Yo Pups,

We finally got some snow this week — so much so that the Mall in NH was closed and most of our Manchester team got a day off.

Here in Waitsfield, the skiers were ogling the snow accumulation, and Artie, our first employee ever, took advantage of Hapy’s and my understanding with him that we won’t expect to see him on “powder” days. I just kept checking out the cameras in Key West and wondering what I was doing in the snow. Okay, I guess I know why, and the snow is beautiful as it comes down and turns everything newly and freshly white, but…

I just read that the Olympic committee had directed athletes to cover their Apple logos on their iPhones, or not use iPhones at all because Samsung is a sponsor of the Olympics. They gave each one a useless Android phone in their goodie bags. Somehow, I don’t think they will get compliance on this one; we are likely to see a lot of iPhones.

The Opening Ceremony started last night, and today is my birthday — I think I am officially a senior citizen since I am 65, but aside from the aches and pains of getting old, I don’t feel a day over say…39.

Have you seen the Chill Box? This new product from Chill Pill Audio (a brand of Small Dog Electronics) is a full-featured Bluetooth speaker that has conference call features and awesome sound. We worked hard to get this product just right and are pleased with the results. I have one that I use when I travel. These speakers were a big hit during the holidays and I want to offer Kibbles & Bytes readers (our most loyal customers!) a chance to pick up their choice of Chill Box for a discounted price.

So for this week’s Kibbles & Bytes exclusive, grab any color Chill Box speaker bundled with a Hammerhead dual-port 10Watt USB Charger for only $89.99! That’s $10 off our normal price and a free charger, too!
