New Era For Magazines + Free Money!

I have been using Zinio for a month now, and I absolutely love it.

Not only do I get a lot of free sample magazines, but Zinio is extremely cross compatible with the desktop, the browser, Android, Iphone/Ipod/Ipad, and more. It works great on Virgin Mobile phones too!

The selection of magazines is also very impressive — all the way from homemaking to professional and everything in between.

This is truly the future of the magazine! I especially enjoy the interactive magazines, which brings the whole experience to a new level of “sweet”.

Zinio has a corner on the market of digital magazines right now, especially in the Android world. No better time to give them a try – and they are giving away $25 for all new user accounts.

We all love free money with no real strings attached!

You’re Here, Now What?

I want to extend a personal welcome to you — I am Dana Rock, the voice behind all of these posts.

Our Motto here is “Love, Own, Hack! Rock That!”, which really just means to try to get the most out of what you have even if it is not the latest and greatest gadget on the block.

Stand tall, be proud of the phone you own and even more so of what you can make it do — that is where the “hack” comes in.

To sum it up – Love what you have, be proud to own it, and hack the heck out of it to make it do what you want!

I’ve learned over the years that there is almost always a way to get something done – “Get Around It” is another one of my favorite mottos….
