Attention geeks... We have a WOOT OFF! - 06-19-2008, 07:52 AM




For those of you who aren't familiar with the website WOOT.com, on a normal daily basis they start at midnight with a large quantity of one item and the just sell that one item until it's gone. Usually no photography stuff... except an occasional p-n-s digi cam. It's mostly techie stuff.

But today they are having a "WOOT OFF"... Which is a many splendered thing!!! They sell a smaller quantity of one thing and as soon as it's gone they put up another. This can go on for 36-48ish hours.

Shipping is just $5 on all orders and they are pretty good about getting you the stuff promptly.

Just beware... it can be very addicting!!!!!!

I check it most nights before I go to bed.
I saw the Woot-off going on, and just couldn't keep my eyes open any longer.

And yes, it CAN be addicting. I just bought a graphics tablet the other day. Still waiting for the delivery.

That delivery gets me. You get a "Bag of Crap" and it's $5 for shipping.
You get a 62" flat panel plasma screen television, and it's $5 for shipping.

Click on the tab for "Blog" and you can scroll through the past deals.
If you get to the bottom, you can click on "older" and it will go to the previous page.

Ugh! That gorilla pod was only $4.99 plus the standard $5 shipping.
Oh well. Life goes on.

Great. It's stuck on a Dyson, so I go run some errands. Change the oil in my car, run down to the neighbors house when the police, fire and ambulance came rolling by, and I missed the 42" 1080p LCD TV. Sheesh.
What's the world coming to?

Oh, and I already own an IR Thermometer. (it was a stocking stuffer ;) )

Okay, fellow geeks. Lets not forget about the OTHER woot sites. There's
http://shirt.woot.com
http://sellout.woot.com and
http://wine.woot.com which is a once a week deal.

As for me, I clean my gutters the old fashioned way. With a pen! (sign the check)
Just kidding. I use a plastic orange scoop called A Gutter Getter. It can be found at the hardware store for a few bucks. It works great.
I figure with that iRobot roomba thingy, you gotta get up there to put it in and take it out anyway......
