Here’s a nice list of Amazon Coupon Codes – new for 2008. Get $5, $10, $15 off or more on lots of food products — beverages, snacks, Kashi, SlimFast, and more.
Sadly, purchasing these products do not help Lindsay’s college fund (you can always do that by shopping from the Amazon search box at the top right 😉 ) — but they’ll still save you some scratch!
With less than 36 hours to go till Steve Jobs’ MacWorld Keynote, now is probably a good time to help Steve prepare for his next big presentation in this surprisingly detailed Flash game.
Sometimes I forget how funny SCTV was…
“A small vice-like object?” LOL
Huh?
Anyway, it’s Flash Friday. Test your geography skills with this fun game. Get the locations on the map as close as you can, as quickly as you can.
Thanks, Dad!
Philly’s brand new mayor, Michael Nutter, is certainly putting on an inaugural celebration this week, including this (actually pretty good) performance of Rapper’s Delight.
My wife and I were recently discussing Frances Bean, child of Kurt Cobain (Nirvana) & Courtney Love (Hole, general skankery). Today, I came across this article — via Truemors — which suggests that this now 15-year-old (15!) might become the new face of Chanel.
Frankly, she looks much more like an average high school kid, kind of a ‘husky gal’, and not a model at all. Shouldn’t this girl just go to school and try to have as much of a normal life as she can, given her ancestry?!
Get Rich Slowly offers a mostly-common-sense-but-still-informative article for making the most of your money in the new year.
Of the tips offered, I would emphasize maxing out your Retirement Savings now. As in right now. As in a tomorrow morning trip to HR. The sooner you start saving, the exponential advantage you’ll have in creating your (ideally at least) million dollar nest egg. Don’t think you can just “save a little now and put away more later”, ’cause brother, you’re in for a shock. And if your company offers matching contributions — otherwise known as free G.D. money — say “Yes, please.”
Along similar lines, the Automate Your Finances section says it best: “When you make things automatic, you remove the human element, making it more difficult for you to mess things up.“
If you’re able, keep enough money in your checking account to pay utilities automatically online. Save the hassle, the time and the stamps (money). Also, this helps you to avoid making late payments, which by default will help your credit.
And save automatically as well! Just about every bank now has a web site to help you manage your money. Set up automatic transfers to move $50, $100, or whatever amount you can afford into your Savings Account or (preferably) Money Market account every month. Pay yourself first. Save without thinking. Enjoy the wonders of compound interest.

Did Santa bring you a new iPhone or iPod Touch for Christmas? (You must have really been good last year) If so, it’s now easier than ever to keep up with your favourite sites — including, naturally!, Sean-O.com.
The recent redesign of the site (didja notice?) looks great as-is in Mobile Safari. (Double-tapping on any post header will zoom in on the main content) Or, if you prefer to just scroll through the headlines and snippets of stories on my RSS feed, add this link to your Favorites.
Mouth eyes? Yes, mouth eyes.
Check out these photos — at times creepy, hilarious, or surprisingly normal-seeming at first glance.
