Black Friday Deal - 1GB Sandisk Micro USB Flash Drive

Lots of deals this past Black Friday. Nothing I wanted except for a USB flash drive. The 42 inch Panasonic Plasma for $999 at Best Buy was a good deal though. Anyways, I got the Sandisk 1GB Micro USB Flash drive for cheap. Too bad I had to wake up at 6am to buy it online at Staples. Staples Easy Rebates are the best. No need to submit the receipt and the upc code. Everything is done online. This is how all rebates should be done.

$39.98 - $25 (instant coupon) - $7 (easy rebate) + tax = $9.

The Perfect Laptop Mouse

My pursuit of finding the perfect laptop mouse has ended. But before I tell you which mouse it is, let me give you some history.

A couple of years ago, I wanted a mouse for my Dell 700m laptop. My laptop is very small and has 12 inch screen. So I wanted a very small mouse to match. It would look ugly with a regular size mouse.

I found the Kensington Mini USB pocketmouse. I chose it because it connected via USB, it had a retractable cord, and it was extremely small.


Then came wireless usb mice. No wires...cool. But with wireless mice, you need to bring 2 things along, the mouse and the usb adapter. Thats just silly. Why do I want to bring more things along. So I got a mouse that had the usb adapter that seamlessly fit inside the mouse. COOL!


Then I started thinking to myself. I still have to carry both my laptop and mouse separately. Wouldnt it be cool to have a PCMCIA mouse, that way the mouse is always inside the laptop? Low and behold came the PCMCIA mouse. And last but not least, the ultimate laptop mouse. A bluetooth, PCMCIA mouse. Why is it cool?

1. No usb connection whatsover
2. No batteries needed because it charges inside the laptop.
3. No need to carry it around since its stored inside the laptop.
4. No wires.

Nuff said. Stop drooling. Introducing the Bluetooth MoGo Mouse:


Too bad I dont have internal bluetooth on my laptop :(
