FEATURED SPECIAL | 02/13/09 – 02/20/09

If you’re on Facebook, become a Fan of Small Dog (and potentially win some fun prizes) by “clicking here.”:http://www.facebook.com/pages/Small-Dog-Electronics/18904017006

If you’re not on Facebook, consider signing up (whether you become a fan of Small Dog or not.) Facebook is “an online directory that connects people through social networks.” I personally enjoy using Facebook to keep in touch with far-flung friends, colleagues, and relatives. Sometimes it’s more fun to reach out on Facebook than via
email or IM.

Hope you join us!

The MacBook Air and newest MacBook Pros include Multi-Touch-capable trackpads that let you rotate, resize, and gesture your way through many common tasks. For instance, you can increase and decrease font size in Safari by making a pinching gesture with two fingers on the trackpad.

You can use three fingers swiped left or right to go forward or back in your browser history. I very recently discovered that the three-finger trick works in Mail on my MacBook Air: three fingers to the left gets you to the previous message, and three fingers swiped to the right gets you to the next message. Pretty cool!

I’m hoping to get some more snow over the next week so that we can show off some great winter conditions next weekend when my parents come up.

Next week, we’ll have more news, specials and other fun things for you. Thanks for reading this issue of Kibbles & Bytes!

Your Kibbles & Bytes team,

Valentine’s Day seems to conjure up very strong emotions–you either love it or hate it. Either way, you’ll need a soundtrack.

We’ve channeled our emotional sides to bring you some iTunes iMixes of love and loathing (“interestingly enough, so did NPR, even naming their playlist similarly!”:http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=100411956).

If you’d like to check out what Small Dog employees need to get them going, “click here to view our entire playlist.”:http://www.smalldog.com/imix The link to purchase our iMix will be featured there shortly!

*How to Make Your Own iMix*

An iMix is a playlist from your iTunes library that is published for all to view and purchase through the iTunes Store. To make your own, follow these steps:

* Create a playlist of your favorite songs in iTunes
* Click “Store” from the Menu Bar and select “Create an iMix”
* Name the playlist, provide a description and select Publish

Apple will notify you when your iMix has been published!

View specials while on-hand supplies last. Please note that some specials may not be available in our retail stores; check for availability.

See all specials on our “Specials Page.”:http://www.smalldog.com/specials

_Dear Friends,_

It’s Kali writing for Don this week, who is on week #2 of his African Safari. Things are (literally) quiet in the office here, because Ed is also on a vacation of sorts, along with three dogs. Ed is holding down the fort at Don’s house, so hopefully he is also getting in some nice relaxation time as well as some quality time on the slopes.

There is a lot going on here, though! Last week, our Sudoku challenge gave the clue of “Important Event” and out of all of our entries, we have picked a winner! Read more about that below. Today is also Friday the 13th, and per tradition, we have a “phobia” theme. I polled our Small Doggers and had them submit their biggest fears for all to see (thankfully, public humiliation on a national scale wasn’t one of them…).

In product-related news, we’re featuring specials on Apple software, which includes instant rebates on Final Cut Studio (save $200!), AppleCare and iLife, and rebates on iWork and MobileMe. For a limited time, we also have refurbished and used MacBooks between $729.99 – $929.99, new MacBooks from $949.99 and more previous-generation Apple products on the way (more on that next week). (Apologies for the sales-pitch, but we’re pretty excited about big sales on Apple stuff!)
