I don’t usually buy stuff online (coz I’m poor. hehe). However, I recently made an exception after a friend told me about this really really cool multiply.com site.

For this week’s Pick-of-the-Week, I’d like to veer away from consumer gadgets like my previous POWs. I mean, there’s only so much gadgets I can personally review (Oooh! Unless manufacturers start giving me samples! That would be neat.) and besides, that’s why there’s Engadget. This week I’ll be reviewing, what is in my opinion, one of the best free and open source, personal accounting software out there.

For my 2nd Pick-of-the-Week post, I’m picking the Creative Zen (Portable Media Player)

Creative Zen

My Creative Zen (4gb)

Ok, so maybe everyone who has an iPod (in any of its various flavors), or at least anyone who has tried them out a bit, would say that it’s the best portable media player out in the market. Well I have to agree. There’s no doubt that in terms of sound-quality, user-friendliness, and overall fashion-sense, it’s clearly the best right now and probably for a long time to come.

There are however some other players out there that have something to offer those brave enough (broke enough), willing to have a go at anything but an iPod.

I got this idea from The RubeTube (kudos to Punzki). Since the AFC is a relatively new blog, I thought it would be great to start a post series as soon as possible. Besides giving this blog some structure, it also motivates me to post regularly. In this case, at least once a week.
