Last Day for Online Specials – Father’s Day and Toy Story 3

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

Over the last couple of weeks, we have covered both Father’s Day Gift Shopping and How to Get FREE Tickets to See Toy Story 3.  While most readers are painfully aware of the date (and the limited time between now and the weekend), it never hurts to send a gentle reminder out to those who might just be too busy to have spent any time on either of these.  Today marks the last day that you can order anything online and expect to receive it before the weekend, without paying overnight fees.

Toy Story 3 Starts Friday – Wanna See it for FREE?

Monday, June 14th, 2010

Last week I posted an article titled Manage Your Growing Disc Collection, in which I talked about physical storage of home movies, music CD’s, etc.  While researching and organizing my own collection I came across my copies of Toy Story and Toy Story 2 (on Blu-Ray) and realized that I had not taken advantage of my FREE Movie Ticket offer.  Realizing that the release of the latest installment of the Toy Story franchise was only days away, I immediately followed the instructions provided and, within minutes, I was printing our tickets to see Toy Story 3.  As it turns out, there is more than one way to get these FREE tickets, and I want to share the details with the JumpstartMyPC.com audience.

Manage Your Growing Disc Collection – Tools and Tricks

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

The compact disc (CD) was originally introduced to the world in 1982 and, since that switch to the 12 cm wide (standard size) disc, there have been numerous formats released in the same size and shape.  CD’s, DVD’s, Blu-Ray and HD DVDs, a multitude of computer writable discs, plus video games for consoles like the XBOX, XBOX360, Playstation 3, Wii, etc., have taken over and it seems this format will be here for many years to come.  Even though most of us didn’t purchase or begin collecting these optical discs until the mid-90’s, we all have a collection of some sort.

Organizing this collection of digital data and keeping track of what we have becomes more and more difficult as time goes on.  Storage cabinets, boxes, shelving units, entertainment centers and other furniture options are available at every store from Walgreens to Ikea and everyone has owned a few in hopes of keeping their collection organized, accessible and visually appealing.  No matter what you have to hold your data, it is most likely a temporary solution, as you’ll soon be purchasing that latest album, movie or video game.

What do we do next?
