w00t!

Do you have an obsessive desire for cool things that are cheap. Or do you just appreciate good humor writing? Either or both, you'll find it here.
Example:

t’s spring. Things are warming up. People are wearing less and less everywhere you go. And your mind is firmly in the gutter.

All those leaves to clean, all that wet mulch and strange molds and maybe a venomous millipede with a rifle. You don’t want to go up there. You certainly don’t want to pay a stranger. And your kid’s been at a slumber party for a week. They always know, those kids.

But never you fear, because if your gutter fits well against this template, the iRobot Looj will be there to fulfill Issac Asimov’s dream. No, it doesn’t have breasts, that was Heinlein’s dream. Pick up a book, jerkface.

This recertified iRobot Looj is a little bot with only one prime directive: to clear your gutter. The Looj moves both forward and backward and has a three stage auger that spins in both directions. You keep the remote. Rebellion is impossible!

No, they don't pay me, it's just one of my favorite sites. There are plenty of user comments to guide your buying decision. I have bought a video and digital still camera, and both the robotic vacuum and floor scrubber and am delighted with all four.

I never get there in time for the $1 bag-o-crap, though. Sigh.

One item, one day, when they're sold out, they're sold out. Refurbished is your friend.
