It’s Random Early Fall Shopping Day!
Amazon has a bunch of stuff on sale today & tomorrow for an “event” they’re calling Prime Big Deal Days. I’m not going to do a big roundup here, but here are a few things you might be interested in if you’re an Amazon shopper:
- Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) with Lightning connector for $189 (24% off). This is the lowest price I’ve seen on these; they’re the best headphones I’ve ever owned. Apple just released a newer version of these (nearly the same product except for a USB-C connector on the case) and the low price is probably to clear out inventory. Both versions charge just fine with a MagSafe or Qi-certified charger, so why not get the cheaper one if you charge that way and don’t care about the small differences? Update: Both versions are the same price (I don’t think they were this morning). So get the newer ones!
- Apple 2020 MacBook Air Laptop M1 for $750 (25% off). This is my laptop. I love this laptop. When my daughter needed a new computer for high school, I bought her one of these.
- Amazon Kindle Paperwhite for $95 (32% off). I read all my books on this. Lightweight and the battery lasts forever. And it charges with USB-3 so that’s one less cable to haul around.
- SAF Aranet4 Home CO2 Monitor for $159 (36% off). This is everyone’s pick for the best indoor air quality monitor.
- Splendor Board Game for $20.49 (54% off). This has been a recent hit around our house…very easy to play but still difficult to master.
- KitchenAid 3.5 Qt. Stand Mixer for $260 (32% off). This is KitchenAid’s smaller stand mixer, which is lighter and takes up less counter space in smaller kitchens.

This is the name that'll be displayed next to comments you make on kottke.org; your email will not be displayed publicly. I'd encourage you to use your real name (or at least your first name and last initial) but you can also pick something that you go by when you participate in communities online. Choose something durable and reasonably unique (not "Me" or "anon"). Please don't change this often. No impersonation..
Note: I'm letting folks change their display names because the membership service that kottke.org uses collects full names and I thought some people might not want their names displayed publicly here. If it gets abused, I might disable this feature.
If you feel like this comment goes against the grain of the community guidelines or is otherwise inappropriate, please let me know and I will take a look at it.
