woot! and Bags of Crap

October 23rd, 2006 by Ken

woot!woot! is a fun website thats motto is “One Day, One Deal” They sell a single product per day, and once it sells out, it’s gone. The great part is that they get incredible deals (if you need the product), and everything has $5 shipping. I’ve bought some great christmas presents from them, and also some cool gadgets for myself.

Some examples of my woots:

  • Wireless Bluetooth Headphones (2 pair) - $54.99 shipped
  • Simpletouch Hard Drive backup case - $19.99 shipped
  • InFocus 76-inch 16:9 Projector Screen - $34.99 shipped (Shipping alone prob cost $35

There are some other things I’ve bought, but since they are going to be Christmas presents I won’t list them here…

The coolest part about woot! is that to keep people interested, at random times they sell an item called the “Bag of Crap” on their site for $3 and $5 shipping. No one knows what they will receive when they purchase a BOC, but it almost always is worth a lot more than the $8 you pay for it. It is a highly sought after, and highly prized possession for people who frequent their site.

I recently got lucky enough to get a BOC, and here were it’s contents:

I own Google!

March 7th, 2006 by Ken

This is weird. Eddie calls me today and says ‘Go to google, type in “movies near 77477″, and look at the first item in the list.’

Click this link: movies near 77477

Weird, huh? Normally, the “near” keyword invokes the Google Local search. Try “Pizza near 77477″ or even “Movie near 77477″ and you get what seems relevant. I dont know why it points to my website, but thats cool.

(If it doesn’t pull up my webpage as the first item, then Google has changed or reindexed.)

Wow this is weird.  It seems like it has to be fake, but it’s still cool.
