Decide.com — What's the best time to buy electronics?

I didn't think this site was a big deal — as it were — until Kevin Kelly emailed me back, "Now that is cool."

If Kevin Kelly says it's cool, well, that trumps whatever I'm thinking in a Podunk town minute.

I happened on Decide.com while reading an article in last Thursday's New York Times about Oren Etzioni, who founded the website.

Long story short: Black Friday is not the best day to buy high-end electronics.

It turns out that this week — "Cyber Monday week" — offers the lowest prices.

So why are you sittting there like a bump on a pickle reading this drivel?

Get thee to a Best Buy et al and score that long-coveted piece of kit.

Bow Tie Bag Clips

For the dapper pantry.

Set of four: $8.

Think outside the kitchen space: might be useful if you're feeling formal or puckish — clip one on your shirt or blouse.

You watched the movie, now read the book.

Inflatable Wreath

When you're done for the year, just deflate it and store with the rest of your decorations.
