Balkhis Sweet Monday Link Love 01/19/09
So this is the first sweet monday post of 2009. Not only that but a lot of things are going around in my life as well as in the blogosphere that I would like to share. There are other things that are going on in local areas that you might want to see as well.
Well first of all, I don’t know how many of you guys keep track of NFL, but Pittsburgh Stealers defeated Ravens and Arizona Cardinals will be entering Superbowl for the first time after six decades. So that will be an interesting game to see. Also Superbowl advertising hits to to its records high in this dreadful economic period. 3 million for 30 seconds. Insane isn’t it.
Second major news is that Circuit City is closing down, so there is a liquidation sale that means good bargain. But fellow bloggers, make sure you compare prices before you buy anything. Second, I would recommend not to buy something very expensive because all sales are FINAL. So be careful.
Third news is for my female bloggers. I know a lot of females are interested in getting make up and other cosmetics. Well due to a major lawsuit big brands are giving out free $25 gifts. It will start on Tuesday. For detals read here.
Now lets come back to my life. I think it is time that I buy my own house. What do you guys think? Well I have already started paperwork with the bank. I have started looking around, and I have also started to call realtors and such. It is a long process, but I am hoping that I get a house. Lets see how that goes.

Hey, I am Syed Balkhi, The guy who is behind Balkhis Inc. I entered the industry back in 2002 not knowing a single thing. I barely spoke English at that time. In the past six years, my language barrier has been eliminated. Aside from English, now I also speak html, and php. Along with the languages I have also managed to master a few arts. Art of web-designing started when I first entered. Messing around with photoshop, I learned how to create my first web design. Now I founded a web designing firm Uzzz Productions. After running numerous amount of websites in various niche, I have mastered the art of web-development. Now I am compiling a resource of what I already know, and what I am learning on this blog. This resource is to help me if I ever need a guide to look back to, and it is help my fellow webmasters.

Yeah I know, I’ve heard about Circuit City and I can’t wait to hear when they are going to have their sales; yeah it is bad that they are closing but when life gives you lemons. The Stealers were crushing the raven before the half so I stopped watching it. Also what is up with this peanut butter scandal?
I went to Circuit City today looking for deals. Televisions were 10% off. Nothing else was on sale. There is an Office Max two big stores down and they had better prices on laptops. If laptops were 30% to 50% off, I’d convince the family member with the laptop from 2002 to upgrade to a new one but the deals just aren’t good enough.
Thanks for the update. I wonder if it is the same in every area.
Well if you do have the finance its a great time to buy a house because the prices are dirt cheap in America, so you can pick up quite a nice house I guess
Nice fresh content to read once again. Thanks for sharing !
