*Deal Alert! Polk Audio 10" Subwoofer $90



I have this sub woofer in my living room, and while it isn't as good as the $500+ 10" sub woofers, it far exceeds anything else you can get for $250, and certainly anything you can get for $90.

Solar LED Spotlight set of 3 $35


I just put this in on our berm and it looks amazing! It works because the lights are LED and put out a lot more light with less power. They do have to be placed directly in front (within a couple feet) of whatever you are lighting up to be effective. I lit up our 2 Cypress Boulevard Pom Pom trees, and a couple sandstone rocks. Needs 8 hours of daylight on the solar panel. Lights can be placed up to about 6 feet from the solar panel, and 6 feet from each other. These are generally $20 and up, so 3 quality lights for $35 is a steal.

Boot to Chromium OS from a USB drive

Chromium OS boots extremely quickly and makes Google Chrome your operating system instead of, for example, Windows.  Since this is done from a USB drive, just remove the drive and restart your PC if you want back into Windows like normal.  A 2GB or larger USB drive is required.

Download and extract Win32diskimager.  This works without being installed and is used to write Chromium to your USB drive:
win32diskimager-RELEASE-0.3-r27-binary.zip

Download Chromium OS from this page, use the first USB image download link (it includes drivers and a built in updater):
http://chromeos.hexxeh.net/

You will need to have a program installed like 7zip or winrar; extract the gz file to tar, and the tar file to img.
http://www.7-zip.org/


Then run win32 diskimager and write the Chromium image to your USB.  This will erase all data on the USB.  Now boot your computer (or any) from the USB to use Chromium!

The first time you login you have to use the following credentials
username: facepunch  (@gmail.com will appear automatically, this is fine)
password: facepunch
Once you get connected to the internet, restart and use your regular Google login.

Right now my laptop will not open addresses that start out with https:// in Chromium for some reason, sounds like most people don't have any problems.

Free Android phone app every day on Amazon marketplace

screenshot of my Amazon Android app page
Once you install the Amazon marketplace app on your Android phone you get access to apps you can't get on Android marketplace like Peggle.  Every day there is a free app, such as Peggle or Angry Birds (ad free).  You can "purchase" the free app on your computer, and download it to any Android phone anytime later.  It really is better than the Android marketplace.  Bookmark the free app page and start building your Android app collection for free.
