All That Zazz
A week or so ago apcmag had an article on bargains for geeks. One of the sites it mentioned was Zazz. Zazz is one of those bulk buy web sites where they get a whole load of a product and sell it at a discount. What sets Zazz apart is that they do all this on a daily basis, selling a different product every day.
Having bought more than my fair share of useless consumer geek stuff I had to check it out. Unfortunately I had just missed out on a bargain priced laptop but they did have something for a wino like me. Although I have more wine racks than sense I still had to get some of these funky hammock like racks.
So far I've been impressed by the service from the good folks at Zazz. Somehow I had put something silly down for the number of racks I wanted to buy. That didn't faze the folks at Zazz, a bloke from there rang me up to clarify things and that was that.
Tonight I just opened the package with the 8 wine racks, enough to store 24 bottles, I ended up ordering for around $35. They came with a bottle thermometer, which is simply a plastic strip thermometer stuck around a semi-cylindrical piece of metal which you just wrap around a bottle of wine. Yes I know, I should make more use of my digital camera and post some pictures, perhaps when I get around to posting about my trip to America last year...
Anyway whilst the thermometer was more of a gimmick than anything, the wine racks look pleasant enough. However I'm yet to assemble the racks, so I can't say too much for their sturdiness but I probably wouldn't want to stack them too much more than two up. So far so good in terms of Zazz service.
Tonight I ordered a couple of USB sound cards, should be give crisper sound and better amplification than the built-in sound on most laptops. Whilst the things I've seen on Zazz for sale so far are cheap, there haven't been any really useful bargains although I guess Zazz never really promised lots of really hot stuff often. Having said that though I'm sure it's only a matter of time before a nice laptop or card pops up again.

Hey Mate,
Thanks for the kind words - I've added you to Zazz's mates, a link found at the bottom of any page on the website. I hope you got a laptop yesterday, it was hella better than the first one.
Love,
