Ignoring all the Chapelle Show nonsense, there’s no denying that Rick James was a bad motherfucker. His hair could pollute the pin feathers of an arctic duck at forty paces and he often wore spacesuits made from Rue McClanahan’s lingerie.

• We know that all hard drive manufacturers are probably about the same, but we just can’t bring outselves to buy the Maxtor 300GB 7,200RPM, 16MB Buffer PATA Hard Drive. We’ve just had too many Maxtor drives bite the dust or wipe out our data. But we also suspect we may be under a very specific curse, so don’t let our hellish experience stop you. Besides, you should be buying two at a time anyway.

Five Tips for Buying Dell
By 2.9.06
DealHack’s Dell Buyer’s Guide might not be spanking new, but they’ve got a lot of practical advice on picking out a new PC or laptop. While it’s probably worth visiting the article itself—it’s a lot more in depth—here’s the gist:

• Amazon has the SanDisk 2GB Ultra II Secure Digital Memory Card for $88, shipped free. We’re considering buying it, despite the fact that SD is our least-used memory card format.

• Having just received a very nice set of DeWalt tools for our birthday, we have no need of Amazon’s Two-Day Tool Sale. We remain intrigued, however, by a coupon code that works just for ladders: $50 off $250 code LADDER50 and $25 off $125 code LADDER23.

• Shattered Hopes Sale of the Day: Drugstore.com’s 72-hour online sale. There is a serious lack of the good stuff. Still, some prices up to 50% off, and up to 29% of their full line of Vibratex vibrators.

The Consumerist Shops: Beanie Bargains
By 1.30.06
We recently used Etsy to commission a hand-knit beanie for just $15 from the lovely Nguyen Le, whose work we had see after a post on BoingBoing detailing her knitted ‘power cord’ belt. We like commissioning things—it makes us feel important—and it’s nice to think that one’s money is going directly to the person who made your custom kit. (We’re using a picture of Nguyen’s awesome Tangerine Felted Bag, because while our beanie is lovely, that bag is ever more so.)

• In places in the midwest, there is an almost religious respect given to the mighty Chipotle. We suspect it is not that their burritos are so excellent, although they are certainly good, but that in our fast food nation, food that actually uses fresh vegetables should be cherished. Chipotle is running a promotion that will probably make the college boys go even wilder: Buy a $5 gift card between now and the 11th, bring the receipt back between the 12th and 14th, and receive a free burrito. Value! [via SlickDeals]

• Amazon is taking pre-orders for the iRobot Scooba, the floor-washing counterpart to the Roomba, for $400. We are unduly excited about this product, but we really recommend waiting until some reviews come out before dropping four bills. There is also some question as to whether or not a Scooba owner will be tied to purchasing only the Clorox-branded cleaning solution, or if something can be whipped up at home. But still, new robot! Coupon code JANCLEAR takes off $25.

Loompanics Going Out of Business Sale
By 1.24.06
Alternative bookseller and publisher Loompanics—and by ‘alternative,’ we mean titles like ‘ADVANCED TECHNIQUES OF CLANDESTINE PSYCHEDELIC AND AMPHETAMINE MANUFACTURE,’ ‘SATAN SPEAKS!’ and ‘HOW TO DATE YOUNG WOMEN’—is going out of business. They’ve put all their titles on sale for a flat 50% on a first-come, first-serve basis. With topic areas from ‘Anarchism and Egosim’ and ‘Head for the Hills’ to ‘Prison’ and ‘Rock and Roll,’ Loompanics provides a wide variety of information for those who seek to step outside the norms of society—or at least impress high school crushes on Girls Who Do.
