Dear Friends,
I am sitting outside writing Kibbles in the sunshine in Key West while the crew in Vermont is shoveling up to 3 feet of snow and battling below zero temps. I am glad I am here, but I’m thinking of Grace as she is getting her snow tires off before driving down here with the three dogs. Spring is coming even though it might not seem so to Vermont right now!
Speaking of Spring, we have launched our March Mayhem promotions for this month to correspond with the NCAA tournament. We are offering great specials all month (both in-store and online), and next Monday, we are kicking off what we’re calling our “Half-Ass” Bracket contest, too. There are big prizes at stake, so check the page for more details.
As I am setting up my place down here, I have been upgrading to some of the newer home automation gear. We have been adding some new products in this category and will be adding more. I put in a Nest learning thermostat (which we do not have to sell yet) and I love being able to control my heating/cooling system from anywhere using my iPhone. I am also adding a Kevo Bluetooth keyset that uses Bluetooth on the iPhone to lock and unlock the door. I am moving all the incandescent lights over to LEDs to conserve energy, and am going to play around with some other home automation stuff so we can see which works and offer it to you, too. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
My special this week is three items that will help you set up your home office. I am bundling the HP LaserJet Pro P1102W Wireless Laser Printer w/AirPrint with a 27-inch Viewsonic LED display and a Kanex multi-sync Bluetooth keyboard with number pad all for only $409.99!
The HP LaserJet Pro is an AirPrint printer which means you can print wirelessly from your Mac, iPhone or iPad. The 27-inch display has built-in speakers and HD 1080P resolution, HDMI input and a great picture in a very slim package — perfect for a home office. The Kanex keyboard is wireless via Bluetooth and allows you to simultaneously pair with up to three devices (so you can have it paired to your Mac, iPhone, iPad or even your Apple TV). This bundle really completes your home office — all you need is that new MacBook Pro Retina to go along with it!
