Oversized Overstock Over Here

“Wait a minute – who are you to be calling me jumbo? Look at you, with them big jumbo buttons! You’re so jumbo, when you wipe your butt, you have to take two buses to get there!”

“Oh, no you DID NOT. Big old Paul Bunyan-looking remote calling ME jumbo? You’re so jumbo, your owner needs three hands to change the channel!”

“Aw, I see how it is! You’re jealous of how I can control up to eight devices at once, huh? Must be why you’re running your mouth about other people being jumbo even though you’re so jumbo your catalog photo had to be taken by satellite!”

“Eight devices? That ain’t nothing, I can do that. And me, jumbo? You’re so jumbo that when you were manufactured, you gave the factory stretch marks!”

“OK, we’re done playing now. You’re so jumbo, when your owner set you on a pile of magazines, you broke Martha Stewart’s neck!”

“You’re so jumbo, Sarah Palin can see you from Alaska!”

“You’re so jumbo, your shadow says ‘to be continued’!”

“You’re so jumbo, all the other remotes say hurtful things about you!”

“You’re so jumbo, you are self-conscious about your exaggerated size!”

“You’re so jumbo, you find it difficult to love yourself and so you engage in self-destructive behaviors!”

“You too?”

“Yes! Me, too!”

“I thought I was the only one!”

“So did I!”

“I’m sorry I’m crying, but it feels so good to talk about it!”

“Let’s go be part of a bundle together!”

“Yes! Not as two jumbo remotes – but as two remotes who are just the right size!”

M-Audio Recording Studio EquipmentM-Audio Recording Studio Equipment

He’s A Left-Click Hero

Out there, somewhere, is a kid. He’s standing in the rain, with his head down low. It’s a very crucial stage in his development. What if he doesn’t hear a single guitar? What if he hears something else?

The kids right now, they’ve never known a world without sampling. Never known a world where there’s no such thing as a drum machine. They think disco is the new classic rock. You can pretend all you want to, but the genie isn’t going back in the bottle. We’re in the digital age.

That’s why the 21st Century garage band can’t just be Led Zep. To make it big, you need that guy to play Brian Eno. And he needs equipment. And maybe it will come from M-Audio.

Now, we’re not pretending that this is some high-end ultra-expensive Bono-and-the-Edge crap we’ve got going on here. But was Dad’s first guitar a Taylor 916ce? No, of course not! You gotta pay your dues first! And this M-Audio gear is the checkbook on which it will happen.

You can buy one, two, or three (we recommend three) of these lovely electro-toys. Maybe you’ll want the Session KeyStudio USB keyboard. It’s been designed to cover the 49 most useful notes in music, the very notes that you’ve heard on the radio, on television, even in the movies! And when used with the included virtual instruments and loops, you’ll be mixing up beats that will make the neighborhood sit up and take notice.

Or maybe you’ll want the Music Producer microphone. Capture your vocals and throw them right into the included software. In just a few minutes, you’ll be saying Kayne who? And that will most likely be caused by the fact that you can’t hear a thing since the final mix is too loud. It’s a common mistake. You’ll learn fast.

But wait! What if you choose the M-Audio Torq Mixlab mixer? Well, then, you’ll be using your MP3 collection like a DJ uses trust fund club kids: relentlessly and without cease. The two virtual decks will let you mix and cut and cross and cue and freak and flip and whatever they call it in this post Girl Talk world. It even works with iTunes for seamless transfer of data.

After all that, if you’re still not interested, you might be a purist. You might be into your guitar. We hear you. There’s always room for the classics. Maybe you’ll prefer the special “Unplugged” feel over on sellout.woot, where the M-Audio Fast Track USB interface can help get those man-made sounds into Cyberspace. Takes all kinds, after all.

And clearly, there’s something for everyone in the M-Audio Experience. But if you can’t get enough, head over to the special M-Audio page designed for Woot.com customers and take a look at the other deals. Remember, that page is to this one what Arcadia is to Duran Duran. When one is gone forever, the other will be too.

At this point, technology and rock are forever tied together. Don’t be afraid to grow! With a little help from M-Audio, anybody can have a “little side project” that makes everyone glad you didn’t pollute a good band’s legacy.

If it’s good enough for Dee Dee, it’s good enough for you.

Kodak Zi6 HD Pocket Video CameraKodak Zi6 HD Pocket Video Camera

, have given you every grain of my sand in my life’s hourglass, every cell of blood in my bastard veins, every drop of absinthe in my cupboard. Once, all Europe swooned before my beautiful nightmares. Now here I sit, reduced to shooting B-roll footage of flabby beachgoers for local newscast reports about obesity, while a thousand grasping talons rend the flesh of my beloved cinema. And yet, I regret nothing!

Alas, my muse had flown like a filthy, disease-ridden pigeon, cackling insults and mockery in its wake. Gone was the inspiration that produced my heartbreaking 1961 neorealist statement Death By Mayonnaise, or my 1973 odyssey of erotic yearning and parcel delivery, Anna Par Avion. But now, now, my harlot muse has returned to the arms of my mind, in the form of the Kodak EasyShare Zi6 Pocket HD Video Camera.

Not only does this dazzling imp of a camera capture 720p video at frame rates of up to 60 fps; not only does its SD/SDHC slot take cards of up to 32GB (sold separately); not only does it include batteries and charger; but it fits right into my pocket. And there lies the inspiration for the work that will make me once again the toast of Perpignan: The Pocket Of The Damned. Yes, it will be filmed entirely with the Kodak EasyShare Zi6 in my left pants pocket…or is it my right? This is but one of many enigmas that the viewer must grapple with through five excruciating hours of almost total darkness and barely audible sound. Never before has cinema attempted such a fearless examination of dislocation, of disinheritance, of disappointment. Pompeux, you genius!

With the Kodak EasyShare Zi6 Pocket HD Video Camera, The Pocket Of The Damned will prove the old maxim that the superior filmmaker has the right, no, the duty to waste his audience’s time. Perhaps – do I dare dream? – my new work will take its place alongside my other masterworks, like A Dog Vomits In Algiers and The Fascist Cigarette. Vive le cinéma!

Genie 1/2 HP Belt Drive Garage Door OpenerGenie 1/2 HP Belt Drive Garage Door Opener

Easy as XYZ

Well, after weeks and weeks of admonitions from my buttinsky neighbors, I finally went ahead and did it. I bought and installed a Genie garage door opener.

I heard it from them pretty much every day. We’d run into each other at the mailbox, and in a conspiratorial whisper, they’d say “your garage door’s open.” I always pretended I was glad for the update, but really, so what if it was? A man’s home is his castle, of which he is king, and the positioning of the drawbridge is the king’s prerogative. I suppose they were worried about my attracting lawnmower thieves to the neighborhood.

Weird thing was, though, I’d go around the side of the house to check, and probably half the time it was closed. Whatever.

It was finally too much when I started getting little notes on the front door: “Just FYI, your garage door was open all day today.” Really, what’s it to them? Who are they, the unofficial homeowners’ association? I guess they meant well, but it was still kind of annoying. And, like I said, about half the time, it wasn’t. Or maybe they closed it for me before I got home, who knows? They probably thought they were doing me a favor, but frankly I’d feel better knowing they stayed on their side of the pickets.

Anyway, that whole chapter is behind me now, because I got one of those ultra-quiet belt-drive Genie openers. Oh, it’s nice. The belt is fiber-reinforced for extra quietness, so I can come home late without waking anyone up at my house or the neighbors’, even though the garage faces their bedroom directly.

Plus it’s protected by an Intellicode rolling security code, so that’ll keep the neighbors all up out my biz-natch fo shizzle. That’s peace of mind.

Yep, that new Genie should put a stop to the neighbors’ passive-aggressive garage-door notes! Here’s something weird, though. At work, I’ve started getting anonymous emails advising me that I’ve “left [my] barn door open,” and expressing concern about the horse’s possible escape.

Now, I don’t even keep livestock, so I don’t know what that’s about.

Little Giant 15 Foot Ladder SystemLittle Giant 15 Foot Ladder System

Lad Men

“How do we sell this ladder? Well, where does a ladder take us? Higher. It lifts us up. Just as Jacob climbed to Heaven, the ladder lets us climb above ourselves. Beyond… ourselves.”

“No offense, Don, but I think we might be better off stressing the Little Giant Ladder’s multiple configurations. Whether you need a 4-foot stepladder or a 15-foot extension ladder, it’s easy to change its height.”

“Isn’t that what we all want? To change, to try on another height, another configuration, another face? To be something else? To be someone else?”

“Well, uh, maybe, but I think most of us want a versatile, easily-stored ladder to help us reach varied and difficult spots in our homes, garages, and yards. Hey, would you mind putting that cigarette out?”

“A new father painting his baby’s nursery with tender caresses of a brush. A darkened bulb replaced, chasing away the shadows with light. The ailing farmer determined to fix every creaky hinge on his barn before he, finally, dies. Just a ladder? No. A suit of armor against the entropy of the world. Take away the ladder, and everything falls apart.”

“I told you, you can’t smoke in here. And why do you keep staring out that window? Can I talk to your boss, please?”

Warranty: Lifetime Manufacturer

Features:

Unmatched feeling of stability in any configuration thanks to aircraft-grade aluminum, wide-flared legs, and high quality construction
Multiple configurations, including A-frame, extension, 90-degree access and six different scaffolding positions—buy one ladder to do the job of five
The right ladder for the right job every time and avoid 95 percent of all ladder-related safety issues Scaffolding Storage 90º Access Stepladder Extension
Access to the toughest areas such as the space above the staircase, vaulted ceilings; and use your ladder over and around obstacles
OSHA and ANSI compliance and is rated to hold up to 250 lbs.

Stepladder Heights:

Lowest Height: 4 Feet
First Extended Height: 5 Feet
Second Extended Height: 6 Feet
Highest Extended Height: 7 Feet

Extension Ladder Heights:

Lowest Height: 9 Feet

Sansa Fuze 4GB Media PlayerSansa Fuze 4GB Media Player

Inglourious Napsterds

An Open Letter To Quentin Tarantino

Dear Quentin,

Okay, you’re pretty much a genius. And, when we say genius, we don’t mean genius like Picasso or the guy who invented the chocolate doughnut. We mean genius like DJ Shadow or David Bowie. The kind of genius that knows how to take the good part out of thirty different movies and assemble one movie that’s nothing but a chain of good parts. And we want you to succeed, and to do even more stuff in the future! So we’re really really sorry that we watched a downloaded copy of your latest movie on our Sansa Fuze 4GB Media Player.

Wait, wait! Hear us out, Quentin! It wasn’t just because we wanted to live out the glamourous life of the criminal which your movies regularly glorify to a certain extent! It was because we were forced to go see The Time Traveller’s Wife with our girlfriends. Trust us, we very much wanted to pay to see Brad Pitt killing Nazis, and we wanted it a whole lot more than we wanted to pay to see a forty one year old making out with his eighteen year old wife. A whole, whole lot more. But, you know, it was date night, and she really wanted to pick this time…

Anyway, the Sansa Fuze 4GB Media Player has four gigs of space and plays video as well as audio. We loaded up a whole bunch of music, some MP3, some WMA, a few OGGs, a little FLAC, we didn’t even have to look because the Sansa Fuze 4GB Media Player plays it all. And, man, it made for a great drive. “Oh, honey, that’s our song, how romantic!” It really made her happy.

Of course, we were using our Belkin Sansa Charging Kit on the way, so our Sansa Fuze 4GB Media Player was all charged up when we got to the theater. Then, after we parked, we popped the tiny Sansa Fuze 4GB Media Player right into our jacket pocket. “No, honey, we don’t want anyone stealing the Sansa Fuze 4GB Media Player out of the car!” Yeah, you can probably see where this is going. But tell the truth, isn’t it a great idea? Hiding a real movie on a Sansa Fuze 4GB Media Player and taking it along in secret? Our girlfriend never even suspected!

Because of our fantastic plan, she got to see her little girly Quantum Leap crap and we got to watch… well, we’re not gonna spoil anything for anyone. But man, it was GREAT! WOW! You REALLY outdid yourself, Quentin! Amazing stuff!

It’s just too bad that we had to see your masterpiece for the first time on a 1.9 inch screen. We’ll admit that maybe we missed a few cool moments here and there because of that. But, come on, Quentin… The Time Traveller’s Wife? We had no other choice!

Anyway, we just wanted to say, first of all, we’re really sorry, and we promise to pay to see your movie in theaters just as soon as we’re able. This was an emergency situation. You understand, right? And secondly, most importantly, we want to recommend that you get one of these Sansa Fuze 4GB Media Players for yourself. It’s a great, inexpensive way to enjoy your music and movies on the go. Plus, let’s be honest here, we’re certain that you – especially you! – have had those times when you’d gnaw off your own leg just to be able to watch ten minutes of Django on the sly.

That’s what we think the tiny Sansa Fuze 4GB Media Player is really designed for, Quentin. Helping guys like us survive the chick flicks. God bless ‘em for that.

Your pals,

Woot.com

iRobot Roomba 530 Robotic Vacuum with Virtual WalliRobot Roomba 530 Robotic Vacuum with Virtual Wall

Music by Mortimer

An Improvised Song for the iRobot Roomba 530, Set to a Possibly Recognizable Tune

Room ba Room ba ba
Room ba Room ba ba

Dirt and grit and crumbs
muck and grime and scum
Strewn across my kitchen floor on the linoleum
Cleaning doesn’t bug me though, it’s easy as can be
‘Cause I own a robot that takes care of that for me

He’s called

Room ba Room ba ba
Room ba Room ba ba

It scoots beneath my chair
And sweeps up monkey hair
When I watch TV, I shed, and fur piles up down there
Roomba’s brushes work like they’re a dustpan and broom
And in no time, it’s cleaned up the whole entire room

Yeah, that’s

Room ba Room ba ba
Room ba Room ba ba

I bought it here on Woot
I love to watch it scoot
It zips around the carpet with the cat in hot pursuit
I still have to vacuum sometimes when it’s real dirty
But not near as often with the Roomba 530

Dorcy Aluminum LED Flashlight – 2 PackDorcy Aluminum LED Flashlight – 2 Pack

No, I Am Your Father

First his parents gave him access to a camcorder, then they left him alone long enough to make that video? I’ll tell you one thing: by the time my kid’s that age, he’ll know how to handle a lightsaber.

No son of mine is going to be publicly embarrassed like that. If a video of his saber training ever takes the web by storm, it’ll be because his mad Jedi skillz are just so mad and skillful. Maybe it’ll even get noticed by the real Jedis. He’ll be that good.

But I’m a realist. I know you gotta start ‘em young. Or get ‘em blessed by some space god, maybe, but I’m a good Methodist, so that’s out. Until junior shows me he can handle the lethal power of a real lightsaber, he’ll be working out with this two-pack of Dorcy Aluminum LED flashlights.

While the other kids his age are fiddling around with their toys, he’ll be preparing his body, mind, and soul for the epic battle to restore the Republic. The compact size, rubber comfort grip, and 50000mcd-lumens of LED light will give him the solid grounding he needs without any accidental amputations. The random color selection will help him be prepared for the unexpected. I also appreciate that it shines for five hours on one AAA, so I’ll only have to change the battery like twice a day.

Anyway, I know I tend to ramble on about my child-rearing plans. Sorry. I just figure we might as well get that out of the way on the first date.

Anodized 6463 Aluminum Alloy Construction

InCharge for Xbox 360 Inductive Charging System with 2 Rechargeable BatteriesInCharge for Xbox 360 Inductive Charging System with 2 Rechargeable Batteries

Anyway, for some reason, no one has ever thought to make a video game about Eustace the Monk. Of course this is nuts, because he’s clearly a guy who should be a household name, alongside Bluebeard and Blackbeard and James Beard and Joey Buttafuoco. But, if they ever do figure it out, you can bet it will be long and have many exciting levels. We’re picturing God of War crossed with Crystal Castles. Pretty cool, right? That’s why we’re recommending that you buy the InCharge for Xbox 360 right now, while it’s still cheap and easy to find.

With an InCharge for Xbox 360, you’ll be able to charge your XBox 360 remotes (you know, the ones that you get when you want to buy an XBox 360) without having to buy new batteries each time. It’ll not only help the environment, it’ll also save you money. And boy, when the Eustace the Monk game finally comes out, won’t you be happy that you have freshly charged handsets? Why, use them long enough and, with all the money you save, it’ll sort of be like getting a free game! You know, from a certain point of view. Mostly ours. Shut up.

If you’re reading this, gaming industry, get on it. The true story of the world’s only magical pirate monk has got to be a fantastic hook for the next great gaming experience. In the meantime, we’re going to try and get these InCharge for Xbox 360 chargers into the hands of as many people as we can. We’re sure that, once you release Eustace’s Journey for the XBox 360, everyone is going to want to have their handsets powered up and ready to go.

So today, on the anniversary of your death, we salute you, Eustace the Monk. We salute you for showing the world that an overpowered multi-class character does, in fact, have historical support. We salute you for wanting to avenge your father and winding up the terror of the English Channel. We salute you for trying to bribe your way out of death, even though it didn’t actually. And we salute you for giving us something to write about when we had no idea how to promote the InCharge for Xbox 360. You might have died roughly eight hundred years ago, Eustace, but in our hearts, you live on.

Famous Maker 25.5-inch Vivid Color Full HD Widescreen LCD MonitorFamous Maker 25.5-inch Vivid Color Full HD Widescreen LCD Monitor

Lifestyles of the Rich and Totalitarian

My interior-design clients don’t come to me for an understated look. A flair for the grandiose and kicky just seems to come naturally to dictators.

And that’s what’s great about working for the despots and tyrants of the world. They have strong ideas about what they want in a room, they’re not afraid to make bold statements, and you never have to worry about the budget. Whether it’s a home theater completely upholstered in tiger fur or a teakwood bathtub built for twelve with pearl inlays depicting scenes from the epic of Gilgamesh, when these clients want something, they get it.

But I always advise them to go subtle with one thing: their monitors. Sure, they could force some poor artisan to carve them a gigantic jade bust of Hercules with a monitor where each eye should be. It’s been done before. But I say, let the rest of the room do the talking. Take this Famous Brand 25.5” Widescreen LCD Monitor. You get something like this for its built-in webcam and card reader, its integrated desk lamp, its ambient light sensor that adjusts the screen settings based on the available light. Or, if you’re one of our younger tyrants, maybe because the 2 HDMI ports let you hook up both your Xbox 360 and your PS3. But not because it’s an atavistic symbol of unchallenged power and unlimited luxury. That’s what the taxidermied rhinoceros is for.

Of course, the customer is always right. Especially in my business. Recently, a client I cannot name demanded a dozen of these 25.5” LCDs installed at various heights along the walls of the replica Roman Colosseum he’d had built around his triangular rotating bed. Cheeky me, I raised the point that that arrangement might draw the eye away from the platinum-plated roller coaster, which really ought to be the natural centerpiece of the room. The disagreement was settled through the arbitration of the security police, who made quite a convincing case with a car battery and couple of well-placed clamps. As a token of his appreciation, the leader presented me with my very own official accomodations, free of charge. It’s a little chilly up here, but my tent is charming. And this rock quarry has enormous design potential.
