Matt's Iphone #3 - bargain prices at ATT
Category: phones
Speaking of iphone (e:hodown,50930)

(e:matthew) is on iphone number 3. The first one died when he got so excited about obama being elected that he threw his phone on the floor and it shattered. The second one just died yesterday. When the first one died we went to the apple store and ended up paying $199 for a new one.

This time I had the idea to go ahead and search for refurb models. Believe it or not AT&T has refurbished iphone 3g's for only $49. I wish I knew that the first time. Not only that it came with a new charger and headphone. The two of those cost more than $49 at the apple store without the phone. I know because we have bought plenty of them.

It comes with a 90 day warranty too, which is the same warranty length he got on his last refurbished iphone from the apple store at $199.

This picture is very shiny but I did it on purpose to show the lack of scratches. It is perfect condition.

You need an AT&T contract - I got it from here

The 3G is slightly slower than the 3GS but it is much fast that the 2G iphone. It also has no compass or video recording. Also the shipping was fast. I went with the free shipping and it came in two days.

Hmm, does it make you renew your contract? I'm up for upgrade pricing in feb, but at this point I think I might as well wait for the next version, which should be out in july or so, right? But my 3g is starting to get cracks and stuff... If I could get a 3gs for $100 and NOT have to extend my contract I'd consider it...

Gabe Mayer of Buffalo
Category: web
Hey Gabe Mayer,
You don't know me and I don't have contact info for you but I bought the house you used to live in on Linwood and now someone is looking for you. I figure maybe you will google yourself sometime and see this.

The person sent the following message:

Please call 716-397-4265 when you can. Trying to find Gabe Mayer. He designed a website for my company but can't get through to him. Any info would be great



Maybe this will help you two find each other.

I wonder if you will sell your home to another web designer?

Hopefully, he/she will be one that can be found on google .

Is this even snow anymore?

What gives these chunky black mounds such great stability?

Apparently ice starts to get real strong and less melty when you mix it with the right kind of stuff.

It being Ice. I have seen Ice defy gravity before and it is pretty amazing what it can do.

I officially love my kitchenaid

The first thing I am made is coconut meringue cookies. I know it's
lazy but I really enjoy "just press" mixing. It sure beats the hand
crank mixer I have been using the last ten years.

I so hate you. I want one of those so bad.
metalpeter - 01/25/10 18:35
Those sound Very good, I've had those many times but don't think I have had flavored ones.
pyrcedgrrl - 01/25/10 16:40
Oooh! You finally got one!! Congrats! I love my (incredibly gorgeous bright RED) Kitchenaid mixer, but don't use it nearly enough!!

I was astounded this summer when you made whipped cream by hand this summer. You are going to be swimming in whipped creamy goodness from now on.
heidi - 01/24/10 21:01
Congrats, Paul! I'm terribly jealous.
