A Scattered Round-Up of Daily Deals (of sorts)
We now have a scattered round-up of various daily deals and expiring-soons 🙂
We start with the Adorama daily deal (changes Sunday 10am ET) where you can get the new condition Flashpoint M1 Mini Mobile Phone Flash (A1 Mini) for $15 with free US shipping…
Then at DiscountMAGS we go where the weekend sale theme (ends Monday night actually) is $5 per magazines per year. No camera/photo magazine but there are a few [not a lot like usual] “six degrees of separation” plus a little bit of an A/V theme under “Tech” (Stereophile and Sound-n-Vision [no, not the David Bowie box set])…
Good until August 1st, there’s an automatic in-cart sitewide 20% off discount with free US shipping at the RX Bar online shop. You see the regular price, then add the item(s) of interest to the shopping cart, and the 20% off discount appears there in the shopping cart. Note that some items have “natural flavors”. Note also that they recently expanded their product line-up and some of their new “nut butter packs” look like the RXbars on the flattened screen, so be sure you are buying the RXbars and not the nut-butter-packs [if that’s what you want]… I’ve eaten hundreds of Rxbars and look at where I am [this reads more like an anti-endorsement LOL]. My favorites in no particular order Maple Sea Salt, Dark Chocolate, and Coconut Chocolate… If you are new to this, try the Variety Packs… I haven’t tried any of their “breakfasty” stuff, so I can’t tell you anything about them [let’s not forget that cereal was invented as an anti-viagra way back; are you sure you want to be eating that? LOL {and that’s before we consider GMO, empty refined blood-sugar-spiking carbs, not-really-natural natural flavors, food colorings, food glueware, and other yucky things]
Is this turning into a Foodie Blog? Probably not 🙂 Is it getting more random and out of control? Probably yes 🙂
Then at the Saturday Woot daily deals we go where the headliner is a MacBook/MacMini sale ($520 to $1400), and there’s refurbished iMacs ($350 to $650), Birkenstocks for the corporate hippies, and more 😉

Then to the Saturday NewEGG dailies we go where we find a Samsung internal SSD, 12TB Seagate Expansion for $260 AC, LG TV, RAM, car digital meter, and all sorts of other techie thingies…
The Saturday Amazon USA Gold Box has more of a house theme, with offers on Echo Buds, Toshiba Smart Fire TV, under-the-desk elliptical, and more…

Blog PSA: Feedburner Email Subscriptions Going Away!
We have a blog PSA alert! Google is changing Feedburner, the webservice we (and a lot of the internet) is using to create and manage the RSS of this blog.
Google is changing Feedburner, and in doing so, all non-core features are going away. One of the features that is going away is the RSS by email service.
If you are subscribed to this blog with Feedburner by email, through Feedburner, by mid-August, this service will NO LONGER WORK. The exact cut-off time is not known, and may float a little bit…
I will NOT be transferring the email subscriber list to any other service.
If you wish to have RSS via email, you must needs take action on your own. I am a few years behind on the latest RSS-related web services, so I have no clue which service(s) to recommend. If you use any and would like to recommend them, please leave them in the comments below…
For the last few years this blog has been running as a hobby ~ or mayhaps I’m just too stubborn to shut it down 😉 Transitioning to one of the professional email services (they have monthly fees) is out of the question. I do not dare calculate costs (web hosting fees, etc) VS revenue (affiliate advertising income), because I’m afraid I may discover that it’s actually losing money ~ and that’s before you factor in the hours spent on this every year 🙂
PS: this affects A LOT of websites, not just this blog. If you are subscribed to RSS by email for other websites, check if they have any alternatives or take action on your own…
PS2: if you are subscribed to regular Feedburner RSS through an RSS reader or RSS-like app, this should continue as usual. But as with any major web-related service transition (Google changing the Feedburner backend and infrastructure), there might be some unexpected temporary bumps on the road. The famous known unknowns 😉

PRO TIP on Samsung Galaxy phones: if you are planning to use many of the extra features Samsung loads on the phone, it may be a good idea to buy a higher-spec phone that you would normally use (eg if you had been buying a stock-like Android phone). While you may not find a lot of their extra features useful, they do have a lot of useful features that need memory and processing power (Secure Folder, Edge Panels, S-Pens, three tier lock-screens (including the always-on-display), etc). Of course the list of what one finds useful varies by person, which is why Samsung loads it up with hundreds of extras 🙂 The last time I got a new Galaxy phone, when I did the initial system update, it had over 400 (!!!) apps pre-installed. LOL. So much for going away from the TouchWiz overstuffing 🙂
