Going to work on time!

Watching all the trailer trash fight for a couple of pieces of electronics.

(That includes higher forms of life without a life)

Good Times.......:D

I'm pretty happy. I've got a Mac, an iPhone, and a camera/camcorder. Life is good from a nerd-toy perspective.

Wife and I will be in Wyoming visiting family. There aren't any real stores within 2-hours driving, much less decent internet access.

Doesn't matter, I never partake in BF deals anyway. Saving some $$$ on shit isn't worth standing in line at 4am, to me.

Sometimes its worth it at least a few years ago it was at Frys. Last years ad was a dud though. I know a lot of sheep still waited in line.

I used to get up for BF deals, and got tired of falling victim, every year, to what were essentially bait and switch practices. Stores would have like 3 or 4 of whatever item I want at a great deal. When they immediately sell out there's a stack of alternatives on a display 5 feet away, at full retail price or barely discounted.

And shopping in such a chaotic atmosphere is my idea of hell.

Keeping an eye out on Steam game deals. Didn't they have like everything 70% off last year? Or am I thinking of something else?

This sounds completely pathetic. But major kitchen appliances. I need a dishwasher but also want to go stainless through the whole thing. Microwave, Gas Stove, and Refridgerator.

Do your homework on this one. Stainless steel can be a serious b!tch to clean grease and fingerprints out of etc, sometimes seeming impossible, particularly for the non-high end products. Black shows everything too, but atleast it can be cleaned.

possibly a netbook if they're really $150

I haven't looked at any ads, but a decent netbook at this price could put me in line. Woot often has netbooks for around this price (900mhz iirc, possibly refurbs tho)

I do all of my BF shopping at home at 4am, sleep until noon and casually stroll into the stores to pick up my crap. Its not worth spending 8-12 hours out in the cold/snow to save $300 on a TV

Depends how much your time is worth.
