Waiting and Wooting

| 0 Comments

I wish I could say that I've had a productive day, but I haven't really. You see, I've been watching the woot-off on woot. I'm alright on the general concept of woot! -- I look at what special item they're selling at 10 pst, and then figure out if it's something I need/want, and then I move on with my life. Woot-offs, however, appeal to my obsessive-compulsive nature -- as soon as one item sells out, the next one is brought forth like the next gladiator in the Coliseum, until the woot-off is finished. Woot is, for the most part, an easy way for me to get new/refurbished parts for whatever make-it-yourself project I'm working on, but today's woot-off has been sorely lacking in useful materials (unless I was building some kind of telephony/audio/headphone project).They've had two Zune items which took forever to sell out of (I guess wooters aren't zuners), but not a whole lot of useful bits to take apart and disassemble. I suppose I should be thankful that the woot-off has stalled; otherwise, when would I get around to writing entries like these?
