Some new links

You may have noticed a couple of new links on the site. I am working on setting up a bookstore through Amazon.com. There will be a link to it on the sidebar, but in the meantime I have added some Amazon.com banner ads to the bottom of the page.

I’ve also added a link to the Bank One credit card site if you are looking for a new credit card. I’ve been with Bank One since they were First USA and this has been a great credit card for me. I won’t stand behind anything I haven’t used myself and I won’t be cluttering the site with ads, but I’ve added some and will continue to recommend items and link to Amazon.com.

When I recommend a book or CD you can click through to that book or CD or DVD right to Amazon.com. And if you buy anything through one of our links then you are helping us with the wedding fund because I have set up an Amazon.com Associates account. I figure that millions of people are buying on Amazon.com all the time and why not connect to Amazon.com through this site.

The online bookstore and recommendations are coming soon. Look for it.

I just saw the taped episode of this past Wednesday’s LOST and the show just keeps getting better and better, but now we are into reruns for a few weeks, but guess what next week is a two hour episode the first two episodes back to back. So now is your time to get LOST!!!

I also just watched the taped episode of Ellen from Thursday with Zach Braff. That guy is just so funny. And the Garden State DVD is up for Pre-order and is being released on December 28th. But you can get the Grammy nominated Soundtrack now.

Advertising on my soda…

The other night when Allison and I saw the Jimmy Buffett Coastal Confession Concert, (which was awesome!), I found a new kind of advertisement. Dan got us some popcorn and soda and on the top of the soda cup enclosed in a special lid was a CD. The advertising company is called LidRock and they create CD’s that have advertisement items for video games, music and movies as well as for major stores or events. This CD has a Circuit city advertisement and a couple of music videos and 5 free downloads from more music.com. There are also movie previews and video game previews contained on the disk. It certainly caught my attention.

I’m thinking of contacting LidRock to make our wedding favor CD’s and having them placed on the beverage lids at the McDonalds where the reception will be held.
