable sale on the Canon Mutlifunction Laser Printer at buy.com for less than $300. This is almost $1200 off the retail and they were offering free shipping as of this post. With 23 PPM printing and copying the overall operating cost of a laser printer as compared to your inkjet printer is about a tenth of the total operating cost. This would make a great all in one system for my new home office.

Fashion at the Prom

So you are thinking about going to prom and not sure where to start. This past year Duck Brand duct tape sponsored a scholarship award for the high school couple who sent in the most creative prom attire made entirely of Duct Tape. We saw some the entries and they were quite impressive. Think of the advantages: They are stain proof, so have that Lasagna, don’t worry if you spill it won’t stain. If there happens to be a tear, just Duct It. Since duct tape is relatively inexpensive, you can spend the extra money on the stretch Hummer limo with the jacuzzi in the back. I am sure her dad would love to see that roll up in the driveway.

But if duct tape for you and your date sounds a little stiff, then finding the best prom dresses are just a click away.Â With buying guides on different styles you are sure not to get stuck with just any ordinary prom dress. Go to Talkpromdresses.com to find your perfect dress for your high school prom.

Getting a Philips LCD TV for a great price

if you are like most people who took advantage of the great deals on Philips 42 inch TV’s during the Super Bowl sale then you may be kicking yourself if you did not grab one of those deals. The question that you may be asking is should I look to get a plasma or LCD HDTV? The pictures on both are exceptional and really depends on the users set up and preference. There are some advantages to the LCD technology that make it some what attractive. That would be the life of the actual picture, truer blacks, and less chance of burn in. You can find horror stories all over the internet where people left a static image on their plasma screens and they had the image burned into the screen. Whichever technology you choose do not cut corners on the cables. Buying the right HDMI cable can make a huge difference in the picture quality. Do not just hook up your new HD TV with a standard RCA or even S-Video cable. You will not like what you see. Also, remember to do your research online as the cables sold in the store are going to cost more.

Right now you can refurbished models on sale that are approx. 30-50% off their retail price and gives you more Tv for the money. The Olympics are now under way and being broadcast in HD and with the baseball season starting their spring games now is the time to take advantage of those TV’s that have been factory re-certified and get a great deal. We would love to add another 47″ HDTV for our bedroom and just have not found the right set and the right price. I would love to get one of these sets for Fathers Day just in time for the Summer sports and just ahead of the 2010 NFL season where I hope that the Saints are able to make it back to the big game.

Sleeping well on vacation

I like the grey hound races and there is a track located next to the Daytona race car track. I always make it a point to make at least one trip to the dog track when I go to vacation in Florida. I have even thought about over the counter sleep aids so that I can be well rested for the next day because it always seems that I do not sleep well in a hotel. Daytona also has all the things to do on the Atlantic Ocean and beach. You can drive your cars on the beaches around the Daytona area. You will also find lots of great places to eat at in Daytona. I really like to find the seafood restaurants, but the Daytona restaurants are all great places to eat and you will not starve while visiting Daytona.

Get your blog listed

I don’t have anything ground-breaking to share and most advice isn’t ground breaking. It’s focusing on 1 or 2 little things that can make all the difference in the world. I have a process that I will refer to as MOVE. Earning money online is not much different from a regular job and you need to put EFFORT and time in it, just like you would a typical 9-to-5 job that has a 40 hour work week. Try to do a little something every day toward your online earnings or marketing practices. So you really need the EFFORT and that is where I get the E at in MOVE. Using directory submission sites to help expand and grow traffic to your site is a good step. The MO would be MIND OPEN or OPEN MINDED and this just simply means that you’re willing to try something new. Sometimes we talk too much or we are too quick to shoot someone else’s idea down and we never give it a chance to work for us. Try to keep an open mind and even if something doesn’t sound like it would help, you will still want to make a mental note or even give it a small try.

Therefore I do not tend to spend a long time each day looking at my face in the mirror. There have been times when I looked for eczema treatment to help my dry skin and hoped it would clear up my symptoms.

Go green with your PC backup

External backup hard drives have become an essential part of any PC with all the digital photography and digital movies that people are now storing on their PCs. With the push to more online digital content and movie theaters now more actively promoting and working with companies like NetFlix in order to sell digital downloads you need additional storage capacity. What makes the USB storage devices like the Fanton GreenDrive eSATA 2 TB drive you can store your movies and then have them available to take with you to a friends home or on the road. Because these devices are now wo compact and they carry and amazing amount of files they are a great addition to any home media PC.

I am amazed at the amount of backup storage that is now readily available to consumers at the click of a button. The backup solutions that are now offered by Fantom Greendrive include a 2TB eSATA drive have taken it a step further by reducing the power consumption that these devices use. It is estimated that they can save as much as Co2 as you would you save by taking your car off the road for 14 days. These new green devices are on sale for under $160 at buy.com and this is something that I would definitely love to have in addition to our multimedia PC. Plus the fact that when you compare the cost and ease of use of these USB drives anyone can simply plug and save that has very little technical knowledge. So go Green this year when you are considering the next addition to your home PC.
