Deal A Day

Since everyone seems to be concerned about saving money and getting “deals” it’s inevitable that I end up looking at more “deal” sites …

One that has been around for several years is iBOOD (Internet’s Best Online Offer Daily).

Every day they have a different offer on a single product.

What kind of products do they offer?

They all seem to be electronics of some kind and vary from digital cameras to 40″ LCD tvs with huge discounts (most seem to be 50% off or more)

While I haven’t bought anything from them as yet, anyone who has was happy with the delivery times etc., so it seems to work well

Bidding Can Be Fun

bidrivals-screenshot.png
The idea behind BidRivals isn’t that complicated.

They sell electronics, such as Sony Playstation 3, at a fraction of their normal retail price. How? By making it into an auction.

When the clock stops whoever has the bid wins.

Not that complicated really.

You can get more details on how the process works on their site.

While obviously winning isn’t that easy I’d view it as a good chance to get a high value item for a fraction of its retail price PLUS it’s saner option than a normal betting site…

Tours of Dublin in Spanish

Tours of Dublin in SpanishAll too often English speakers forget that they are not the only people on the face of the planet. It’s all too easy to forget that there are other language groups out there and that they too have money to spend!

So when I came across Dublin en Español I was very impressed! This is the kind of service that we should see more of. Spanish is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world and providing services to Spanish speakers in their native tongue makes sense.

The company offers a variety of tours of Dublin city in Spanish (thence the name!)

More details on their site

KidareStreet – Bringing Access To Government A Step Further

Leinster House, home of the Ireland's parliame...

Image via Wikipedia

Successive Irish governments have talked about “initiatives” to encourage “egovernment”. Some of the work they’ve done has been pretty good, but a lot of it wasn’t exactly stellar.

So it’s great to see that a totally independent, citizen volunteer project like Kildare Street has not only managed to give us, the people, access to Dail (parliament) transcripts, but also allows to pass comments, get alerts and so much more.

Kildare Street is the brainchild of John Handelaar and is based on similar project in the UK.

John’s announcement explains it all:

Since 20th January 2004, the Dáil has been in session for 493 days (including today).

Up until this morning TDs made 249,489 speeches, and asked 160,503 questions which received written responses.

On average, TDs are producing 507 speeches and 326 written answers per sitting day.

And Handelaar’s site has now made all of that content accessible and searchable.

Now that is cool!

MacHeist Combines Great Software With Philanthropy

macheist 3 software bundleAs a Mac user you get to hear about “cool software” for the Mac all the time. However not all software is as cool or as accessible as others.

What the guys at MacHeist have managed to do, however, is to combine software package deals with a philanthropy to make for a winning combination.

MacHeist run an offer a couple of times a year where you can get several hundred dollars worth of software for less than $50 (the latest bundle is $39).

What makes the deal even more interesting is that 25% of all sales revenue goes to a number of charities

The latest “heist” has so far sold over 43 thousand bundles and raised over $403 thousand for charity!

If you’re a Mac user or know someone who is then this makes for a wonderful gift
