Welcome to Something for Nothing

No, this isn’t a post about the different variety of Curry that you might purchase to make Indian food.

This is about checking out a site stock full of the latest and greatest Sat Nav or Satellite Navigation for you non technical people. We’ve all seem them or heard of them. They use GPS technology to show you almost exactly where you are on a map and show you which way to go next.

I was impressed by the selection of sat navs from Currys. They have TomTom, NavMan, Garmin, Gizmondo and much much more. More importantly, they have some very good product descriptions for those who don’t know much about sat navs and some nice technical details for those more advanced users.

I must admit that Currys is the first website that I’ve found that lists the products from cheapest to most expensive by default. That’s a major plus in my book for any site.

See it while it’s hot(and before it gets taken down). Benji Schwimmer appeard on Regis and Kelly. He does a little solo dance and then talks with Kelly. She seems sincerely excited about the guy. She has a little extra hop in her step. I also love when he just flings her around a couple times. I bet she liked that. I bet many of you would like that too. Maybe that’s what Benji should sell.

I don’t know if any of you have heard about Ethical Banking, but I hadn’t until recently. If I’m understanding this correctly, Ethical Banking is where a bank has to follow an Ethical Policy for all of the investments that a bank makes. Maybe I’m understanding this wrong, but I’m not understanding how this is really any different from any legitimate bank.

The site isn’t very well done. It looks like something that came out of the 90’s. Plus, they have way too many words on the site. I see a page FULL of text and I automatically turn it off. I need a list of the important bullet points with links to more information if I want it. The fact is that I probably don’t care about 3/4 of the information on there so give me the gist and access to the other information I think might be important.

I also got lost in the navigation of the site. The entire top bar linked to things I either didn’t care about or something that I don’t have access to. Those things should all be at the bottom. Except for the account logins which would be useful if I had an account.

The links are also not well done on the sidebar, because when I was on the ethical policy page I had to go back to the home page to get more information on the products the bank offers. From any page I should be able to easily have access to the product pages. If you want me to buy your product then I need to ALWAYS be able to find it.

Oh well, I could barely get past the logistics of the site. Would I trust sending my money to them?

It looks like they have Ethical Insurance also. That portion of the website was much better, but I was so turned off by the first that I couldn’t look anymore.

When I was looking around YouTube to see some more So You Think You Can Dance Videos I found another video for Benji Schwimmer. Although, it isn’t the typical video. It looks like a 5 year old girl(yeah, I know that’s just the age of their actions) made a video about Benji sucking. I guess they wanted Travis to win and so now they’re taking it out on Benji. Luckily, since someone with the maturity of a 5 year old created the video I’m sure Benji would laugh at the video also. Benji would probably be more sympathetic than me because he likes Travis’s dancing skills too. Travis has never done anything for me.
