So tonight I decided to test out the publishing abilities of the Kindle network.
First and foremost I needed to get a pad of paper and a pencil to write a little
short story. I got the short story done in a little under an hour and quickly
filled in all the required info to submit it to the Kindle Publisher’s
program. Now you can’t give away something for free on Kindle because
that’s how Amazon pays for it’s EVDO Whispernet. The minimum price you
can set is 25 cents so I did. I’m not out to profit from this short story
but who knows, in the future I wouldn’t mind too much.

<p>Below you’ll find some useful tips and strategies that I used in the past
to get my way at various retailers.

<b>Getting Help at Best Buy</b>
<br />
Even during the off-season it is almost impossible to get help at Best Buy. The
best thing to do is start out by heading toward the high-ticket items (laptops).
Eyeball the most expensive laptop and look like you’re in need of
assistance. When a sales associate approaches you tell them that you’re
thinking about getting this laptop but you’ll also need 4 accessories to go
with it (this is where they make money), and you would like them to help you
getting the product that you actually want. In order to get that laptop sale with
accessories they’ll escort you around the store to where you’d like to
go and help you get everything else that you needed. When you’ve gotten what
you need simply say thanks and proceed to the 3 hour cash register line.
They’ll probably insist that you walk back over to the computer department
to be checked out at the Mobile register. At that point simply tell them that
you’ve had second thoughts about the laptop purchase and that you
don’t want to get it today.
</p>
<p>
Here’s the problem with Best Buy: Normal associates aren’t
commissioned but their managers are. Because of that you then have a situation
where the associates only want to please their manager even if that means
neglecting certain customers completely. Of course I understand the need for
associates to make big sales but there is a larger portion of customers making
smaller sales that are getting neglected almost all the time.

<p>Normally I wouldn’t post about such an off topic item so this one is
destined for the “Warm & Fuzzy” section.
</p>
<p>
Deep frying a Turkey is perhaps the best way to prepare a Thanksgiving meal. Mmm,
just the thought of the succulent meat… this is why I’m only a
vegetarian part time. If you’ve never deep fried a Turkey I wouldn’t
recommend it this time around because you’ll need time to practice so you
don’t overdue it and/or turn your backyard into a raging inferno (it has
almost happened before).
