HP TouchPad from OnSale

Well if you’re reading this, my guess is that you were potentially impacted by the fire sale of the HP TouchPads after the insane new price of $99 for the 16GB version was established.

Almost 37 Weeks…

I’m sure that being a parent doesn’t get any easier than when the kid is in utero, but the nerves are certainly getting pushed to the max right now.  We’re now seeing the doctor every week and will until our little guy is here.  At today’s appointment, we learned the baby hasn’t begun to drop [...]
