A TiVo giveaway from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. today tomorrow is in my neck of the woods. Like this guy said though, the real giveaway will last from 11:00 to 11:02 a.m. I’ve only got 5 minutes to get there and I’m still home. Bah. Fuggetit.
Update: The giveaway is tomorrow. I should read my linked articles more carefully next time, shouldn’t I? Tivo, here I come!
Update 2: I ended up not going. But a co-worker did. She said thousands of people showed up. My co-worker got her TiVo but she got a $33 ticket for parking illegally. She also had to fork $5 for a doll she bought from a lady behind her because she forgot to bring a donation. She brings back some good news though: I can still buy a TiVo for $49.99 (after $100 rebate)! Deadline is midnight tonight. Now if I could only convince the wife.
Update 3: We didn’t go for the TiVo rebate offer. We’ll put our money to some other use like, hmmm, buying Christmas presents for others, maybe? We’ll settle for our trusty old VCR for now.
Quick! Launch iTunes and get today’s free download, Nelly Furtado’s Try. It may not be there tomorrow. Apple has been giving away free songs from different artists almost every other day since it released its latest version of iTunes a week ago. At that rate I can fill up my 1st gen, 5-GB iPod with free mp3’s* in about, oh, five years.
*or more accurately AAC’s. Bah, it just doesn’t flow.
Update: I really should be more thorough researching stuff before posting anything. It was only the first week that Apple was giving away one song a day. After that, it’s been one free song a week.
