It includes ring lights, dimmable bi-color stand kits, tripods, background kits, and such. Too many to list here individually…
And of e-reading interest, they have over 80 ebooks in the Kindle daily deals…
Speaking of ebooks, you have until 8/13/21 at 11:59pm eastern time (it is a hard cutoff, no grace period) to claim a FREE (and without DRM) copy (ePUB and/or MOBI) of Lauren Shippen’s “The Infinite Noiseebook”. No, it’s not about digital noise, it’s fiction, something about X-Men type of superpowers but for psychologists or something like that {I haven’t read it} 🙂 This at the TOR website. You have to give them your email and be added to their email list; from which you can unsubscribe later on if you wish; they do have around one free ebook per month and it’s not a very noise emailing list.
And just like that dear friends and enemies, we have reached Hump Day once again! If the earth was flat, would the same days keep returning? Obviously not!

IF you are shopping from the EU, Amazon Germany is having a big AmazonBasics LED Light Bulb sale with two pages of offers, multi-packs of E27 (including Globe-style), E14, GU10, and B12. Most of the offers are the standard E27 size… Check color temperature and connector and power output before buying (as usual)…

If you are planning a big camera(s) or lens(es) purchase or any other purchases (in a single receipt) at B&H, B&H Photo is having a limited time special financing offer. For purchases of $1849 or more, you get 24 months of 0% interest.
You MUST pay the full amount before/by the end of the 24 months. If the amount is not fully paid, you will be charged interest from the purchase date. So do this only if you are certain you can pay it off on time. Minimum monthly payments are required. Another option gives you 24 equal monthly payments, so by the end you’ll have paid the full amount automagically.
There are plenty of FAQS over there that answer questions about the offer. It is not stackable with the PayBoo (B&H refund your sales tax) BUT you can split the payment of order between the two offers with 12-month (or shorter) financing. The amount paid with PayBoo will get the PayBoo benefit (sales tax refund) and the amount paid with the B&H financing promotion will get the financing 0% promotion. Orders with longer than 12-month financing cannot be split-paid.
As usual, use credit wisely and judiciously!

And if you are an Apple user, you will soon receive a bonus self-surveillance OS update. In a shocking twist, just as Apple was converting Android users to iPhone users, many of those tired of Google’s nonchalant and Adsense-y stance towards privacy, they drop this bomb. Needless to say, except for die-hard fanboys, the rest of the internet is ablaze. This is nothing short of a trojan horse to be abused by various regimes and governments and agencies around the world. It’s not like Apple is going to make dramatic principled stands when it comes to that: we already have plenty of examples of Big Tech rolling over to demands from Emperors and Czars all around the world in order to protect their profits…

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]

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 😉
