I’ve written about this in the past. But, I figured today would be good for a reminder.

The DMV’s website states the following:

Q: When do the new wireless telephone laws take effect?
A: The new laws take effect July 1, 2008.

Q: What is the difference between the two laws?
A: The first prohibits all drivers from using a handheld wireless telephone while operating a motor vehicle, (Vehicle Code (VC) §23123). Motorists 18 and over may use a “hands-free device.” Drivers under the age of 18 may NOT use a wireless telephone or hands-free device while operating a motor vehicle (VC §23124).

While the fine is only $20 for the first offense and $50 for any additional violations… it would be quite an inconvenience to be pulled over. And $20 is almost 4 gallons of gas!!!

If you do happen to break the law Headset.com will give you a  Plantronics Discovery 925, which retails at $149.99. This information was found on CNET.COM.

You can also get a free headset without breaking the law with FreeHeadset.Org. The one downside with these headsets is that they are not Wireless. But, if you want to skip the drama of having to keep your bluetooth headset synced and charged… This might be perfect for you. There are also some of you out there with dinosaurs that don’t have Bluetooth capability.

Either route you decide to take, I wish you good luck and safe driving!

Part of my day is spent watching CNBC. Lately, it is akin to watching a bad horror movie. There isn’t any actual story line, the plot sucks, and the villian is an idiot.

As of this moment Crude Oil is at $141.84. I wouldn’t be suprised if it hit $150 by friday. It wouldn’t be 4th of July without higher gas prises. How Patriotic.

I recently signed up for Social Spark and Pay Per Post. My blog was not originally intended to be a source of income… But, after being laid off last July and the housing market being so terrible… I needed to find an extra way of paying the bills!

I have decided to only write about items that either interest me or would be a good thing for my readers.

Some times I just search the web and follow links from one site to the next. Today I ran into the Human Development Handbook.

There are quite a few interesting and enriching articles on this site. Including but not limited to:

I came across this site today while I was looking for a promotional code to save money at the Puma store. I signed up; which was incredibly easy… put in my e-mail address and create a password. After searching for Puma and following the link I was able to get 6% back on my purchase. The cash will be deposited back into my E-bates account in 2-3 days. In addition I received a $5 sign up bonus.

This isn’t a way to make money per se… but to spend less money on things you would be purchasing anyway.

The site is incredibly easy to navigate and is laid out in a way that makes it simple to find the store you are looking for.

I was not paid to make this post; I just think it is a very good idea. I am already a member of MyPoints which is a similar service. But, they give you points towards gift cards, etc instead of cold hard cash! Continue Reading »
