As I mentioned in a previous post, I have been working feverishly with the Drillsheet Team to get DrillSheet.com ready for a release in March. It took us until the last day of the month (March 31 was the release date), but it is now available for everyone to use (and is free)!

We have a lot of new ideas that will keep us continuously updating DrillSheet.com to give our users more features, and a better product. We feel that bringing the Bowling world to the Internet has been highly needed, and we hope our Bowlers enjoy this product as much as we do!

On a side note, Hillary Clinton challenged Barack Obama to a bowling contest. He recently took a few minutes from his busy Campaigning schedule to bowl a 10-year old girl. He only shot a 37, and lost to her 47. I highly suggest Senator Obama signing up for DrillSheet.com, and not to hesitate to ask for a few pointers!

Yesterday I decided to discuss the outcome of the super bowl. Today, I am going to talk about what most people look forward to...the commercials! For a 30 second spot this year, it cost a company 2.7 million dollars. For that price, every commercial should be perfect! While a few of them were a disappointment to me, a lot of them caught my eye and made me laugh. I think my favorite commercial this year has to be the Doritos where the guy uses a Dorito on a mouse trap. What happened was very unexpected and was ridiculously funny!

If you want to see a commercial someone is talking about, one you missed, or just want to replay your favorite, check out today's website. Myspace.com has done a nice job organizing them and letting you watch them on their faux television.

Everyone knows that I am a big fan of Woot.com, but are there other sites that I have started watching that are similar? I recently found a site called "1 Sale a Day". I think the first thing that caught my eye was how close the name of the site was to A Day Blog. What kept me coming back to the site was to see what deal they were offering for the day!

I am not a big fan of the site itself. To me, it feels like there are too many web 2.0 features on the site. Instead of pages taking you to the sections on the site, dropdowns open up to let you read everything. This makes everything on the page very cluttered!

Like I said before, I am a fan of the site because of the daily sales, and I will keep coming back daily!

Since tomorrow is Thanksgiving, I decided to do a post themed around the holiday. When most people think about tomorrow, the first thing they start imagining is the dinner table and all of the food they are about to eat. They see the turkey, the other meets, the potatoes, the corn, the yams, the deserts, and so much more. It is a feast they look forward to every year! Last year when we were sitting down at the table to eat, a conversation sparked up about a Turkey that some people eat on Thanksgiving called a Turducken. If the name does not give it away, it is a chicken stuffed inside a duck that is stuffed inside a turkey. About half of the table did not believe there was a such a thing, so I got out my computer and showed Turducken to everyone! We are fussy eaters, so this is not something we would eat...but it might be something you would enjoy!

Another big thing about this holiday is the day after. Black Friday is an insane shopping day, and many people start their holiday shopping on this day because of the great deals. Unless something really catches my eye, I usually try to stay at home and away from all the "crazy-ness". If would like to get a sneak peak at what is going to be offered at the local stores, check out the Slick Deals forum!

Have a great Thanksgiving with your friends and family, enjoy your shopping, and make sure to stop by next week for more posts! Oh, if you buy anything on Black Friday or you end up having Turducken for Thanksgiving, please leave a comment telling how it all went!

By now, most people have heard about the $100 laptop initiative, also known as "One Laptop Per Child" (OLPC). The goal of this project is to create a laptop cheap enough that through donations, laptops can be given to child all around the world. After multiple prototypes were built, a model has been selected and started production. Where they able to get the model to only cost $100? No. They have settled on a $200 price tag, and it looks like what is offered in the laptops are worth the extra cost.

Until November 26, you can buy a laptop for yourself or someone else you know. The cost for you to purchase one is $400. It will get you one laptop, and will pay for another laptop that will be given to a child in a developing nation. They call this the "Give One. Get one" plan, and I hope it is a huge success for them!
