So, after much work, I am finally happy to introduce what I hope will turn into your first destination for great deals, great conversation and great fun, Cheapforia.com. What is Cheapforia? cheap◦for◦ia: is a feeling of great happiness or luck when scoring an amazing deal, commonly exaggerated, and thoroughly addictive. The goal of Cheapforia.com is to share your cheapforia with others and in the process make shopping social again.

Some exciting features of Cheapforia that make it unique are…

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

Who would have thought 30 years ago that a freely available commodity in nature would turn into such big business? I’m talking about water of course. It amazes me how many different “varities” of something you can have that has no taste. If you think about it, is there anything else out there that is marketed in as many different ways as water, when the end product is essentially the same exact thing? You have water from springs, brooks, streams, mountains and caves to name a few and if those aren’t good enough for you, well here comes another choice.

First Look: Chumby

Jared Howard — Fri, 10 Aug 2007 01:01:11 +0000

So in my possession is one of the first (1 of 50 actually) retail production Chumbys currently out in the wild. This is a gadget that caught my eye when I first heard about it almost a year ago. After going through both hardware and software revisions/upgrades from the initial batch of 500 beta units that were dispersed when the product was first annouced, Chumby is finally almost ready to be let loose. Check out the unboxing video after the jump.

Jared Howard — Wed, 08 Aug 2007 01:06:58 +0000

The ever increasing importance placed on time and money makes multitasking more and more important. No matter what it is, people are always looking for things that can solve multiple problems. The more birds you can kill with one stone, the less stuff you have to buy, and also the less things you have carry around with you. There is one thing that you carry with you every day though and has historically only served one purpose and that’s clothing. It only makes sense to experiment with ways in which clothing can serve multiple purposes.

Ridin Dirty

Jared Howard — Wed, 08 Aug 2007 00:18:31 +0000

So you’ve blinged out your car in every way imaginable. You’re rockin the rims, sound system, TVs and custom paint job. Your ride makes everything to ever come out of Pimp My Ride look like Power Wheels. But it’s still not enough. I’m sure it’s a dilema that many of you face out there. How can you take things to the next level?

That Thong Thong Thong Thong Thong

Jared Howard — Sun, 05 Aug 2007 23:48:00 +0000

Dog owners dressing up their dogs to match their outfits seems to be all the rage today. Jackets, hats, boots, pretty much any style you can wear, you can get for your dog (provided you have the money of course). Except when it comes to the almighty thong show, which seems to be ever so popular today. But if you can show your thong, why can’t your dog?
