Amazon is selling a Nintendo DS Lite Limited Edition Pink Ribbon for $99.95. I don’t know if this is just a Cybermonday special though. Plus, $5 from the purchase fights breast cancer, and I don’t know anyone who doesn’t want to help breasts.

‘Star Trek’ lore beams down to Arizona Science Center

On Sunday the Arizona Science Center will open “Star Trek: The Exhibition,” a 12,500-square-foot collection of re-creations, sets, costumes and props from all five Star Trek TV series and 10 films over the last 40 years.

Unfortunately, Star Trek descending down on Phoenix will not be without casualties:

Thursday morning the Apache Junction High School Star Trek Club will don their Starfleet best on site in Phoenix with the Fox 10 morning crew to help promote the event.

A side project I’ve been working on for a couple of months is now ready for others to beta test and tell me what’s working and what’s broken.

BudgetXL is designed to help you keep track of all the cash purchases (or credit card and other purchases if you want) that you do during a day. It has an email interface that you can use from your favorite email account or through text messaging (which is how I use it). There is more information on the website. Most cell phone providers provide a text messaging to email interface that you can use from your phone. For example, under Verizon, I can just put the email address in as the recipient and it sends the email.

If you get a chance, try it out at http://budgetxl.com/ and let me know of what issues you see and what can be improved. When you sign up you’ll need to use the code “bitsmack” (without the quotes).

Thanks for the help!

And now for the nerd who has everything, how about the Darth Vader Toaster? Not only can your wallet be $54.99 lighter, but what woman could deny your allure when you make her breakfast the morning after with the dark lord’s visage on the toast?

Walmart’s in-store special for Saturday features a $100 gift card with the purchase of a PS3. More interesting to me is the Sanyo 46″ TV for $800 or the Compaq laptop for $300, but I’m sure there are a couple of people out there that hasn’t bought a PS3 wait. They’ve been waiting in their homes, playing their Xbox 360 and Wii, just biding their time.
