Mike Konos Burnished Leather Boot
Category: shoes

These shoes are so amazing.

The soles are made of that amazing Italian Rubber that smells exactly like Cabbage Patch Kid faces. (e:mike) you know what I am talking about.

I never buy shoes online but I tried these on at the store and they were awesome. For some reason they are $169 at the store but $129 online

at the same company.

I asked at the store but they wouldn't match their own online price. That seems so stupid to me. It basic is relegating the brick and mortar store to a try on room.

I finally got my DSW account's merged and online access. For my trouble they gave me an extra 500 points which got me another $10 Cash Reward cert.

I went to go buy wedding shoes and they had one last pair in my size today at 70% off, plus O had a coupon bringing the originally $350 pair of shoes down to $40!!!

One should never buy boots or shoes on line unless like here you tried them on... Problem is each companies sizes run different Nike's are thinner then Standard think and thing like DC or skateboard type is a little wider so you can order shoes and they won't fit....

Lockitron - Smartphone powered door lock

Another thing I wanted to make is already made. I figured the price point is cheaper than I would have made it for with all the fuckups and melted circuit boards that would have occurred along the way. Although less fun.

so it monitors your door being locked an unlocked.
lets you send keys and revoke them as needed
lock and unlock the door remotely
not have to both carrying around a key when you already have a smartphone in your pocket
works with existing infrastructure

I pre-ordered now for $179 to save $20. They come out in march.

Its also arduino compatible and has an API. I can't wait.

Good! Maybe you can finally find out who has been coming in your house when you're not there. I know it freaked me the hell out that someone WAS coming in the house while you two were both on vacation and supposedly noone else had a key but me! Hopefully the stranger who stole your key and stays in your house when you're not around will be stopped by this.

When I said sheep in fishnet stockings, I was joking
Category: internet

Yesterday, I jokingly referred to sheep wearing fishnets and heels. Obviously I was joking as I don't see what that would be necessary with sheep already sexy as they are naturally. Anyways, like everything I think is original, its already been done. Apparently, its even already been mass produced and is available for $34.99

(hint, hint to anyone planning a bachelor party)

That's disturbing me....

New Year's Food - Crab Legs
Category: food

I made the trip down to Eden's Exclusively Alaskan in order to pick up crab legs for my mom's New Years dinner party. We had a $50 gift certificate to start with so it was a good start. Also got some scallops and salmon in a jar. The guy threw in, according to him, the world's only seafood pierogis. I am excited to try them.
