Seattle Seahawks Limited Edition Sodas

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Jones Soda. All opinions are 100% mine.

The final stages of the NFL football season approaches, when the tension, excitement and, for the teams who aren't successful, frustration, reaches fever pitch. Have you got your Sundays sorted out yet? A place to watch the big games to come, with a big screen, good friends, tasty snacks and nibbles and plenty of beer or soda to wash them down with? No?? Time to get a move on then!

I do have a suggestion regards the drinks though. Have you tried any of the super delicious Jones Soda range yet? You should. They have some very cool, ice cool even, Seattle Seahawks limited edition four packs ready for you to order online, and drink down on sofa.

Cream Soda, Green Apple and Berry Lemonade flavors are ready to tickle your taste buds, and more importantly, quench your thirst. And for just $3.99 for the four pack - these are limited editions, remember! And if you aren't buying them for yourself, then they'd make a great gift for someone special.

I just hope for your sake that the happy recipient doesn't get too excited during the big game and spray the contents over the sofa. Because it's far too good to waste! Oh, and like most beverages, it's probably not much good for your sofas! Now, if they'd just make the drink in San Francisco 49ers limited editions, they'd be completely perfect!

Canon S90 Review

Camera Labs has it's comprehensive review of the much hyped Canon S90 up for your viewing pleasure, including the video below, taken with the unit. The video capability, sadly, is the one thing that turns me off about this camera - no HD. No widescreen. Just plain old 640x480 VGA. Not good enough, Mr Canon.

Charter and the Camaro

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Charter. All opinions are 100% mine.

There are so many choices these days when it comes to deciding how you are going to spend your hard earned money on your personal entertainment, and so many factors to weigh up before making that final decision. But with winter upon us, and home based entertainment options easily the most appealing, it's definitely worth looking at your television, phone and internet service to see how much you can get for how little. It's also fair to say that with the excellent bundled packages on offer, you're probably going to be selecting a single provider.

Charter have made a name for themselves for providing some of the best packages available on the market today, with their internet services boasting up to 20Mbps. That's more than fast enough to watch the best online videos out there right now! They also have cable and phone services to match.

Internet users love speed, and so do Charter, which is why they are currently running the Camaro Sweepstakes, to offer all of their new customers the chance to match their online speed, on the road in a brand new sports car. Of course, when I say road, I mean to say track! This beast has power and pace that law enforcement officers wouldn't appreciate seeing used to the full on the public highway!

Want to know more about all the different types of blistering speed that Charter could be providing you with? You can catch up with Charter on Facebook for the latest news. Or you can find Charter on Twitter if that's your favorite way of keeping up to date.

Pictory - Tell Your Story

There's a new photo community on the scene, and it's one with a twist. An online magazine of sorts, where members can contribute photographs with an accompanying story. Editors choose the best of the entrants and showcase them on the site. Pictory look like an interesting concept, that involves more than mindless uploading of random images, and promises to produce genuinely compelling content.

Lights, Camera, More Lights....

DPS has a great showcase of 25 light inspired photographs up that are well worth looking at. It's not an easy feat to produce these sorts of images, but they are just the thing most of us amateur photographers aspire to.

Olympus E-600 Review

Photography blog have their review up for the (very) entry level Olympus E-600 DSLR. It is cheap, but it is low on features. Don't expect HD video. Which is in my opinion a big omission, because a lot of budget level cameras do now include HD video. Give it another 6 months to a year and I am sure it will be a very standard feature. So if HD video is remotely important to you, hold on to your cash for a few more months, or look at spending an extra hundred bucks or so on a Pentax K-x. If it's not, and money is tight, then this is a camera worth your consideration, according to Photography blog, who have given it a very high rating.

LRSaver - Adobe Lightroom Screensaver

There are times when I wonder just how some companies turn a buck. Take the new LrSaver program, which uses Lightroom to produce a customizable screensaver, for the bargain price of US$9.99. Alternatively, you could use a myriad of free screensaver programs to do pretty much the same thing for free. Or even save yourself the time of downloading anything at all and use Windows built in screensaver to show off your photos to the person who is in front of your computer while nothing else is happening on it.

Or better still, just set your monitor to go to sleep when it isn't in use, and save electricity and reduce your carbon footprint! But still, there's a sucker born every minute, and if that happens to be you, click here to go and see how you can senselessly waste perfectly good money.
