Sanyo Xacti Waterproof Hybrid Camera/Camcorder Linky

I actually have this hybrid camera+camcorder. It has a very nice, easy to grip, and small form factor. It uses SD cards to store photos and videos. It is incredible for underwater activities like snorkeling, etc!

Besides for having slightly “mushy” buttons, this is a very solid hybrid camera/camcorder.

Amazon has really brought their A game to the plate today!

Maybe you didn’t notice: I’ve been on the road since early Sunday morning.

In the past I’ve always had an excuse for enjoying some precious days off from updating this website while traveling, but now I have a Palm Centro.

The Centro is the best device from Palm yet.

At first I had my reservations, the thumbpad seems to small to be usable, and the casing a little too “plasticky.” However after some use it was clear that the Centro is a winner.

It is significantly smaller and lighter than previous Treos, it actually feels like a regular phone when you’re holding it.

As far as the thumbpad-I was pleasantly surprised with how good the accuracy was.

It has a speedy processor and suffers none of the lags than plagued some previous Treo’s.

Even better: The internet speeds and push email functionality are top-notch.

The Centro has the fastest web-browsing that I have seen on a phone, and it performs flawlessly and swiftly when tethered to a laptop. (I’m talking about speeds better than the wretched AT&T DSL that I recently canceled when I finally made the switch to cable!)

Best of all: Sprint doesn’t charge me a penny to use their high-speed EV-DO data network and the push-email program and service is on the house!

Blackberry-What for?!?



As for where I was…

Sunday: In Crown Heights at the L’chaim (engagement party) of Yarden Blumstein, my chassidus chavrusa (learning partner) of 5 consecutive years!

Monday: In Monsey at the wedding of a first cousin of mine, Avigail Eleff to Ariel Fogel—Mazal Tov!
(Special kudos to Eli for the place card…lol)

Monday night was spent at the Sheraton in nearby Mahwah, NJ. This was really a beautiful hotel. It cost a whole $60 thanks to priceline, and they gave me a sweet Starwood Gold upgraded suite on the club level just for the asking!

Finally, thanks to Sruly Kotlarsky for the tip to dine at the Purple Pear in Monsey yesterday-I can heartily recommend it!

Important: This is a promotion for paid stays in Starwood branded hotels. This is not a promotion for spending on your Starwood AMEX card!

The promo options seem to depend on your Starwood elite status.

The promo is valid for hotel stays between 12/01/07 and 2/29/08.

You can only pick one promo.

Total price comes out less than from Costco because Amazon doesn’t charge tax or shipping-and you don’t pay a non-member surcharge!

You’re 18 years old and you’re ready to play the lucrative miles game!

Only problem, you’ve applied for some great-sounding credit cards and have been rejected.

Don’t worry, those rejections won’t hurt you in the future.

It’s easy to build up your credit history to get any card you desire.

Method 1:

This way is really easy. Unfortunately it will stop working sometime soon, so get a move on if you want to do it!

All you need to do is ask one of your parents to add you to their oldest credit card with a high credit line that is clear of any delinquent payments. On most cards is shouldn’t cost a penny to add someone as a secondary user.

The key is for your parents to make sure to add you as an authorized user and to supply the credit card issuer with your social security number.

You never even need to use your new card, just wait 60-90 days and then apply for an easy to get credit card, like the Starwood AMEX, and you should be approved without any problems.

Method 2:

This takes a little more work, but it’s fairly simple as well.

Open up a store-issued credit card. Good ones that are available nationwide are ones from GAP or Macy’s. They are very easy to get approved, and they are fee-free.

Store cards are generally only valid at the chain that you apply for. (Although the GAP card will also work at Banana Republic and Old Navy)

Just make a few small purchases on it for 3 months and then apply for a real credit card. You shouldn’t have any trouble getting approved.

Of course don’t forget to pay your bill on time, or else it will be a long time until you get approved for a real credit card!

Good luck, and enjoy the credit card mileage game while it lasts!

ATA has a pretty sweet deal for frequent travelers between the west coast and Hawaii.
You can purchase flight credits for trips to/from:
-Las Vegas, Phoenix, Oakland, Los Angeles, or Ontario, CA.
-And Maui, Honolulu, Kona, Lihue, or Hilo, Hawaii.
You must prepay for flight credits.
The cost per credit ranges between $8.64 and $11 depending on how many credits that you buy.
The minimum purchase is 150 credits for $1,650. The maximum is 700 credits for $6,049.
One-way flights start at 10 credits and go up depending on the day and season.

You can book travel with as little as 4 hours advance purchase-as long as there is a seat on the plane it is yours!

If you need to cancel booked travel-just do it at least 24 hours prior to flight time and there are no cancellation fees!

The only catch is that the credits can only be used by yourself and must be used within 12 months from the date of purchase!

Garmin Nuvi 650

This is $386 at Amazon!

This is an incredible price for the Nuvi 650. My experience with the Nuvi’s is that they are head and shoulders above any other portable GPS in terms of satellite lock speed, maps, user interface, design, portability, and many other features.

Best of all? Costco still has a lifetime return policy on GPS Navigators!

There’s no wonder airline CEO’s want consolidation. Mergers lead to less competition, fewer seats, and higher prices.
They also mean less pressure to maintain the value of their miles.
Here’s a quick look at America’s “Big 6″ carriers merger prospects:
Airlines are listed in order of size.


AA: Likely to look for a merger partner only in response to another merger or to break up a merger. Very likely to try to block any mega-mergers via anti-trust pressure.

Main Hubs: Chicago (ORD), Dallas (DFW), Miami (MIA)

Primary aircraft manufacturer: Boeing

Alliance: OneWorld.

Key strengths: World’s largest airline. AAdvantage is the first, the largest, and arguably the most generous frequent flyer program in the world.

Most likely partners: Continental, Delta.


United: Desperately seeking a partner since emerging from bankruptcy. CEO Glenn Tilton is the industry’s biggest proponents of consolidation.

Main Hubs: Chicago (ORD), Denver (DEN), Los Angeles (LAX), S. Francisco (SFO), Washington D.C. (IAD)

Primary aircraft manufacturer: Airbus and Boeing

Alliance: Star Alliance.

Key strengths: Trans-Pacific presence. Mileage Plus is right behind AAdvantage in terms of worth/size.

Most likely partners: Anyone!

Delta: Investors are pressuring to look for merger candidates.

Main Hubs: Altanta (ATL), Cincinnati (CVG), NYC (JFK), Salt Lake City (SLC)

Primary aircraft manufacturer: Boeing

Alliance: SkyTeam.

Key strength: Trans-Atlantic presence.

Most likely partners: AA, Continental, Northwest.


Continental: Northwest own a “golden share” of Continental that means Northwest will have to approve any Continental merger move that requires shareholder approval.

Main Hubs: Cleveland (CLE), Houston (IAH), Newark (EWR)

Primary aircraft manufacturer: Boeing

Alliance: SkyTeam.

Key strengths: Trans-Atlantic presence. NY area hub with full domestic/international network.

Most likely partners: AA, Delta, Northwest.


Northwest: Worst labor relationships in the industry, considered a last-resort partner by other airlines.

Main Hubs: Detroit (DTW), Minneapolis (MSP), Memphis (MEM)

Primary aircraft manufacturer: Airbus and Boeing

Alliance: SkyTeam.

Key strength: Trans-Pacific presence.

Most likely partners: Continental, Delta, United.


USAirways: Still struggling to overcome effects of the American West-USAirways merger.

Main Hubs: Charlotte (CLT), Las Vegas (LAS), Philadelphia (LAX), Phoenix (PHX)

Primary aircraft manufacturer: Airbus and Boeing.

Alliance: Star Alliance.

Key strengths: —

Most likely partners: United.

Post from November 16th, 2006’s Merger Rumor de jour Linky
I predicted then that USAirways’ $8,000,000,000 buyout would fall through.  I don’t recall, but seemingly I also had a lot of fun going through the hypotheticals of the merger…

The differences today?

-Gerald Grinstein, a major proponent of a standalone Delta, is no longer CEO.
-The buyout partner isn’t some two-bit airline, but one of the largest in the world.
-$100 oil is a reality, and not a distant nightmare.

I don’t know if Delta will merge with United, (even if they wanted to, the anti-trust pressures of creating the world’s largest airline would be massive) but it seems that here is a lot of internal and external pressure for market consolidation…and market consolidation is rarely ever good news for the consumer.

How many times have you called a company twice and gotten 2 different answers?

It happens to me all the time.

If I get a CS rep that doesn’t know what they are talking about, I’ll just hang up and keep trying until I get someone more knowledgeable.

Why can’t companies spend the money to educate their CS agents???

At any rate, here is an excellent example of clueless CS reps just making stuff up at Verizon Wireless.

56 phone calls, 56 different answers.

Just 1 out of 56 reps gave the correct answer to both questions asked.

Am I surprised? Not in the slightest.

Bottom Line: Take anything a CS agent tells you with a huge grain of salt-because it’s probably wrong!
