BUT, and this is important, this deal is good for today only. OCZ's Agility 3 2.5" 90GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive is normally $150. With this deal you can get it for $99.99. Plus, it will ship for free and there is no tax in most states. If you have never seen the speed that comes with a solid state drive this is a great way to get started. And while 90GB isn't a huge amount of storage capacity, with cloud storage increasingly cheap there's never been a better time to swap out a traditional Continue reading on Gear Diary ...]]> http://www.geardiary.com/2012/02/13/gear-deal-ocz-agility-3-2-5-90gb-internal-solid-state-drive/feed/ 0 Announcing the Winners of iPhone Cases For Country Boys Case Mate Giveaway!http://www.geardiary.com/2012/02/12/announcing-the-winners-of-iphone-cases-for-country-boys-case-mate-giveaway/ http://www.geardiary.com/2012/02/12/announcing-the-winners-of-iphone-cases-for-country-boys-case-mate-giveaway/#comments Mon, 13 Feb 2012 03:18:26 +0000 Travis Ehrlich http://www.geardiary.com/?p=183508

We want to thank all of you who commented on the review for Case Mate Tough Cases featuring Realtree designs. I have continued to use the deer design and love it.

The two winners were chosen at random, one by my 7 year old and the other by my 4 year old.

Welcome back to another weekend of game deals for you to enjoy! Things seem to be cranking up again on the deals, headlined by the awesome 75% off sale on the Jedi Knight collection at Steam. Take my advice, skip Jar Jar in 3D and spend the weekend with Kyle Katarn and Mara Jade! As a reminder, I have refocused on only those sites I feel bring great deals AND great customer experience to the table, including Amazon, Beamdog, Desura, DotEmu, GamersGate, Mac App Store and Steam. I have two 'featured' games from Get Games because they activate on Steam, so you avoid their silly install limits. Also, I am more tightly focusing on deals of 75% off or more, with occasional 50% sales, but in addition will also be trimming back to fewer than 25 deals per site to keep the list under control. I am continuing my 'top weekend deals' section where I grab my favorite 5 or so deals of the week and provide direct links! For these games I select based on how good the game is as well as how sweet the deal - but each week there are great games at fantastic discounts! And as always thanks to the crew at Deals4Downloads for their help finding everything. This week I am also going to start properly alphabetizing my list by store!

Quick - what is the first requirement of having a Grammy Music sale? That is right - that music nominated for Grammy Awards is featured! So you should be able to look at the 'best song' or 'best solo' category and then find that song in the 'On Sale' list at Google Music ... right? Well, that is KIND OF how things work at the Google Music Grammy sale - and before I nitpick, let me just say that there is a load of Grammy-nominated music available at great prices. For example, I grabbed 'The Good Feeling' big band recording by Christian McBride. I have it on my MoG collection, but at $3.99 it was an instant buy!

The cases are quite nice. Fabric patterns give a personalized look and feel and the extra texture helps you keep your grip on the otherwise slipper iPhone.

Well, it could be "grandmother of PC games" for all I know.  My biology background didn't include methodology for determining software sex identity and their gender bits look the same to me. XVision has released DONKEY.BAS for iOS 5.0+ mobile devices, based on one of the original IBM PC DOS games written by Bill Gates and Neil Konzen. Yes, that Bill Gates. The concept is simple:  The player is driving down the road in what appears to be a late 1940s race car, destination unknown.  Suddenly, up ahead, a donkey appears in your lane.  What to do!? Change lanes before it's too late!  Read on to see my review of the game plus a chance for a reader to win a copy of the game!

Yes, it is true! Country boys do have tech gear and iPhones! In fact, as you will see with the Gear Diary Outdoors series, gear and the outdoors are actually a wonderful match. We use camo gear for just about everything. Of course, I mostly use it when hunting, but it is also a bit of a style for us outdoors nuts. It really is something you only understand if you live in the country and live that lifestyle. I by all means do not run around in full camo gear all of the time, but some items are fun and stylish to use daily. Case Mate has produced some cases which perfectly fit the bill for those of us who love to hunt and fish by using designs from Real Tree camouflage as well as some of your favorite animals. After the review find out how to win one of the Case Mate Tough Case With Realtree Designs used in this post!

We liked the case line a great deal and had this to say about it:
We’ve recently taken a look at a number of Speck’s offerings for the iPhone 4 and the iPhone 4S but I saved my personal favorite for last. The Speck FabShell is a low profile case that protects the back, sides, top and bottom of the iPhone but leaves the screen fully accessible The addition of fabric not only on the back but on the sides and bottom makes it a case that looks… and feels unique.
So why don't we give a few away?!!

Welcome back to another weekend of game deals for you to enjoy! You might notice that this week is a bit slower than previous weeks ... but there are still some great deals! As a reminder, I have refocused on only those sites I feel bring great deals AND great customer experience to the table, including Amazon, Beamdog, Desura, DotEmu, GamersGate, Mac App Store and Steam. I have two 'featured' games from Get Games because they activate on Steam, so you avoid their silly install limits. Also, I am more tightly focusing on deals of 75% off or more, with occasional 50% sales, but in addition will also be trimming back to fewer than 25 deals per site to keep the list under control. I am continuing my 'top weekend deals' section where I grab my favorite 5 or so deals of the week and provide direct links! For these games I select based on how good the game is as well as how sweet the deal - but each week there are great games at fantastic discounts! And as always thanks to the crew at Deals4Downloads for their help finding everything. This week I am also going to start properly alphabetizing my list by store! TOP WEEKEND DEALS!
