Only a handful of new ones, but yesterday's post has more cameras and a few toys, and the post from two days ago has lots of DVD deals.

The electronics Deal of the Day is the Garmin nüvi 350 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator for $299.99 (69% off).

Today's 10 Days of Videogames Deal offers the chance to buy 1 PC game, get another for $20 off. Games include The Orange Box, Civ 4, Tabula Rasa, and other recent stuff.

In coffee, a five-pound bag of Jeremiah's Pick Whole Bean Kona Blend is going for $33.50 (less than $7 a pound). I haven't had the Kona blend, but I like Jeremiah's Pick a lot.

Finally, Amazon's added one more TV sale to the mix, with a major sale on National Geographic DVDs. Most are 40-50% off.

Unsolicited Wii Reommendation

If you have a Wii, you owe it to yourself to get Zack and Wiki: The Quest for Barbaros' Treasure. It is made of awesome (and is very old-school in its puzzle solving). Elayna is completely hooked, and I'm having fun helping her.

Ick

The weather outside is most definitely frightful. Definitely good weather to watch an episode of Samurai Champloo on the Tivo and get some writing done.

Not a good day for my coccyx, but I don't think that's weather related. I blame the cat who snuck up behind me last night. Stepping on her paw not only led to the usual screaming (on her part) and guilt (on mine), but also led to massive amounts of pain when I jumped in the air. Ow.

The feline, of course, was fine two minutes later.

Well, crap

Coles, Baker, McCareins, Crotchery, and Robertson are all questionable for today's game.

Because, you know, it wouldn't have been tough enough to challenge the Pats even with our four best receivers and one of our best defenders.

The Batman

Yesterday's episode of The Batman made wonderful use of Nightwing. A nice touch.

Also, you can't go wrong with a guest role for Patton Oswalt.

Let's hear it for the Internet

George Martin has started a page for the Wild Card Books. That's good.

He included one of those Meebo chat widgets. There are all sorts of reasons I hate these things (including aesthetics, browser load, etc), and I generally Adblock them, anyway. But this reminded me of yet another reason I hate 'em: they attract Internet users. And Internet users are generally morons:

Screw the Turducken

Twelve birds stuffed one-into-another.

They call it a True Love Roast, but I prefer the term squaquaipheasduckduckguinmallpartchickturmallgoose myself.

Dear Las Vegas:

Relax. Your long municipal nightmare is over.
