Help Me Save Cougar Town and Maybe Win $100 Amazon Gift Card

Hey friends,

I need your help.

At the top of the page you'll notice we have a banner up for the show Cougar Town.  Now, up front let me tell you I am not getting paid a dime to host that ad or for this post.  It's taking up premium ad space on the site because I want it to.  I reached out to the creators of the show and asked them for something, anything, to put on the site to show my support and appreciation for what has become one of my favorite TV comedies, and my favorite ensemble cast, on TV today.  Why?  Because I love it and I want it to stick around for as long as possible.

What does this have to do with you?

Well, I'm asking for a favor.  Watch the show.  Tuesday Nights 830pm on ABC.  Give it a chance.  I can guarantee you it is not the show you think it is.  It's not about older women after younger men.  it's about friendship and family and wine.  It's an unfortuantely titled show that you will fall in love with.

Do me a favor and help me save one of my favorite shows.  Tell your friends (especially of the Nielsen variety), watch the show a few times.  If you don't like it, you've lost what 90 minutes?  If you do like it, and I feel extremely confident that you will, keep spreading the word. 

Hell, I'll even make it a contest.  Anyone who tweets "Please Watch Cougar Town Tuesday 8:30 on ABC.  One of the Best Shows (and THE BEST Cast) on TV! #CougarTown #PCBCT" will be entered in a drawing to win a $50 Amazon Gift Card (out of my OWN POCKET.)  If I get more than 100 tweets/RTs on this AND Cougar Town ratings increase (even a little) I'll bump it up to $100.


DO NOT FORGET THE HASH TAGS or I won't know you tweeted it. UPDATE: Contest ends April 3!

That might not seem like a lot but I'm a completely independent blog and I do this for the love of doing it. 

Help me save Cougar Town and in the process you'll find a show you'll fall for too.

Game on.


THANK YOU!



-Garon

Tech: Kindle Fire shipping early! (Tomorrow for everyone else)

Well look at this... a steady stream of people from all corners of the internet have reported in that Amazon has shipped the new Kindle Fire early, by a whole 24 hours, receiving them today. Officially the new (likely-to-be) hot holiday tablet/e-reader was not supposed to launch until tomorrow (Nov.15th).

But for those lucky few (read: half the planet) that sent Amazon into a near tailspin trying to ramp up production to meet pre-order demand, you all get a nice treat. According to Amazon VP David Limp they are, "thrilled to be able to ship Kindle Fire to our customers earlier than we expected."

Tech: Amazon announces new Kindles!

While the tech media waits patiently for October 4th to roll around, one of our old friends decided to pay a visit. Amazon today trotted out the Kindle horse, unveiling three full new devices in the e-book dominating family for us to feast our eyes on. 

First of the bunch is the Kindle Fire, which bring to fruition rumors that date back almost a year of a Kindle branded tablet from the online retailer. This little 7-inch bad boy is quite friendly too, he runs a heavily modified version of Android, likely 2.2 or 2.3 (sorry no Honeycomb here). The real kicker for this introduction is the price, coming in at just $199 this guy likely will have legs, coming in cheaper than it's direct competition, the Nook and Kobo, as well as the tablet titian iPad 2. 

Alright so lets talk specs, for the price you are losing a camera, microphone and no 3G fun, just WiFi. But internally you gain a dual-core 1GHz processor (of the TI OMAP4 variety), 512MB of RAM, and 8GB of internal storage. Not entirely revolutionary specs, but the Kindle Fire certainly doesn't disappoint and does pack some heat under the hood. Lastly you can expect up to 8 hours of continuous reading (7.5 of video) and a 3.5mm headphone jack and a speaker for your listening pleasure.

The Kindle launches on November 15th and Amazon is already taking pre-orders. Hit the break (the Rawr just below) to check out the Kindle Touch and the plain old (new) Kindle.
