The Columbus Day sales at Best Buy are all found on one page, which showcases the best deals in GPS, tablet’s, laptops, music, movies, video games, cameras, home theater and a lot more. The sale runs for two days only and started yesterday. You can see all the offers on this page, and while they’re not up to the “Black Friday” prices with no “doorbuster deals” in sight, you can find something special at a pretty good price.

We wanted to highlight a couple of products that grabbed our attention, and these included a free Insignia GPS receiver when you buy a selected iPod touch. The Aspire One Netbook (AO722-0611) is currently discounted to a pretty good $249.99, and you can also pick up a Lenovo IdeaPad K1 tablet with 32GB of storage for $329.99.

Those of you that love a good deal on cameras can find free shipping and a range of offers, these include up to $130 off selected Nikon DSLRs, and a $100 discount on the Panasonic GF2 compact system camera.

Did you manage to find anything good yesterday, or today in the Columbus Day sales? Let us know in the comments and have a great holiday.

The good old holiday is getting more expensive, although we’re seeing many companies try and push deals to secure your money.

This was highlighted on a new cruise ship news website, found at cruiseshipnews.co.uk. Blogs are popping up everyday, and so are news websites on niche topics, so why should this one be any different? In a nutshell it’s not, their aim is to “keep you informed” on the latest cruise ship news, although they have an interest in the family “perspective”.

With cruise ships being known for the “older” generation, this now seems to be changing. More and more families are taking the plunge into cruising, and never looking back after they get a taste. While they could be seen as an expensive option, some families are getting amazing last minute deals with ships needing to fill the rooms before sailing.

Cruise Ship News has a Facebook channel that you can follow here, and like most new sites, a Twitter channel.

Let us know what you think, and also how the Internet has changed the way you look for holidays?

How about wondering what apps would have appealed to the navigator, colonizer, and explorer?

Brad Spirrison from Appolicious believes that he knows what apps would have made life much easier for Christopher Columbus. The most popular app would have been Google Earth, if only this technology was available to him – just think how things would have been?

Columbus like all explorers needed to be backed by investors, but finding them would have been hard back in 1451-1506. There are now a number of apps that puts you in touch with venture capital investors – so life is easy if you plan on doing something that requires capital like Columbus needed.

OK, so we know that this is all a bit of fun, but it just shows how life has changed and how hard it must have been at the time.

For those of you with children, then you should plan a few fun activities to help celebrate this great day. How cool would it be to get them to color some pages, learn a few poems and rhymes, or even learn a few facts about his ships?

For those who would like to shop on this holiday, then Best Buy has a sale on, which we discussed in a recent article.

What do you plan to do today?
