If you haven’t noticed, I’ve been a bit absent from the blog, recently. I’ve been working some heroic hours in order to wrap up a project before Thanksgiving; and am hoping to resume a more regular posting schedule in the near-future. In the meantime, here are a few quickies:
- Thanksgiving will cost more this year: According to Forbes, the cost of a typical Thanksgiving dinner will rise by about 5.6%. Even though commodity costs have been falling, producers find themselves in the fortunate position of being able to raise their prices.
- Security software providers get some competition: Microsoft has announced that it will offer free anti-malware with every copy of their operating system. In concert with this, Microsoft will also be ending their paid security service, OneCare.
- Looking for Gift Ideas this Holiday Season? MakeUseOf.com has compiled a list of 50 tools and resources to help you pick out gifts, cards, and everything else you’ll need this season.
- Money Saving Tips for a Turbulent Economy: Bill Sardi over at LewRockwell.com has compiled a list of money saving tips that are all based on the notion that you can save money by buying higher-quality, more durable goods.
Thanks to Chris for the suggestions!
