Need blank media?

Supermediastore.com is a site that sells every imaginable type of blank media you might need. Well, actually, I did not find any 3.5″, or 5.25″ floppies. But, besides that, I found storage media that I did not even know existed.

They sell MP3 players and media duplicators. I remember driving into Nashville once to pick up a load of music CDs that my company had duplicated. The machine cost thousands of dollars just 7 years ago. With the prices at Super Media Store, today our company could easily buy their own high end duplicator.

Need to store your media? They have DVD and CD storage boxes. You can buy plastic sleeves or paper envelopes and mailers.

SuperMediaStore.com has many flash products as well. Currently they have a special on a 4GB USB flash drive with free shipping for $38.99 as a Father’s Day special. Not a no name either. It is a SanDisk drive.

In need of tonor or ink? They have Canon toner as well as many other brands available.

Check them out and see if they have the media you need for the price you want to pay.

Meade mySKY

Meade mySKYThis new product from Meade allows you to get information about the stars and other celestial bodies simply by pointing the device towards the object.

It works with GPS to get your location and time, then knows where you are pointing the device to display the astronomical information on it’s small screen. Or, you can work the other direction. Pick the heavenly body from a list and tell the device you want to locate it in the sky. The mySKY will instruct you where to point the device which will then give you an idea as to where to look.

This can be used with Meade telescopes which allow for computer interface. Ultimately allowing the mySKY to point your telescope right at the object you are interested in.

With the audio feedback and the visual display, they claim that it is better than having your own personal astronomer standing beside you. Especially with its knowledge of over 30,000 nightsky objects!

It is available for pre-order right now for less than $400 from OpticsPlanet. Check out GearGalaxy for more information about the Meade mySKY as well as other great astronomy gear.

This would have been wonderful to have back 20 years ago when I was on trips with my school principal. He would always take us star gazing and point out interesting objects. No matter how much I tried to study on my own, I never could “one-up” him with my knowledge. Maybe when I see him again next year I will pack one of these out of sight.

PayPerPost Direct

Here is an exciting opportunity for both my readers and me. This comes from the company that I signed up with last week to get paid for blogging, PayPerPost. In fact, I signed up one day and this was released the next day. I did not understand the “cool factor” until now.PPP Direct

What this feature, PayPerPost Direct, allows you to do is to contract me to write posts for you. While there are other services that help facilitate this, what sets PayPerPost Direct apart is that you only pay 10% to PayPerPost and the rest goes into my pocket. Therefore, if we agree to a $15 posting, you pay $16.50 ($15.00 + $1.50) for the post. I get the vast majority of that money, $15 and PayPerPost gets a small amount.

Other services charge as much as 100% markup. A $15 post would cost you $30!

Why would you want to go with a service like this instead of contracting with me directly? Insurance and security. You would know that you are dealing with a company that has a reputation to uphold. You may not know me, but you can know the PayPerPost company. And for me, I know them, but would not feel obligated to get to know you personally before I agreed to a transaction.

To get started simply click on the PayPerPost Direct button to the left or within this post and you will be presented with a form to fill in your information. We will negotiate a price and your requirements to see how we proceed from there. It couldn’t be much simpler.

So I get paid to blog and you get, relatively, inexpensive advertising. Of course you can also hire PayPerPost to do a larger advertising campaign for you.

Abt Electronics

Are you looking for a new place to buy electronics online? Abt Electronics has been in the business of selling electronics for 71 years. Obviously they have not been selling online that long, but they have built a large customer base and seem to be a well established company.

I have found their prices to be very competitive. Look, for example at their hard disc video recorder selection. They have several products available at great prices.

Particularly, I was interested in their digital cameras. They have a great selection of cameras and their tool for narrowing down the list of cameras that fit your budget and features is excellent. You choose the basic features you are interested in along with your maximum price and it will return a list of cameras. If you want to narrow it down further to a few select manufacturers, that is easily done by selecting only the ones you want to see.

They also offer free shipping on many items and have a generous return policy. They will even pay the return shipping on some items.

There are many other electronic categories from which to choose as well as appliances. Take some time and check them out!

HotelReservations.com

Here is a site that offers hotel reservations and discounts. You can put in your destination and dates along with how many people will be staying at the hotel, or how many rooms you need. Then the search results give you two different lists. The first list are the hotels that have discounts available through HotelReservations.com for your stay and the second list gives you the hotels in the area who don’t have special rates, but which you might be interested in knowing.

The interface is straightforward and I was able to easily find hotels in my home town. They also give you information on hotels in the surrounding area.

A short list of amenities can be seen at the results page. Some hotels will have Internet access or complimentary meals. It is easy to see what is available from that initial results screen. When you choose a hotel to get further information, you are presented with more photos of the property as well as extended information about the services available. Area attractions are listed as well along with their distance from the hotel. There is a “5 Star” system that the patrons can use rate a hotel based on their experiences.

Their advertised rates are very reasonable. There is a local hotel with which I have negotiated prices before. HotelReservations.com advertises an even greater rate than I was able to secure when booking 25 rooms! They guarantee that you will not find a lower rate. If you do, they will either refund you the difference or cancel your reservations without charge so that you can book at the lower rate.

One of the great features that I enjoyed about the site is their Destination Guide. You can select the area of the world to which you are traveling and then choose the country. Within the country section you will find information about travel requirements, i.e., whether you need shots or need to apply for a visa prior to your trip. There is a ton of valuable information available within the Destination Guide.

You can book car rentals and complete vacation packages at the site as well.

Don’t want to book on-line? They have toll free numbers in the US, Canada, Australia and several European countries.

Make a Hotel Reservation with them the next time you need to book a hotel.
