#43Picked up a copy of Practical Common Lisp for £12.50. Even second hand these are going on Amazon for £25, and lord knows I've been through that book online enough times to know it's about time I got myself a hard copy!

#45I purchased a 1TB EVO 850 from newegg/amazon (both have the same price). But I had a specific need for large fast storage.

#48Apress [1] are doing ebooks for £9.99 and print books for £12.50. Picked up a copy of Practical Common Lisp for £12.50.

I suppose this changes if you create an account and log into it, but the prices are initially quoted in Euros (close the US$ right now), and shifted to dollars after I entered my address in the registration process.
They say free shipping to individuals world wide, and the physical book I bought is going to be printed on demand by Springer Customer Service Center LLC, with the usual delays. And of course the ebook I bought was immediately available; all very slick so far.

#49If you're a gamer, there's tons of stuff on sale. On Steam you can get Doom for $20, and it is well worth it. I'm also binging on The Division which is $25 with an optional $20 season pass for some extra stuff. If you want something more low key Stardew Valley might be the ticket.

Yeah it's pretty dangerous to browse Steam now... I already purchased 4 games today (even two AAA titles), and I still have 5-6 untouched games from the last christmas sale.
FTFY :)
