A Woot Classic Moment
We’re too caught up in the frenzied celebration of our 10th birthday to write about today's product. Check out this refurbi- uh, classic write-up.
Make the Robots Run On Time (April 2006): "Hello? Oh, hey, how’s it going? WHAT? WHAT’D YOU SAY? YOUR WHAT IS INFECTED? HANG ON, HANG ON…OK, there. Sorry, I had to go to another room to get away from my Roomba. I love that thing, but sometimes it’s hard to hear over the din. If only there were some way I could program it to run when I’m not home, so I could enjoy the benefits of its three-stage cleaning system, dirt-detect feature, and bagless debris bin without having to endure all the noise.

Music Monday: Classy Vibes
Happy Music Monday! If you were to break into Scott's house and look at his record collection, you'd maybe be shocked to see how many records feature the vibes. Today Scott's gathered some vibraphone hits he knows and loves and set them out on display. After you enjoy them, it'll be your turn to add a few! And don't worry, we're using the super-loose interpretation today. Xylophones, bells, marimba, whatever, today we're callin' 'em all vibes.
Music Monday: Heat
Happy Music Monday! Right now, it's likely to be getting prett-ty warm around you. So today's Music Monday is Scott's tribute to heat. Consider it our way of warming you up to the Dog Days of Summer. Also we wanted to use that terrible pun.
The Style Council - Long Hot Summer
There aren't many songs that feel connected to both an era and a season, but just listen! How could this song be born anywhere but the summer of 1983?
Eh, so they're gonna be short, so what. It's too hot to do a lot of work. See you after the jump.
Peter Gabriel - The Rhythm Of The Heat
Music Monday: Sour Milk: Novelty Songs You Gotta Share
It's Music Monday! What's the best way to prove you're someone's friend? Why, by giving them horrible music, of course! Nothing shows your respect like the words "Wow, you've GOT to hear this crap!" Today Scott's showing his love for you by slapping down five of the WORST songs he knows. After you listen, feel free to repay him in kind.
Dr. Dave - Vanna, Pick Me A Letter
In one quick motion, David Kolin crossed the voice of Cheech Marin with the smooth skill of Alex Chilton and- well, churned out this mid-80s novelty hit about Wheel Of Fortune. At least he didn't go back to do "Jeopardy Gurls," right?
The terror only continues within. See you after the jump!
Music Monday: Best Jingles
Happy Music Monday! What's the purest form of commercial music? That's right. Catchy jingles. They don't even pretend to be art, they just want to worm in your brain and make you spend money. How refreshing and truthful! Why can't pop stars admit that? Today Scott's collected the five favorites from the commercial world. Sing along! You know the words!
If our great nation is ever conquered, Americans can probably find each other simply by singing "I'm stuck on Band-Aid, and-" then waiting. If you're a American, you know the other end of that catchy, catchy passphrase. And if you're American and you don't know it… we're watching you, pal. We're watching you. Fun fact: this was written by Barry Manilow.
See you after the jump!
The Debunker: Can Warm Summer Nights Cause “Heat Lightning”?
Lord Almighty, I feel my temperature rising. If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, July is the beginning of the “dog days” of summer, the hottest period of the year. But you know what’s cool on a hot day? Knowledge. Grab a tall glass of lemonade, settle down in a hammock under a shady tree, and let Jeopardy! wunderkind Ken Jennings set you straight on some shamefully persistent misinformation about hot stuff.
