Mom, A.K.A “Bonus Hunter”
When trying to raise a family, especially a fairly large family, any little discount helps. As parents, we clip coupons, shop on the clearance rack, and generally keep an eye open for opportunities to save money, all so that we can give our children the best possible childhood. Perhaps that’s why, when I read a recent article Online about “bonus hunters” (people who hunt down the best online casino bonuses to make extra money), I felt the light of a kindred spirit spring into being. Therefore, I decided to investigate these bonus hunters, and online casino bonuses, a little more thoroughly.
The Prey:
After a quick Google search, it rapidly became apparent that there are several Websites devoted to helping people find the latest casino bonuses. 
It also became obvious that there are several different types of bonuses and that not all of them were created equally. Some bonuses gave “credits” for playing specific games, which could be turned in for cash. However, the conversion rate was not very high (100 credits for $1 is not unusual) and you only got 1-3 credits per hand so that it seemed impossible that self-respecting bonus hunters should pursue this type of bonus. After all, although a 1-3% discount for playing their game is a nice gesture, you still probably won’t actually make money from it.
Improve Education Through Innovation
With our generation today, almost everything is expected to be advanced, electronic, automatic or machine operated. With the vast evolution of technology, most people are looking forward for instant solutions and faster applications that will help make a certain job easier and simpler. Even kids nowadays are used to gadgets like the most popular PSP, Nintendo DS, Wii, Xbox and other entertainment devices and that’s why as they grow up, technologies are expected to be more innovative.
But with our various technological innovations today, we can say that the most powerful and most useful is the Internet. This has been the most common technology used all over the globe because it really has a lot of benefits from entertainment, communication and even with education.
Furthermore, there is a new method developed today that uses Internet as the main tool in developing the standard of education. It gives focus on the learning management system and it is very beneficial especially to those who are very eager to study but can’t literally go to school because of schedule conflicts or they don’t have enough time or probably they are physically impaired or disabled that they can’t manage to travel. But with the help of cyberspace, people can now enroll and choose the best course that fits their interest and capabilities.
Learning management system is a web-based program that focuses on the developments and effectiveness of any organization whether it’s an IT company, banking and finance and even media corporation and of course education. Usually, businesses or companies that hosted lsm receive a lot of benefits for the training department when it comes to managing and leading the entire team. This helps them in the delivery and development of appropriate training and leadership in many ways possible. Read more
High Tech
Funny how Sandy loves to Google just about anything. I always make sure that I watch what she does online especially on Youtube as you never know what she could click. Anyway, I saw that she was Googling Garmin GPS and when I asked her why, she told me she heard about GPS from her classmate’s dad. Such a curious little lady! There are also searches on different continents and this last one which proves how girly girl she is – barbie musketeers. Even on her iTouch, she loves searching for things whether via App Store for new free games or in Safari for images of her favorite cartoon characters. I was worried as well that she may not like to read books anymore now that she found a way to learn things using the Internet. But I see that she still likes reading stories and just uses the computer because it’s fun.
Upgraded
I wanted to shop online for htc desire hd because of the huge discount that I found but it turned out that my credit card company is not accepted. After feeling disappointed for a few minutes, I admit I was relieved because the Husband decided to have an iPhone instead. It was a good thing that the purchase didn’t go through. As soon as he told me that he prefers an iPhone, even a second-hand one, an online friend tweeted that she’s selling her barely one-year-old 3GS for a very good price. We immediately grabbed it so the Husband is now a proud iPhone owner. He never really cared about high-end phones before but when he realized how convenient it is to email, watch YouTube, Facebook or Flickr on my phone, he got hooked!
Point and Shoot Lovers
I can’t have enough of digital cameras! I’m currently looking for a cheap Panasonic LX3 or LX5 but first, I need to dispose my fairly new point and shoot, Canon iXus 80. Let me know if any of you are interested. It has motion and face detection technology, 18 shooting modes, 8MP and uses DIGIC III Image processor, the ones used in DSLRs. You can read about it here. It’s rarely used, just as a backup when we are too lazy to bring the Husband’s 40D.
Desire
For the past four weeks, I saw three friends raving about htc desire hd. My curiosity was piqued so I checked it out myself. After reading the reviews and seeing the photos, I must admit I’d go for it if only I wasn’t happy with my iPhone. The first time I saw Serena and Blair using a blackberry during Gossip Girls’ first season, I swore I want to have one too. Love how you can type with both hands especially for me who loves to chat and email. But there are so many phones right now that lets you do the same thing. It’s up to you to choose which one you’ll be comfortable with. For me, it’s my iPhone but if HTC Desire is as sensitive to the touch as the iPhone, then it’s definitely a great alternative. After getting used to iPhone’s capacitive touchscreen, I haven’t seen any contender that will make me choose otherwise.
Tech Jobs Everywhere
I’m so happy to see that there are so many tech jobs online. Back when I was starting to work, online job sites like this doesn’t exist at all. Which is why I think newly graduates are so lucky because of this technology. You can even conduct interviews online using Skype! It’s very convenient and a huge plus since most newly grads don’t have money to spare for transportation and food. Personally, I like the idea being interviewed online. That way, you won’t waste each other’s time if it turns out that the candidate doesn’t fit the criteria after all.
Goal – A New Machine
Geez. I forgot to check the Cyber Monday deals last week. I heard from a friend that they had a lot of Macbooks on sale and some really nice boots from Steve Madden. I wonder when I will ever be able to purchase my first mac? Whenever I start a budget, I get excited and almost delirious from too much wanting. But as soon as I am $100-$150 short, something really cool comes up. Like a great deal on iPhone, Camera, furniture or a travel package that’s just too good to be true. Next year, I vow to get my Macbook Pro by hook or by crook. I only have a few months left before they release the new MBPs so I should start saving all those sideline earnings again.
Cig Option
For those who want to try out the electronic cigarette, I saw some being sold for $59.95 at the smoketip store. It’s a great gift for the modern smokers. The smokeless design lets you smoke without worry in public places. It releases vaporized nicotine automatically and has large selection of flavors including menthol. According to the website, it’s more affordable compared to traditional tobacco cigarettes. And the fact that you don’t have to inhale smoke and tar makes it a healthier option.
Too Expensive For Kids
It seems every little boy I know has a psp these days. Kids are so lucky they can have toys that are as expensive as my previous mobile phone! I was close to buying Sandy her own psp too when I saw how she enjoys playing with her uncle’s. But then I realize at the last minute that it’s too pricey for a kid her age. She was only four at the time, after all. Also, whenever the Husband wants something for the same price, we discuss and compute our budget before we decide if we’ll even buy it. But when it comes to Sandy, all reasoning goes out of the window. Luckily, I was able to restrain myself. And I know I did the right thing after reading this article on how we should help the kids to maximize their creativity by giving them toys where they can pretend, build and think.
