So-called "casual" games are all the rage, and
with good reason: They're fun, easy to learn, usually non-violent, and perfect
for those times when you have 5-10 minutes to burn. That's in contrast to your average first-person shooter,
role-playing game (RPG), massively-multiplayer online game (MMO), or the like,
which can consume entire weekends--and a good chunk of your paycheck.

Money Saving Tips
photo courtesy of Mom Smackley at FlickrI tend to hold on to
clothes until they're falling apart – stains on the cuff, rips at the
seam, and faded. In that condition, I don't feel right donating them to a
charity shop. But I also don't feel right just tossing old clothes in
the trash and adding to our ever-growing landfills. So I end up with
bags of unwanted clothes taking up space in my closet.
Recently
I stumbled across the bags while I was spring cleaning. Instead of just
tossing them back in the closet and forgetting for another year, I
decided to do find a way to re-purpose the clothes. Turns out, old
clothes have plenty of new uses, and I've saved a bunch of money reusing
something to boot.

Valentine's Day is just around the corner, which of course means that
blogs must fill their quotas of Valentine's Day posts. There's nothing
wrong with that. It also means that money-saving blogs must get their
yearly Valentine's Day money-saving ideas out of the way. The problem is
that the basics of how to have a frugal Valentine's Day aren't terribly
mysterious. And, in the never-ending quest to produce original content,
some otherwise good blogs wind up posting some bad tips.

Shop Smarter
A few weeks ago, Zappos customers were alerted that their personal
information--names, phone numbers, email addresses, billing and shipping
addresses, the last four digits from credit cards and more—was likely
accessed
by hackers from their database. The company's suggestion was for customers to immediately login to their account and change their password. But is that enough? How do you protect
yourself and your credit while shopping online?

Stuff We Like
While I usually write about current fashion trends that I
love and how one can achieve them for less, there are many current fashion
trends that I wish would die. While some
of these trends are fun, and some may be carried off by a few True
Fashionistas, these trends in general are not flattering, not very wearable,
and just need to leave the runway and the retailers.

Valentine's Day is exactly a week away, and you know what
that means…
….Red and pink decorations have overtaken the stores for
weeks now, and you've been eyeing those boxes of chocolate strategically placed
next to the check-out counter at Vons. I haven't been able to turn on the TV lately,
without catching a trailer for the newest rom-com. Holidays are being promoted
earlier, as stores spotlight their sales, and I can't be alone in thinking that
the past few months have seemed like an endless holiday, as
Thanksgiving-Christmas-New Years have melted into one ongoing event.

Does anyone else think it's ridiculous that after all these
years, Microsoft still charges a small fortune for its Office suite?
I'm referring to Office 2010 Home and Business, which has a
list price of $199.99. That nets you a license for one PC; if you want to run
it on a second system, tack on another $80.
