For Christmas, both my kids got Nintendo DSi’s as gifts from their grandparents. Life being as it is, I just now got around to registering their portable game consoles on the Club Nintendo website.
I’d already been to the site before when we received our Nintendo Wii for Christmas a few years earlier. I subscribed to the email newsletter and visit the site every now and then, but I hadn’t really dug into the features of the site.
What I really liked is that I can setup a family account and then logins for each of the kids. Then they can login to the site and organize things they way they would prefer.
Club Nintendo allows you earn points for doing a variety of items, like linking your Nintendo DSi shop accounts to your Club Nintendo accounts. I can also earn points, or coins as they count them, for completing surveys and registering more hardware devices and games.
The email newsletter lets me keep up-to-date on what’s available for the different consoles we have, what new games are coming out for each and what’s available in the Nintendo Wii ware section.
If you own any kind of Nintendo product, check-out Club Nintendo and get your gaming life organized and current online.
Plastic has really changed our lives. We should use it responsibly and recycle it whenever possible, but that’s not what I’m talking about here. I’m talking about finding the right piece of plastic you need and the U.S. Plastic Corp. website should be your first stop.
You could be looking for a little plastic piece, some kind of tubing, containers, plastic bags, scientific labware and even DVD cases. If it’s plastic, this place has probably got what you’re looking for on their site and in their warehouse.
It’s like walking into a giant hardware store, but instead of having all the stuff you’d find in a big hardware store, it’s 1,000′s of items that are all plastic.
I was looking for things like trash bags, found them! Recycling containers… found them! Bins for art supplies for the kids… yep, found them. Nalgene bottles to replace all those plastic drinking water bottles we use… absolutely. I’m telling you, it’s all here. They even have brand name products like Rubbermaid items, loads of great stuff.
Let me repeat, if you’re looking for something and it’s plastic… it’s more than likely available for purchase from the U.S. Plastic Corp. website.
You’ve heard it before. A picture is worth 1,000 words right? That may be true, but unless you’re a photographer yourself where are you going to find some great images. You can use a stock photo website, but then you need to be rich to afford the images.
With the stock.xchng website you don’t need to be a photographer or independently wealthy to get great images for your website or other creative project.
The stock.xchng website has some photos that you will need to pay for, but they also have a library full of images that can be used for free as well. The site allows you to search for images by keyword, which is what I usually do for most of my image searches.
The images available or high resolution and size so you shouldn’t have any problems finding what you need while you’re on the site. The stock.xchng site is normally the first place I go when I’m looking for an image. Rarely do I have to go searching anywhere else.
The next time you’re in need of uncovering a great image, visit the stock.xchng website first.
