He's a grizzled deal veteran, having lived through and covered all modern-era Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales. ("Black Friday" as a retail term first emerged in the late 1960s—and he's not quite that old.) As a lifelong (and unapologetic) Apple fanboy, Jim loves helping others find deals on the latest MacBooks, iPads, and iPhones. But he'll happily cross the aisle to uncover the best discounts on PCs and everything else from video games to vacuums. When he's not sleuthing for the next big deal, Jim's either rewatching The Office for the 57th time, finally getting around to finishing The Witcher 3, or planning a trip to a remote, mountainous corner of the world—sans Internet.

You can find him wandering the dew-drenched depths of the information jungles chasing the other side of the case, or sometimes casting for brook trout on the quiet lakes of Georgia. He is fascinated by structures, algorithms, self-organizing systems, emergent phenomena, local minima, tanha, dukkha and everything in between.

Kim Bishop
Staff Writer
Kim wasn't hired with the title of Deal Ninja... she was born with it. When she's not saving you (specifically you) dollars, she's turning the story of her days as the writer of a singles column into a screenplay. Early proofreaders have given feedback like "Very funny, but you didn't turn down a role on The Office to 'give Jenna Fischer a chance'", and "Kim, there is no way you submitted each column to the President for his approval", but she nonetheless persists in speaking her truth.
