Looks like Sandbox will not be acquired by Sportsline after all. The lack of updates this week makes me think they may be shutting down for good. The battery life on the Mini-Yepp (YP-20S) ain’t pretty. Seems to last considerably longer if I pull out the battery when I’m not using it. CVNS rising lately … …
Finally picked up the new Samsung Mini Yepp from J&R. Very cool…
Good thing I redeemed my ClickRewards miles for OnePass several months ago. Got a note a few days ago that they have filed for Chap 11 bankruptcy. Utter ridiculousness.
Continental 55% off fare sale ends today. Check it out.
Cool. Nearby multiplex has matinees as well… Scramble to Avoid Blackouts as Record Heat Wilts Region: Houston summers have nothing on New York. This is ridiculous.
The Sanyo SCP-6000 is probably the closest phone to the ones I have seen in Japan. A little bit on the pricy side ($300) but looks great. Speaking of cell phones, here is an old but nonetheless amusing site.
CSCO put was a good call. Too bad I chickened out. HOMS looks like it is finally starting its long-overdue tanking. Good night! Instead of requiring one to mail in receipts, etc. to claim a rebate, Rite Aid allows customers to enter receipt data online which is reconciled with its store data. Cool.

Too darned hot to wait it out… Ex-49er Jerry Rice makes appearances at K-mart this Friday and Saturday to promote his Playmakers snacks.
The NY Times offers 50% off regular rates for home subscription but will allow you to renew at 1/3 off. Looks like you can renew at this rate indefinitely (every 12-13 weeks, that is), but if you just ask them to extend your promo rate, they will almost certainly give you some mumbo-jumbo about why … …
Museum Mile Festival is today. Free admission to various museums along Fifth Ave. Cool.
