July 31, 2009 - I hope your summer has been enjoyable! It's still hot here in SoCal and it still feels like summer, but it's time nonetheless to concentrate on getting the kiddies ready for going back to school in just a few weeks.
Here's hoping the coming school year will be good to you and your family! I also hope the information I've compiled will ease your toil and provide some welcome respite from some of the tough decisions and high costs you otherwise would have faced.
You know the drill. Click the links below to go straight to the articles of interest. Note that there are some in this list that are not new products. However, I put them here in the mix because they are still relevant and still recommended. If you don't know about or don't have something here, it's new to you and that is what is important. I do not believe that only new things are best. I am a huge fan of products that stand the test of time, especially in the arena of consumer electronics, but also in more obvious areas, such as housewares an hardware. I love it when I can buy something that lasts and lasts and that I can be pleased with, without thinking about paying for upgrading, for years to come. With that in mind, plunge into the really new and not so new below.
As always, thank you all for your support.
