Who Knew Towels Could Be So Different


Kassatex Urbane 6 Piece Towel Set

This is another CSN stores review.     They are providing products to review such as luggage, back to school stuff, office supplies, the list is practically endless.  What I like about this outfit is that there is no attempt to direct my writing or influence it.   They provide products to review and they encourage me to go to any one of their more than 200 stores and choose the specific product I want to review.   How cool is that!

My most recent order was towels.   I know, how does that fit with Money Saving Tech Tips?   Well, it fits with the money savings part if not the tech part.   CSN made no attempt whatsoever to influence what I chose or how I wrote my review.   To me that speaks quite well for their confidence level in their site, their policies and their products.  

Like most guys, the only time I think about a towel is wondering why I didn’t hang it over the shower instead of leaving it across the room.   Imagine my surprise when I discovered that spending a little more on your towel gets you a lot more towel.   The bath towel is longer and wider with my svelte 225, 6’2” body that is important.   It is also more absorbent than my other towels.    Bottom line is I would suggest you check out a high quality towel at a medium quality price and still get free shipping.   I did get to keep the towels and if you have read any of my posts, you should know by now that if they were stinko, I would haven’t hesitated a second to tell you so.   Check’m out, you might be as pleasantly surprised as I was. 

I love being retired and writing!   This is so much fun.  

Stay tuned, who knows what I will pick to review?

 I sure don’t.

See it here, Soon!

Samsung FlipShot-ho hum

I just got the Samsung FlipShot aka SCH-U900. If you haven’t noticed by now, I am very family oriented, specifically focused on grandchildren. I frequently lament that I don’t have my camera on me. However, I always have my phone on me. Thusly I wanted a phone with a decent camera. The FlipShot comes close. Samsung claims it is a 3 megapixel camera with flash and zoom. The photos are not what I would consider decent from a digital camera but compared to my last phone/camera, they are much better. The phone has a slot for a micro sd memory card. I popped a 2gb card in there for saving my photos. I have not been able to find a way to default the photos to the memory card. You have to manually move them. I haven’t given up and perhaps in a software upgrade there will be a way to get them to the card without moving them manually. Getting them off of the phone is interesting. If you don’t buy Samsung’s charging/data cable, you can send them to yourself and get them on your pc that way. You ...

Troy-Bilt 2700 PSI 2.3 GPM Gas Pressure Washer Review

Troy-Bilt 2700 PSI 2.3 GPM Gas Pressure Washer Review Item #: 75140 | Model #: 20414 When I started this blog, I assumed I would be only talking tech. Well that led to philosophic musing and then comments on other stuff. I’m not sure where a pressure washer fits but regardless I am writing about it. I was power washing the mildew off the siding and thought the odor was the detergent I was using. When I looked over my shoulder and saw the grey smoke pouring out of the pressure washer, I realized what the odor really was. Considering the age of my venerable electric power washer, I concluded that discretion being the better part of safety and how water and electricity don’t play well, I trashed my old power washer. After much research, I found the Troy-Bilt 20414 was the best bang for the buck I could find. Keep in mind I am a consumer, not some testing house, so I make my purchases based on research and price point. I wanted electric but my boys who participated in the purchase, ...

3D Printing—Way, Way Cool

You may not be familiar with the term 3D printing but I bet you remember the replicator from Star Trek. Well kiddies, it is no longer just science fiction. Replication exists! Analog Science Fiction and Fact had a great article in the November 2008 edition called: “The 3D Train Wreck”. Thomas A. Easton, the author gave a great overview of the future of 3D printing. Simplistically, take your 3 dimensional CAD drawing and print it out on a laser printer that will print layers with some type of raw material. Each layer is adhered to the previous layer until you have a full three dimensional finished product. There are a variety of existing technologies that are doing this right now. Rapid-prototyping in industry is the biggest market right at the moment. Consider how incredibly convenient it would be to fabricate or replicate things right at home. My Polaris pool sweep needed a part yesterday. The part is unavailable, without the part the sweep doesn’t work. The alternative was to buy a...
