From the guys at BuyTwoWayRadios... the Blackbox Base station that I've posted about a couple of times.
A jack of many hobbies and a master of none - spending lots of time on amateur/ham radio, running, and technology.

Baojie BJ-218: Manufacturer's Web Site
A link to the manufacturer's page for the Baojie BJ-218. There is a download section, but it only contains a brochure and a spec sheet at the moment - no software. And nothing on their download pages either.
The 409Shop does have a download link [.rar], but I like to see if the manufacturer has something different.

Weather Alert Radio System
This seems like a crazy deal... an Eton ZoneGuard+ Weather Alert Radio System with Wireless Alert Modules for $10. It's weather alert radio plus modules you can place throughout your house, so you can be notified anywhere.
Cheap Amazon Prime
You've probably seen this elsewhere, but if you want (need?) Amazon Prime, you can get it for $67 today only.

Selling Used Phone
Wished I'd known Amazon will take used phones. I think I would have gotten a few more dollars for my iPhone 5.

Technology Good for Jobs
So we aren't all going to be replaced by robots...
"Their conclusion is unremittingly cheerful: rather than destroying jobs, technology has been a “great job-creating machine”. Findings by Deloitte such as a fourfold rise in bar staff since the 1950s or a surge in the number of hairdressers this century suggest to the authors that technology has increased spending power, therefore creating new demand and new jobs.
In the case of Ashley Madison, robots are just supplementing the number of women.
