Happy Thanksgiving. Now get ready to shop.

Happy Thanksgiving. If you're surfing dad blogs now and not watching football or getting dinner ready, then I'm guessing you either don't like football, or you're like me and at the house of someone who's one television is in their bedroom.

In that case, you might as well get a jump start on your holiday shopping. Before you go out into the wild tomorrow, check out what all the sweet sales will be today on a web site I found - Black Friday Ads.net. If you're going to brave the crowds, you might as well be prepared.

Ikea Hacker

So I was looking at the Twitter Public Timeline today and I saw a post that caught my eye - Ikea Hacker. Maybe I'm late to the party, but this is a pretty sweet idea for a blog. Anyway, the top post was about how to hack together a pretty cool girl's bed (pictured).

I've always loved how Ikea keeps good design affordable, but you kind of have to use it in small doses. Making adjustments so things will fit your life is just smart. And if you screw it up don't worry, it probably didn't cost you much in the first place.
