Boost Mobile SANYO Incognito

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Boost Mobile. All opinions are 100% mine.


Boost Mobile is launching a new Phone created by SANYO called the Incognito. Just take a look at this thing:
Sanyo Incognito
So stylish! The SANYO Incognito doesn't just look amazing, it comes with all the bells and whistles. It's GPS enabled, has the hands-free speakerphone, the full QWERTY keyboard, a digital camcorder, a 2 MP camera, a sweet 2.6" high res display, one of those cool glow-through touch screens, Blutooth ready, and so much more!
Sanyo Incognito Keyboard
If you are one of those people who like to do everything on your phone (listen to music, find your way around, browse the web, etc.) then you are going to want to check out their Unlimited plan. With the SANYO Incognito™ SCP6760 you can get unlimited talk, text, and web all for just $50 a month! And the best part about the whole thing is that you don't even have to worry about getting a contract. Since most phone companies want to get you to sign a 2 year contract when you buy a phone this is a really nice change. You can get the SANYO Incognito for just $129.99 which also comes with free shipping. If anyone does get their hands on this phone, let me know how you like it!

The Cirque du Soleil Banana Shpeel Shows

I don't know if any of you have ever been to The Cirque du Soleil, but I'll tell you that's it is definitely the best show that I have ever been to. The acrobats are absolutely amazing. And you really need to see what the little Asian girls can do with these yo-yo type things. It sounds weird but I'm telling you that you are going to be blown away. I've been to several broadway shows, stomp, operas, and things of that nature but this show is so much different and fun. After seeing the video for their new show called Banana Shpeel, I can't wait until it comes to my town. Check out the site and learn more about it http://bit.ly/Zefsq. Currently, it looks like it's only opening up in Chicago and New York and unfortunately, I won't be able to get out of time anytime soon. This show is going to be another hit from The Cirque du Soleil. If you like to laugh, have a great time, and see some amazing dancing, I'm sure this show will be right up your alley. If you have a significant other who hasn't seen a Cirque du Soleil show yet, this is your perfect opportunity to score some points :) Take a look at the video preview!

Trick or Treat Me

There is a fairly new charitable website called Trick Or Treat Me which is striving to offer parents healthy tips for the upcoming Halloween season! You know how important it is to keep your child healthy. I, for one, am not a fan of kids eating all of that unhealthy garbage during Halloween. I'm sure each year they lower their life expectancy by 2 or 3 years just during Halloween! So, what this website is trying to accomplish is to bring you new ideas for healthy trick or treat items by offering coupons for organic and green items. It's really a great thing for your child and the environment. They also have a Trick Or Treat Me area at the top of the site which lets you put in send the ideas to your friends. For every trick or treat you send to your friends, Tetra Pak will donate 10 cents to the WWF (World Wildlife Fund). The will also get info about the deals as well. This is really a win win situation for everybody involved. You also need to check out Trick Or Treat Me on Twitter. For each trick or treat you tweet out they will also make the same donation to the World Wildlife Fund. Everyone should get involved for this great charity event!

Charter Contest - Win a 2010 Camaro 2SS!!

Charter is running a Camaro Sweepstakes in which they are giving away a brand new 2010 Camaro. How sweet is that? You may remember Charter as being the company who gave away laptops, HDTVs, Xbox 360s, and even a hybrid car. Well, now they've upped the ante. This car is equipped with all sorts of goodies like a 426hp engine, XM radio, OnStar, and it looks awesome. You can see all of the specs over on the website. The new Camaro is currently one of the hardest cars to get in America and Charter is giving it away for free. I suggest you also check out Charter on Facebook and follow Charter on Twitter because it seems like they are always trying to give away something. Another cool thing about Charter is the gift cards you get when you buy their services. If you buy 3 services you get a $100 gift card, if you buy 2 services you get a $50 gift card, and if you buy 1 service you get a $25 gift card. A good deal if you ask me. At any rate, the Camaro Sweepstakes runs from September 15th to November 26th. Get on over there and sign up to win yourself a car :)

LG Contest

I just put a widget on the sidebar of my blog for a contest for LG that is running from 9/11/09 to 11/6/09. It's pretty awesome.. all you need to do is upload a video or image of something you find super ugly and need to lose and you have a chance to win! For the contest, there will be five grand prize winners who will be taking home a BRAND NEW LG Bliss phone. Take a look at the picture below, it looks pretty sweet.



There will also be 50, yes FIFTY, secondary prizes who will be winning a $50 gift card to purchase your own bliss. There is one slight catch, however, you must be 18 years old or older to enter the contest- sorry for all of my juvenile readers :( Now here is how you can enter: Go to their LG Bliss Facebook Fan Page and upload your picture or video. It's free to upload, so don't worry about that. Be sure to pick a good one though because you are only allowed to upload 1 per Facebook account. You can browse through the all the other uploads to see how you match up. The one I am going to upload is below. Good luck to everyone!

Rehab on truTV. Party at the Hard Rock.

I was watching the season premiere of truTV's Rehab last Tuesday and just thought to myself, "wow". This show is just totally out of control. If you are a fan of reality TV, this is definitely a show you are going to want and check out. Take a look at this preview:



That looks like a good time doesn't it? It's definitely one of those shows where you have to like watching stupid people do stupid things. Not sure if any of you saw the last season, but this one looks to be just as crazy. Seeing stuff like this reminds me of the craziest party I ever went to in high school (of course, it was one of my parties). A couple hundred high school kids and alcohol out in a huge field is just a recipe for disaster. But, even with a road block and lots of interrogation, the cops never found me. That's how I roll. At any rate, if you haven't seen this show check it out tomorrow at 10 pm Eastern. You won't regret it. And while you are at it, check out the sweepstakes running on truTV's site where you can win a chance to party with them here: Sweepstakes. Good luck!

WaiverWire.com Fantasy Football Draft

It's about that time again. Football season is starting back up! It feel like it's been several years (realistically it has only been 6 months) since I last watched a football game so I can't wait. And what's great about football season starting? You guessed it.. fantasy football! Since I'm a University of Florida alumni, my fantasy football strategy is pretty much to pick as many of the ex-Florida gators that I can find. This year should be a good year for me because I'm banking on Percy Harvin. I'm hoping he can even do half of what he did in college at the NFL level. That would still make him an amazing pick for the fantasy league. Over on WaiverWire they have something you can sign up for called the "Stimulus Package" where you can get access to all sorts of fantasy football goodies absolutely free. It's a $20 value which allows you to check all sorts of stats, news on your players, live game day leaders, depth charts, picks of the week, etc. Everyone who enjoys fantasy football will get a lot of great features by signing. I encourage all of you to do so. Last but not least, good luck to everyone in the upcoming season!

Black Gold on TruTv

There is an upcoming show on TruTV called Black Gold. The creator of the show is Thom Beers- the same guy who brought us the awesome shows Deadliest Catch and Ice Road Truckers. His new show will be following a group of Texas oil drillers who have only 50 days to drill 4 holes in the unforgiving oil fields of West Texas. You need to check out truTV's Black Gold trailers, which I have embedded below.





As you can see, this should be an action-packed adventure. If you've watched Deadliest Catch, the newly seasoned workers on that show are called "greenhorns". Out in the oil rigs, they coined their own name for the newbies which is "roughnecks". Could you imagine being one of these roughnecks and getting yelled at like that? I mean, you don't even know what the hek you are doing out there! I guess it just goes with the territory.

Just like in the other shows Beers has created, these guys can't make any mistakes or they risk losing their lives. I'm glad I can just sit at a desk all day :) Let me know if any of you get into this show, it looks awesome and I can't wait for the premiere TONIGHT!

Laptop Takeover

Hello friends and foes. You are most likely always expecting current author and editor of this blog, Trust Me, to write all the posts. However, on this fine day I, the laptop, have taken over! It's not everyday I get to vent my frustrations so I will take this very seriously. I am currently almost 3 years old, which in computer years is about 63. I need a lot of help to be back up to speed from where I was when I was born. I feel so slow and worthless. I'm heading towards retirement fast. My keys are are very dirty and my joints are getting squeaky when I open and close. I have lots of scratches and wear on my front and backside. My once shiny coat is now dulled out from use and neglect. Also, with other new ones like me coming around every couple of weeks, I'm feeling a little bit overweight. There are new HP laptops which are sleek and lightweight which are making me very jealous. I wish I could look like one of those beauties. Shiny keys, best resolution screen out there, very fast thinker- all the attributes my human friends could ask for. Although I'm pretty much done for, I wanted to give anyone out there the opportunity to buy one like me, only 10x better. I'm going to show you a link to a beautiful laptop and give you a coupon for some great savings. You must use it by 8/23/09! See the details below. Thanks for hearing me out!

Get $500 off instantly when you purchase an HP HDX 16t with $300 coupon code NBN3248 + $200 Instant Rebate. Valid through 8/23 or while supplies last. Restrictions and exclusions apply.

Web Hosting

I know that I won't need any webhosting lasting for more than 3 years since the world is ending in 2012, but there is this pretty cool site, http://webhostingrating.com/, where you can compare prices, space given, and allotted traffic. It's pretty crazy that you can get what appears to be unlimited space and traffic from a few of these for under 4 bucks a month. I did recently purchase my own domain and have been thinking about hosting as well. If any of you are looking for a new place to host your blog or web page, I would suggest checking this site out. They also have a top 10 list of hosts which they suggest and give their own review on the product. Looks like the one that is currently in the lead is InMotion hosting. I haven't heard much about InMotion hosting, but then again, I haven't really been interested in web hosting until recently. Anyone out there really like the web host they are currently using? I would like to hear about it. Thanks!

truTV Reaction

Have you ever been watching TV and suddenly realize that you were yelling at the top of your lungs? Or how about been watching a show and then suddenly your friend hits you and says something like "OMG! Did you see that?!!" The biggest thing with me when watching TV or movies is definitely seeing people getting hurt or in pain. I'm always wincing or actually turning away because I can't stand to watch! Some people just love that kinda stuff but I am the complete opposite. All of these kinds of reactions you can expect when watching truTV. I like to call it the truTV effect. I think the show that has me talking to the TV the most on truTV is World's Wildest Vacation Videos. You can usually hear me saying stuff like "wowwwwwwwww" or "my God!" But remember, you have to be careful when you are getting into your TV shows. You never know if your neighbors are listening in! This video is a pretty awesome representation of what your neighbor might think if you are being too loud! For all of you that live in a apartment or condo, you know your neighbors can hear you.



LOL this other video is great too. You know that you have a friend like this!

Yamaha neoHD Remote

I don't know about you guys, but I have lots gadgets which use a remote in my living room. My TV, cable box, Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii all need a separate remote.

Do you know how confusing it is for my guests just trying to turn the TV on? Even with a written set of instructions, my parents couldn't even figure it out. That's where the new remote, Yamaha neoHD, comes into play. I can't even imagine how much easier my life would be if I only had one remote to control everything. Check out the diagram below for an example of everything you can connect to this single remote:



Another cool thing about this remote is the design. You would think that if a remote could control so many things it would have to be huge, or have tons of buttons. But, this remote is actually very small and extremely user-friendly. Take a look at it below:

Yamaha neoHD remote

Now if my parents can't figure this one out, there is no hope for them! The remote GUI is just as simple as the remote itself. Starting off, you just choose from 3 options: Watch, Listen, or Play. From there you just select what you want to do and it walks you through to the next step. Anyone could figure this out!

Hopefully you have read down this far, as you could win one of these remotes by entering the Yamaha neoHD Sweepstakes ! There are a few ways to win so just follow that link and read the instructions :) I suggest leaving a comment and let them know why you could use one. Also, you should find Yamaha on Facebook and follow their updates and promotions! Good luck to everyone!

Go Green in Switzerland

Picking out a place for your next vacation destination can be a daunting task. But, if you are in the green kinda mood, why not visit the country that Yale listed number one on its Environmental Performance Index? The EPI measures water resources, environmental health, productive natural resources, and air pollution. And according to Yale, the sustainable Switzerland energy ranks at the top.

Now that you've chosen Switzerland as your destination, how will you be green once you get there? The trains are very accessible and are the most efficient way of traveling around Switzerland. And we all know that traveling by train is one of the most eco-friendly ways to travel. Many of the hotels and resorts you can find in Switzerland are green friendly. When booking a Swiss hotel, be sure to make sure your accommodations are green. Also, Switzerland is a very bike friendly nation. With bike paths, bike lanes in the cites, bike trails, bike rentals, and even traffic signals for bicyclists, you will find traveling by bike is eco-friendly and fun! While traveling around be sure to keep your eye out for the abundance of Switzerland's organic products. Last but not least.. have fun when you get there!

Charter Brings Us Sweepstakes

Charter Communications has a new promotion running called Laptop-a-Day Sweepstakes which is going on from July 15th - Sept 15th (that's 2 months!). Coming off the recent success of their HDTV-a-day promo, they are kicking off this new sweepstakes for all the kids going back to school. The winners of the promotion will get an HP 550 Notebook 15-inch with Windows Vista and a NeoTec Compu Backpack. I went ahead and registered myself and it's really easy. There are also some special internet offers where if you buy one of their services you will receive a gift card for either $100, $75, or $25 (depending on which bundle you get). Taking a look at the list of gift cards you can choose from, it looks like there are about 25 which include clothing retailers, home and accessories shops, restaurants, and a few others. You definitely you want to either follow Charter on Twitter or get Charter on Facebook. They are always running online contests/promotions and last year along with giving away laptops and other goodies, someone even drove away with a 2009 Honda Civic Hybrid. Tough to beat a new car for free, right?! So go ahead and enter for your chance to win.

Phatband: The Internet Speed You Need

Is your internet speed holding you back? Is your cable/DSL offering you sluggish speed between 1-5 Mbps? I was reading about this new broadband making it's way to the market called Phatband. Phatband is offering speeds up to 60 Mbps. Yes, not 6 but 60. If you are reading this post I'm guessing that's at least 10x faster than what you are currently using. Check out the Ultra60 Information Page here. If you are a gamer, an avid downloader, or love to stream HD movies to your home, this is the kind of speed you would die to have. I will be getting this in a heartbeat when it comes to my area. Unfortunately, right now the service is only available in St. Louis. But, throughout 2009 they will be opening it's doors to other areas. So keep yourself updated with Charter’s Twitter Feed for the latest news and releases. It seems that people nowadays (usually old people) always think the solution for a slow computer is getting a new one. I guarantee you over half the time they just have a horrible connection. Set them up with something like this and it will blow them away.

Need a Vacation Before the World Ends?

I know I surely do. I'm actually pretty fortunate in that aspect since I live in Florida so I have plenty of places within driving distance. There is a new roller coaster that opened up at SeaWorld called Manta that actually looks really awesome. SeaWorld is more known for their scenery/wildlife than their rides, but I have to say that after check out the site this ride looks really fun.


They also have a really nice promotion going on where when you buy a ticket to SeaWorld you get a ticket to either Aquatica or Busch Gardens absolutely free. Usually, the other theme parks offer you to come back to the same place for a discount or something similar to that. What makes this promotion good is that you get to visit a completely new park for free.. pretty sweet! I've actually been to Aquatica and it's a fun place. It's a nice place to escape the central Florida heat if you don't want to drive all the way beach. Hopefully I can find a day to clear out and head over to SeaWorld, I need a break!

Armani Denim Sale

Hello fellow readers. I come to you bringing deals! I was just checking out some jeans over at Armani Exchange and it looks like they are starting out at on $98. Of course, knowing what I know about the world's demise, I skip right over the $98 pairs and go to the top tier jeans. I have no need for a savings account and neither should you! I think my favorites are either the Pierced Slouch Fit, the Hand Sanded Straight Leg, or the Overdyed Zipper Straight Leg. The colors are nice and you know with a name like Armani you are buying quality jeans.



Now for the contests and coupons! If you buy a pair of jeans at full price between today and July 19th, you will receive $20 off your next purchase of $100 or more (the coupon will be valid between 7/30/09 and 8/15/09). In our dwindling economy, $20 is a nice extra bonus. And lastly, they have a contest running in which you can win a pair of denim every day for the month of July! All you need to do to enter is text A|X the keyword "DENIM2" to the number ARMANI (which is 276264). You will also have the chance to get ringtones and wallpapers for free and you will be kept up on new collections and arrivals. Good luck to all in the contest!
