Well, we finally got some carpet put in, and it has been great!

Take a look on picasa:

I have some pet fish, and I recently needed a new filter for my new tank setup (pictures to follow some day).

So, I went to Petsmart and found a good one for my tank size:

Rena FilStar xP3 Canister Filter. Only $179 at petsmart. But, that is expensive! So I did a quick web search and found it online selling at petsmart.com for $105: http://www.petsmart.com/….. So, I asked the salesman, and he said they will match the online price if I bring in a printout. So, I went to work, printed out the page, and saved $75!

But then I discovered that I could have saved an additional $30 via a coupon:

What a great deal. If you want to buy a canister filter, get one of the xp ones for really cheap in store or online. Apparently they will honor the coupon in store, along with the the low-price match (via: http://www.turtletimes.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=48604).

In 2008, smart USA will be importing smart cars! I can’t wait. We need smaller, more energy efficient cars in America.

Reserve your smart car. I did already, and I can’t wait to get one! I’ll probably quit driving (or sell) my Subaru WRX STi. I can get 19-22 MPG by being gentle on the pedal, but the smart is projected to get 40 MPG! That’s great for a non-hybrid. Help America reduce our dependance on foreign oil.

I’m an advocate for greener companies, and I’m happy to announce that the company I work for is striving for greener technology:
