Black Friday - 2008 and My GPS
A pretty uneventful shopping day for me. I scoured the ads at the 11th hour, and decided there were only two stores worth visiting this year. That is mostly due to my daily fix of electronics deals on Woot and Sellout Woot.
But my trips to Office Depot in Lynnwood and the well-hidden Staples in Mill Creek turned out to be fruitful. I couldn't help but notice how weak the Best Buy and Circuit City offerings were this year.
And in case you haven't noticed, flat screen TVs of all shapes and sizes are on sale everywhere this year. Same goes for GPS systems.
I finally took the plunge into the GPS world with the Garmin C510, pictured here. I got on Woot for around $80 a month or so ago. For someone who is as directionally challenged as myself, I am really wondering why I didn't get one of these ages ago. It can sometimes be frustrating not quite knowing where this thing is leading you (it seems to have a knack for taking you right into traffic, probably because it's leading everyone the same direction), but at times when you don't know where you're going, it's a lot better than nothing.
