Amawaitin - Amazon bargain shopper's tool

AmawaitinYou know how you feel when you miss a sale on an item you were definitely going to buy, but now the price has gone up and you feel like you've been robbed? Yeh, I hate it when that happens.

Amawaitin is a shopping tool for Amazon that emails or tweets you when your preselected items hit your target price. This is convenient as it helps you from having to constantly check if the price has gone down on your favorite items.

The site is super easy to register for and navigate. You can search for an item and Amawaitin will provide a list for you to select. You put in your target price and then you - yeah you guessed right - you wait. I'm still waiting for the price alert on the 47 in HDTV for $599.

The key to Amawaitin is having the presence of mind to input your items and target price in advance. The other critical factor is to have patience and hope your target price will hit, and the last consideration is to brace yourself for Cyndi Lauper's Time After Time song, whose lyrics will invade your head just because the name of the site is asking for it. I will be waiting, time after time..

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
