capitalAI Personal Finance Site of The Day: Woot
If you haven’t heard of this site yet, it means one of a few things:
1. You’re brain-dead.
2. You classify yourself as a non-geek and/or spendthrift.
3. You don’t enjoy bargains.
4. You have no sense of humour (with a u for obvious reasons).
5. Your use of the Internet has been limited to five minutes a week under parental supervision.
In other words, Woot is the next best thing to sliced bread for the adventurous bargaineer. It has spawned a host of imitators, but still remains as the gold standard for deal-a-day sites.
Happy shopping!
Here’s the product excerpt:
Supreme Flashlight Power Derives From A Hand-Crank, Not Some Farcical Aquatic Ceremony
Find yourself another fool, Consolidated-Federal Power Co.! I used to get enraged over your rank incompetence, the blackouts every time a stiff breeze blew, your molasses-slow repair crews. I’ll admit it: I even went so far as to research the home addresses of your key executives, just in case I needed to apply a little bit of Corleone-style persuasion to get the damn lights back on.But I’m stepping back from the precipice now. The Excalibur Dynamo Radio Flashlight gives me the serenity to accept the outages I cannot change. It features a mega-bright LED torch and an AM/FM radio, but that’s not all. It draws power from two sources even you boobs can’t bumble away: solar panels and a hand crank. So the next time a torrential drizzle takes out half of the city grid, take your time, Con-Fed. I’ll just be reading my racing form and listening to America’s favorite oldies courtesy of my Excalibur Dynamo Radio Flashlight. And I won’t have to pay you leeches a penny for the privilege.
