OK, so I know it has been forever since I last wrote a post. But, I will make it up to you!

Here are some awesome websites that you will find VERY useful!

• Job Compass: This helps you find job listings around your area. All you need to do is insert the job field you want, your zip code and the mile radius you want to your job search to be in. You can even check it on your iPhone while you’re on the street searching what is near you.

• De-Bee: This website is GREAT if your living with roommates and you need to divide bills. This keeps track of who owes who so no one forgets to pay their IOU’s!

• Smarty Pig: is a savings account website that allows you to set goals on what you are saving for. You can also invite friends and family to view what your goals are also allowing them to contribute to you’re cause!

• Price Protectr: If you want to buy something but want to wait until the price goes down, here is that website that will alert you! Some of the stores they track are Amazon, Best Buy, and The Apple Store.

Hopefully now you will have other ways of finding a job, keep track of who owes you, save some money and get donations and find cheap deals! Enjoy.

I didn’t know how long my anti-virus had been expired but I know it had been awhile.

Then I remember that CSUN students could get “free” (I use the word “free” freely because technically we pay for it through tuition, although it does come at a low price)  anti-virus through the Information Techonology (IT) website.

If you just go down the left side bar to the Software Downloads tab and insert your CSUN login information it will give you a list of the software that you can download either to your PC or MAC.

The majority of the programs that are offered you can get free online, all except the Symantec Anti-Virus Corporate Edition which you can only download once.

Downloading your Anti-Virus is quick and easy, but if you don’t feel comfortable doing it yourself you can go to the IT help desk or give em’ a call.

Located: Oviatt Library, Room 29

Call: (818) 677–1400

Here is map to find them.

Enjoy.

I was astounded today when I learned what Snuggies and ShamWow’s are. It took me awhile but I finally looked into them.

I can believe the credibility behind the ShamWow, which recently won a “As Seen On TV ” contest on CNBC.com, by being voted #2 in the best Household/ Automotive section and beating the Snuggie in round 2. Now the Shamwow is up against the #1 George Foreman grill in the Kitchen/Food section. About 10,400 people have voted to place these two items in these top ranking positions. The final votes are still being collected here.

But, to me the Snuggie is questionable. I agree with Jay Leno when he said, “Why don’t you put your robe on backwards? That’s all it is.”

Apparently, the Snuggie has sold 4 million since September! That is a large amount considering that we are in a recession. There is also a Snuggie fan page on Facebook with about 6,000 fans.

You would think that people wouldn’t spend their money on Snuggies, I guess commodities are still just as important as necessities.

One comment on the Snuggie’s Facebook fan page written by Lee Witte says, “… When the economy is in the dumps people look for comfort and the Snuggie provides it. LOL.”

Another fan, LeAnne Nielsen wrote, “I think the snuggie should be combined with the ShamWoW, the SnugWoW. That way if you spill on yourself you don’t have to get off the couch.”

What do you think?
