Apple is holding a number of specials online this Friday.
If you’re looking for an iPod or Mac product for that someone special this year, check the Apple website for great deals this Friday. From Apple:
For ONE DAY ONLY, this Friday November 24th, the Apple Store will have a special Black Friday shopping event. Historically Black Friday has been a big day for us here at The Apple Store – and we want you to join in the fun!
If you’re having trouble finding a rare jar of Fish Sauce this holiday season or maybe buckwheat flour you can either (A) find a better supermarket, or (B) visit: foodsubs.com.
Foodsubs.com gives you substitutions for loads of “special” ingredients.
Check it out.
Oh and by the way, a decent substitute for Fish Sauce is Soy Sauce – but of course you loose all the fishiness.
Lifehacker has put together a great PC Rescue Kit for all of us who tend to spend more than a few hours during the holidays fixing computers for family members – not that there’s anything wrong with that…
Next week here in the U.S. many of us will be heading home to see family, share a turkey feast, watch some football…. and help out our less technically-inclined relatives. The pumpkin pie might not even be on the table before you get that inevitable request: “Can you take a look at my computer? It’s been really slow lately.”
Last year we covered how to how to fix Mom and Dad’s computer when you head home for the holidays. This year, we’ll save you the trouble of chasing down half a dozen PC fix-it tools in the midst of your post-turkey coma. Instead we’ve put together everything you’ll need to right your famliy’s borked computer into one meaty Thanksgiving download.
Introducing Lifehacker’s Thanksgiving PC Rescue Kit
After a large dose of turkey and tryptophan, the last thing you want to do is cruise around the interwebs downloading this, that and the other to get the folks’ PC in order. So we’ve gone ahead and done the work for you. Right-click the following link and choose “Save As:”
Lifehacker’s Thanksgiving PC Rescue Kit (17MB)
This zip file contains half a dozen free tools we recommend to scan and clean and protect a malware-laden PC. Either download right now and save to your thumb drive, or bookmark this page for next week’s tech support session. The entire file is less than 17 megabytes, which will leave room on your USB drive for those Neil Diamond tracks Mom asked you to download for her.
Also, don’t forget to run Windows updater to be sure the system software is up to date and run a scan disk and disk deframenter as well.
And if you really want to have fun, change your parent’s browser from Internet Explorer to Firefox. That might save you some headaches in the future.
What a deal! Check this out…

This reminds me a lot about Austin Street:
download the album for free at: freederekwebb.compoverty is so hard to see
when it’s only on your tv and twenty miles across town
where we’re all living so good
that we moved out of Jesus’ neighborhood
where he’s hungry and not feeling so good
from going through our trash
he says, more than just your cash and coin
i want your time, i want your voice
i want the things you just can’t give meso what must we do
here in the west we want to follow you
we speak the language and we keep all the rules
even a few we made up
come on and follow me
but sell your house, sell your suv
sell your stocks, sell your security
and give it to the poor
what is this, hey what’s the deal
i don’t sleep around and i don’t steal
i want the things you just can’t give mebecause what you do to the least of these
my brother’s, you have done it to me
because i want the things you just can’t give me– Derek Webb
Love this:
Robert Emmitt had seen TV reports of sexual predators preying on teens on MySpace.com, figuring, like many parents, it amounted to a Pandora’s box of danger.
Not something to espouse as the senior pastor of one of the city’s largest congregations, Community Bible Church.
But that was before a 26-year-old techie on his church staff suggested he join the MySpace craze to illustrate a sermon series on setting healthy personal boundaries.
Now Emmitt spends about a half-hour per week swapping messages with the 240-plus cyberspace friends he collected in just four weeks as a MySpace user…
To Kevin Hendricks, chief blogger for Church Marketing Sucks, these Christian alternatives created “yet another Christian ghetto” — just like art, music and books made to respond to secular originals.
“When we as Christians see something cool, we say, ‘Well that involves interaction with the secular world, and that’s scary. It might get dirty and ugly.’ But what happens is you lose this interaction (with the public) if you’re only talking to people in your church.”
Anyone else know of pastor’s using Myspace? What about you? Have you joined the Christian alternative sites or are you sticking with “the original” or are you avoiding it all like the plague?
