Month: October 2007

We ordered a TiVo TCD648250B Series3 HD Digital Media Recorder from Amazon last month, then today I saw via dealnews’ RSS feed that they had dropped the price on the other unit, so I checked and saw they had dropped the price on mine by $25. This Slate article describes how to go about getting a refund for the drop in price if it is within thirty days, so I called 1-800-201-7575, hit 7, gave them my email address, told them I saw the price had dropped, and they immediately credited my credit card. Painless!

Now, I just need to send in the mail-in rebate to get some more back.

In one of my first posts, I pointed to this great new gorge over by Canyon Dam that had been formed by flooding. Now, it is open to the public!

New Central Texas gorge open to public
A torrent of water from a bloated Canyon Lake sliced open the earth, exposing rock formations, fossils and even dinosaur footprints in just three days. To protect Canyon Lake Gorge from vandals, it’s been open only to researchers since the 2002 flood, but on Saturday, it opens to its first public tour.

For the first three people that reply to me and re-post this challenge, I will send you something.

It might be something I’ve made, or something cool from my hidden stash, it might be a mix CD, or a rubber duck, a book I think you will enjoy, or something else that is awesome.

Whatever it is, I promise that I will get it to you in 365 days or less.

The only thing you need to do in order to participate is to be one of the first three to reply to this, AND post this very same thing on YOUR blog – cause it’s fun to give people stuff.
