Sam’s Club

The wife and I were tripping through one of the local Sam’s Club’s last night, and as usual, I decided to skip over to the computer area and see what they had going on. (Especially in light of the fact that a certain holiday is coming up and I need to start looking for gift suggestions for folks to get me.) I noticed that they had a few items where you pick up the little piece of paper with the product id, description and price on it and take it to the check out and then they’ll go get the actual merchandise for you. Except there was one item where they were out of little tags and so I wasn’t even sure how much the item was, although my theory that they were out of tags because the item was very well-priced compared to normal pricing was borne out when I took a look at their website this morning. How about a Western Digital 120GB USB 2.0 external HD for $179.83. Considering that the last time I went looking for this type of an item I spotted a 40GB for around $150, this doesn’t seem like a bad deal at all.

Update: Oh yeah, my wife’s comment reminds me about the other odd thing at Sam’s, but since it didn’t involve any technology, I completely forgot about it! She, being a complete sucker for all things Christmas, decided that we needed to stroll through the display of Christmasy-type stuff. As we strolled through we came upon a very nice manger scene complete with all the characters from said scene, Joseph, the wise men, the animals, Mary holding the…

Wha??!? Mary holding nothing? Someone stole the baby Jesus from the manger scene!

    I didn’t realize how much of my time would be spent this week resetting passwords. Not network passwords, passwords to the Postini email quarantines.

    I’ve been trying to get the RecipRoll from blogrolling.com to go into the table in place of the Gnomedex roll, since Gnomedex is sort of old news. But the RecipRoll, because it uses actual URLs, is a little too long to fit without changing the width of the tables to accomodate it. Not cool! I…

    This should be about the last blog entry before we take off for Boston.

    Yeah, for whatever reason going back to work today after the three day weekend was more of a drag than usual. Not that anything too major went wrong, it was just one of those days where everything seemed to be just a little “off”. No matter how had I tried, I just couldn’t muster the…
