Saturday Shopping Show

Black Friday is in full swing and Cyber Monday is a few days away. Time for hot deals but lots of questions, right? Tune in this Saturday at 11am as it will be one of our busiest days to answer questions about electronics and other products to make sure you are getting the best deals.

What is the best deal you found? Share it!

We'll talk with Leah Bird with AT&T Wireless about hot cell phones and PDAs. Also, Steve Janisse from GM will talk about the attributes of the new Saturn Vue - a great hybrid car with a nice price.One of my favorites companies, Energy Muse Jewelry, will also be spotlighted. Timmi Jandro and Heather Askinosie will talk about their special jewelry with healing properties. I've been wearing their stuff for years and their online business is growing rapidly.

Shop Til You Drop

It's late Thursday night and I can only imagine how many people are already lined up in front of stores to save a few bucks on a TV or microwave. And it's chilly, too.

Black Friday is here and I'm looking for horror stories, good deals, ripoffs, the best places to park and shop online. I'm sitting in for Joe Pags on KTRH from 9a-11a. I'll lean on you to provide comments about these questions while I work with the Clear Channel traffic department (or what's left of it) to tell you how packed mall parking lots are.

I'll also take emails while you are out and about and if you can send me a photo of your shopping experience I will even try to post them. The most creative ones get a prize.

My regular Saturday show on The 9-5-0 is a doozy. Got an interview with a dude from Palm and we'll give away a Palm Centro or two. But I also have a magician/psychic coming in to read minds. Who says local radio is dead??

Hook 'em Horns!

Houston, We Have A New Website

Launch. Complete.

By now you probably have seen our new website at www.hightechtexan.com. The boys from Dreamray came on my radio show last Saturday and flipped the switch while we were on the air. We quickly received several dozen emails with favorable comments and a smart suggestion or two.

The only non-flattering comment I remember reading was something about my choice of shirts. Noted.

Many people are taking the week off for Thanskgiving or at least slowing down a bit at work. A big topic on the show was online holiday sales. I mentioned that many sites likes Best Buy, Amazon, OfficeMax, Circuit City and Apple are rumored to have good deals beginning as early as this Thursday. If you find any sweet sales make sure to leave a comment here.

I sometimes wake up early on Black Friday to catch a few deals. I'll skip that this year as I will be sitting in for Joe Pags on KTRH between 9a-11a. Tune in as you are looking for a parking space (which could actually take up those entire two hours).
