Black Friday to Cyber Monday 2013
This Friday is Black Friday. Doesn’t sound that good you might say well, it is said the name originated from the heavy pedestrian and vehicle traffic occurring on the day after Thanksgiving coloring the streets black. Later an alternative explanation suggested that this day marked the transition to profit and thus starting to write numbers in the books with black ink instead of negative red. Which ever way it was It is a chance for you to get good deals And this is exactly what I will try to gather for you here.
Cyber Monday is the online, and these days probably a much bigger brother to Black Friday. It was born after online shopping became much more popular and people started to avoid the rush to the stores, buying from the comforts of their own home during the weekend.
Here are the initial deals. Some started, some will start when the clock turns 00:00 (depending on the local of the provider). I aim for deals directly related to 3d, but also peripherals such as print, portfolio website and hosting, photography and other cool stuff a 3d artist might use or need. If you find something interesting, let me know about it so I can plug it in.
Here they are :
