MEANwhile Adorama continues to run in Top Deals Mode while the Monday Meh daily deal is a 2-pack of TravelSmart by Conair All-in-One Adapter with USB for $20 plus shipping.

ON the .edu front, the CreativeLIVE ON-AIR front, the headliner free-streamer that started on Monday at 12pm ET is “Lifestyle Newborn Photography – In the Home” with Emily Lucazs, runtime 9 hours and 45 minutes, so it will air twice in full during the free-streaming window.

The “invite-only” deals for Prime members are back at the Amazon USA Gold Box. Me personally I find these type of attempts to generate deal-engagement a little bit 2010s, not 2020s 🙂

NO invites and NO prime memberships are needed for another Kindle-crashing sale, this time the Kindle eBook sale has 485 options!

Also open to all is another iteration of the ANKER charging sale, this time with 13 options of the wall and portable charging and of course cables.

Speaking of cables, I would do not want to be Lightning cable seller right now! OUCH!

It just dawned on me, when we say “baby photography” do we mean teach the baby about photography, or photographing the baby, or both?

Which brings us to the headliner Creative LIVE ON-AIR free-to-watch class, starting on Sunday at 12pm ET, “Baby Plans: Photographing the Early Years” with Julia Kelleher, with a runtime of 14 hours and 19 minutes, so it will only stream once during the free-streaming window.

More name-brand products have been added to the rotation at the Adorama Top Deals, while the B&H dailies, because of a holiday, remain the same.

AND IF YOU want to crash your Kindle, Sunday usually has more ebooks on offer at Amazon, the Sunday sale includes Andy Weir (of Matt Damon’s potato fame), Blake Crouch, Hyperion and other scifi classics, Alice Walker, Strange and Norrrelll, James Herrriottt, Joan Didion, U. Eco, Carl Sagan, and lots more!

The Saturday 9/16/23 MEH daily deal is a 2-pack of Bell + Howell TriBurst Pro Triple-Panel LED Light going for $25 plus shipping [free for paying MEH-mbers]. And they screw in a standard socket! Brightness is 5500 lumen(s).

They sell for twice as much at Amazon where they average 4.5 out of 5 on 9300+ customer ratings.

NEXT UP, at the Adorama Top Deals, among the headliners it’s a 3Pod 2-in-1 Arca Swiss Quick Release Plate going for $15.

ON THE e-Learning front, starting on Saturday at 12pm ET, at the Creative LIVE ON-AiR there’s the almost 7 hour long “Lifestyle Family Photography” with Emily Lucarz.

DUE TO a holiday closing, the previously mentioned B&H dailies run until Sunday at 11:59pm ET.

AND IF YOU want to crash your Kindle e-reader, over 2000 ebooks are participating in the Monthly Kindle Deals…

FINALLY at the CreativeLIVE ON-AiR, the headliner is the 10 hour and 21 minute class by the Kudishes, “The Wedding Story: Capture Creative and Authentic Photos”.

Me personally I would invest in a hot new trend, “Divorce Photography” 🙂

Today is Thursday September 7 in 2023 [double-checked the date!] and it is Day #2, and the last day, of the B&H Photo 50 Year “BILD Expo” celebrations and saleabrations!

On the celebrations front, the first day live-stream ran for nearly 9 hours and you can rewatch it at the B&H YouTube. Day #2 will feature many guest speakers including Brooke Shaden, Scott Kelby [of course!], Frans Lanting, Lindsay Adler and more!

On the sale-a-brations front, the 280+ B&H daily deals continue as yesterday, with the addition of a flash deal:

+ Creality K1 Speedy 3D Printer for $449

BUT WAIT, there’s more! There’s also the dedicated BILD Trade Show offerings, which are too many for me to list here individually, so be sure to check them out if interested!

Today is indeed Wednesday September 6 in 2023 [#factchecked], and it is indeed day #1 of the 2-day B&H 50-Year Anniversary BILD Expo!

To sale-a-brate this, B&H Photo has all kinds of BILD Trade Show offerings but that’s not all!

The B&H Photo daily deals (aka their “Deal Zone”) has gone WILD with BILD offerings!

ON THE LEARNINGS front, the headliner free-to-watch Creative LIVE ON-AIR class starting on Wednesday at 12pm eastern is “Posing 101: Couples, Weddings and Families” with well-known photographer Lindsay Adler, total runtime 5 hours and 24 hours, so it should repeat about 4 times throughout the free streaming window.

PS: for those not familiar, the free-streaming classes are like the old days of over-the-air TV – you can’t pause/rewind/etc/etc.

TIMELINE CORRECTION: the date is 5, not 6, the BILD 2-day Expo starts on Wednesday! So today is Day #0, not Day #1. As regular readers of this blog know, we are frequently unstuck in time because we don’t have a proper sonic screwdriver!

Today is Day #0 of the B&H 50 Year Anniversary BILD Expo sale-a-bration with a variety of offerings, too many to list here individually.

But we also have the regularly scheduled B&H Photo daily deals, only six in number, much easier to list here individually:
