I want to wish all of my blog readers and Twitter followers a Merry Christmas!

To thank everyone for contributing to what I do, I’m giving away 3 gift cards.

A $25 gift card to Restaurant.com. Be sure to check Restaurant.com and make sure there are restaurants in your area that are participating. (Restaurant.com lets you buy gift cards for less. For example, for $10 Restaurant.com money, you could get a $20 gift card to a local restaurant.)

A $10 gift card to everyone’s favorite, StarBucks Coffee.

And last but not least, a $5 gift card to Crazy Dog T-Shirts.

To win, all you have to do is press the retweet button at the top of this post. If your tweets are protected, I would suggest re tweeting and posting a comment in the comment section below because your retweets will not appear in the ‘retweet comments.’ Feel free to include in your tweet what gift card you want. If you don’t care, don’t specify one.

Winners will be chosen randomly using a number generator and then DMed.

Don’t have Twitter or don’t feel like tweeting? Just post in the comments below. Re-Tweets are greatly appreciated though!

Thanks and Merry Christmas!

*Winners will be chosen on Christmas Eve – Thursday, December 24th.

Edit: Sometimes your tweets will not show up immediatly in the re-tweet comment section. If they do not appear in 1 hour please contact me via twitter or the contact form.

Also, please note that I will do my best to keep track of everyone manually as I see tweets come through. Most of them will be logged on here automatically.

Times are tough and some people can’t afford to get a new computer.

MoonFruit, a website building company, is giving away 10 MacBooks for 10 days.

Why? Well it’s MoonFruit’s 10 year anniversary so they are going big to celebrate!

It’s super easy to win! Just grab a Twitter account, follow @MoonFruit on Twitter and make a tweet with the hash tag #moonfruit. It can be as creative as you want or it can be as simple as their premade script: “Celebrate 10 years of Moonfruit and win a MacBook Pro http://bit.ly/96bxC #moonfruit.” Or you can press the Retweet button on my site and it will automatically put #moonfruit in your tweet and it will link back to my site!

Goodluck to everyone and be sure to follow me on Twitter as well! @austinprime!

I’m one of those people that requires some type of sound playing to get me to sleep or to get things accomplished. While doing homework I’ve discovered listening to music is not the best idea because I get too into it and it becomes distracting, and at night I used to have to have the tv running with a sleep timer and a fan running for noise.

Well now thanks to SimplyNoise.com I can have white noise playing from the speakers on my computer. White noise can aid sleep, enhance privacy, block distractions, mask tinnitus, configure audio equipment, soothe migraines, and many other tasks. The best part about it is that you can listen to it forever and it never gets annoying.  SimplyNoise is my new ‘go-to’ place for white noise.  It is by far the coolest and simplest sound generator I have found on the internet. It’s not loaded with features, but it does have one VERY cool feature which is the ‘oscillate volume’ button which will turn the volume up and down making it sound as if the ocean is roaring. Start listening to free white noise now at SimplyNoise.com.

I hope you enjoy my pick of the week! Let me know if you use it in the comments!
