A very cool site that’s a mashup of deals from other sites like Slickdeals, Fatwallet, Gottadeal and lots more. Mostly tech-related stuff, but there are other things also.

A site created by a University of California student that lists out a bunch of great deals on everything from tech to shoes daily. This site is very simple and is addicting.

The nice thing about this site (and others) is that you can subscribe to the RSS feed to quickly find deals. Also, pictures of the items are included in the feed. This site also gives you info on rebates and coupons in addition to just deals.

DealDump is an aggregate of multiple deal sites, covering everything from Woot.com to DealOverFlow. There are a lot of sites on here I had never even heard of before, so you might find something good here.

Find the hottest deals on gadgets, computers, electronics, cameras, and lots more. The cool thing about this site is that you can subscribe to an RSS feed for the specific item you’re looking for.

Takes the same concept of Digg.com and does it for deals. Users vote for the best deals and the ones with the most votes get on to the front page. Also once you join you can enter to win free stuff, etc.

As you can probably tell from the name of the site, Techdeals.net is all about tech stuff likes games, MP3 players, digital cameras, computers and more. It’s updated daily and has a good number of items.

An online service that helps shoppers find coupons and hot deals for tons of online stores. It has a very clean interface and is one of the best sites for just finding coupons! Definitely check it out.

Not your normal deal-finding site! This site is basically a social shopping deals site, complete with a game show host and a good number of great products. You’ll have to check it out yourself to find out.

DealItem is another deal site for mostly tech stuff. It works best when you’re searching for something by model # or by make and features. If you know what you’re looking for, check out DealItem.

A social bargain hunting site that changes frequently during the day, so you’re looking at new stuff all the time. Again, its based on a peer voting system that brings the best deals to the front page.

SlickDeals is one of the better known deal sites and includes everything from tech gadgets to men’s shirts. They also have over 800 coupons that you can use at your favorite stores. Very clean interface and easy to use web site.

Finally, GottaDeal.com is very popular site for finding deals and coupons online. Has a bunch of categories and brings in deals from many of the major retailers such as Apple, AT&T, and CompUSA.

So that’s about 13 deal sites that I could think of that have gained some popularity over the last couple of years. If you know of more that you think are good or better, go ahead and post it in the comments! Enjoy!

My top five requirements for an interesting work life:

1. Challenging problems to solve
2. The opportunity to actively mentor a team
3. Active mentorship for myself
4. Participation in strategic planning
5. Participation in operational execution

My four core values:

Passion: Find your spark and fan the flames!
Integrity: Be yourself in everything you do.
Respect: Everyone can teach you something. Learn it.
Candor: An open mind requires open communication.

I’ve been a technologist for nearly seven years (since my early teens). In that time, I’ve worked with everything from soldering irons to software (in nearly every major language).

I’m also an accomplished product manager, technical lead, and manager of technical staff. I deeply enjoy the challenges in leadership and management; I find especially interesting helping people identify and hone their strengths while aligning them with the company’s goals. In short, I like growing and fostering effective people.

Specialties

1. There’s greater potential for improvement. Saving half of 90% is a much bigger win than half of 10%.
2. Front end changes are simpler than back end. The techniques you’ll use (minification, consolidation, compression, etc.) take engineer days, not weeks.
3. It’s a demonstrably effective approach. It’s not only been proven at Yahoo and elsewhere, you can likely make trivial changes to your own site and see the results immediately.
