John was the winner of the "Glasses of the Year Club" from EyeBuyDirect. He'll be sporting a new pair every year for the next five years.


I wonder what his 2014 pair will look like as he cruises around in his flying car to his job at the Solar-Electric Power Plant.

It's a neat prize. Congratulations John.

This is fun.

The guys at EyeBuyDirect created a special set of frames for the GlassyEyes' 3rd Anniversary. They're available for $7.95 and are -- I think -- eligible for the Buy-One-Get-One offer as well.

Supplies are limited.

Join the party with some special (and inexpensive) specs.

I appreciate it EBD!

First off, let me start with a heartfelt "Thank You" to all of you who have helped to make this site as relevant as it is. Your emails, comments, questions, and input are the fuel for all of this. It's been an interesting and fantastic three years and I really appreciate all of your help in passing the message along to others in need.

It's been challenging and at the same time very rewarding to get to read so many emails from people who are able to see through clear (and even tinted) lenses and still be able to afford groceries for the family.

Keep passing it on. It's making a difference. The markets are beginning to change in response to this sharing of knowledge and empowerment.

I bought the site a logo for its "birthday". I'd expect to see it soon on new business cards, stickers and maybe a t-shirt or two in the coming weeks.

I also tried to respond to as many of the suggestions as I could about the site design. The two most prevalent questions I've gotten are "Where do I start?" and "What are the best deals?" (check the news scroller at the top and the extended listings on the customary left side), so I tried to highlight those two areas in the design of GlassyEyes 3.0. It's not that I don't like answering the questions, but I bet you'd rather not have to ask. I value your time and know that I don't necessarily enjoy digging for information that should be plainly visible.

Keep the questions and ideas coming. It makes filling posts easier.

Thanks again!

Really rolls off the tongue eh?

I just got an email with this information and am not going to have time to dig out the financial details today, but would LOVE it if someone could fill in the holes and do the math for me on this. This deal lasts until November 13th.

This is, potentially, one of the best deals G4U has ever had.



Here's the link.

The promo code is: 'SALE'

From a strictly personal sense, the biggest news is the new site is going live tomorrow. I'm going to be busy putting together the finishing touches all day. I've got a full pot of coffee, finished watching the season finale of Mad Men during breakfast, put the full-time gig on hold for the day, and the kids are at school until 3PM. Here we go!

Secondly, and maybe firstly in the grand scheme of things, EyeBuyDirect has decided to extend their sale for another week. That's right, they're going to continue to double up on the orders until November 15th. If you missed out last week, and are still in the market for some nice glasses with a great guarantee, you're in luck for another week.

Gather up your prescriptions and hit the site!

I'm going to be heads-down at the desk for a while. See you tomorrow.
