Free NPR Music at SXSW Sampler on iTunes

Posted By admin on March 10, 2010

I’mimage not familiar with the songs on the NPR Music at SXSW Sampler on iTunes, but they’re free, so I downloaded them anyway. I’ll listen to them when I get done with work later today. Until then, the rest of you can check them out.

To get the deal, you’ll need to have iTunes installed on your computer & download the songs by April 30, 2010.

To buy your cooperation, they’re offering guests a Coffee Journey card. If you purchase a brewed coffee every week for eight weeks & track your experience on the Coffee Journey card, Starbucks will give you a free one-pound bag of whole bean coffee.

Your Old Jeans = 30% off New Jeans at The Gap through March 14

Posted By admin on March 10, 2010

As I type this,image I’m wearing a pair of oh-so-comfy yet oh-so-worn-out jeans. They’re beyond pitiful looking, and it’s time for them to go. Assuming that I can bear to part with them, I may need to take advantage of this deal: If I bring my old jeans to The Gap, I can save 30% on a new pair.

Even better: The deal is good at GapKids and babyGap stores, too, so if nothing else, I’ll be taking my kids’ jeans with worn knees to the store to get them some new ones. And if I had a GapCard (which I don’t), I’d save 35%, too (Old Navy or Banana Republic cards work, too).

The deal is valid through March 14 while supplies last. There’s a limit of one coupon per customer per transaction.

Thanks to Teresa at Miami FL on the Cheap for the lead.

If I lived closer to the Atlanta-area Bass Pro Shops, imageI’d definitely take the girls to this event.

Free eBook Download of Human Goodness by Yi-Fu Tuan

Posted By admin on March 9, 2010

This week, imageThe University of Wisconsin Press is offering a free ebook download of Human Goodness by Yi-Fu Tuan. I saved a copy of this book so that I can read it; it sounds interesting: “What does it mean to be good?…Combining autobiographical reflection and philosophical investigation with sketches of exemplary men and women throughout history, Tuan probes the many faces of goodness—from simple courtesy to heroic acts of altruism—and suggests a common and complex thread which unites them.”

Thanks to Nadine at Madison on the Cheap for the lead.
