Why isn’t there an online Internet web page site devoted to novelty rulesets for the board game Scrabble? Maybe there is; we haven’t actually done any research on this. But if there isn’t already one, the person who creates it stands to make millions! (In nerd-bucks, a type of “cred” not redeemable anywhere for anything.) […]

The Man of Many FaceTimes FaceTime chat on your iPod? Listen, folks, when you’ve got a face like mine, FaceTime is all the time! Like if I’m going out to grab the mail, I’m FaceTiming everyone and every face I see. People, dogs, I even FaceTime the face of my mailbox. My favorite FaceTime is […]

It’s the last day of Pet Week on the Woot blog, and to me, no wild animal seems like a more appealing pet than a fox. They’re cute, smart, playful, closely related enough to dogs to seem petlike, but not as scary as wolves. Indeed, as a decades=long Russian breeding experiment shows, when selectively bred […]

The Most Important Workplace Vowel It’s not your problem today. But it’s sure gonna be tomorrow. Today you’re well ahead of the game, taking long lunches and laughing at your co-workers.

Does Whatever A Tailor Can When she finds out what you’ve been doing locked in your room late at night, your aunt may have questions. Peter? Peter, will you come down here a moment? There’s something I want to talk to you about. Peter, I know things are difficult for you right now in ways […]

And My Favorite “Tab” Is A Soda “Post-PC?” Please. I’m takin’ it to another level. I’m going POST-post-PC. Yeah, that’s right. You characters and your little “tablet computing is the future” diatribes are barely even worth my time anymore. I’m already done with the future. In fact, I’ve moved past the future into the […]

Nothing too exciting to report from last Saturday: woke up, took a run, walked down the street for a coffee and a donut, and then saved the world from alien invaders. You know, the usual. But hey, I shouldn’t take all the credit for saving the world. I mean, I really couldn’t have done it […]

Most companies set up their hierarchies based on things like talent, experience, and ability. Here at Woot, we prefer a system based on proficiency in Fruit Ninja. We’ve found it’s the best way to promote those executives who can best hack and slash at the flying fruit of commerce and business. So when we saw […]

PAX 2011 ended yesterday – today we’ll be posting the last bits of our dork-on-the-scene PAX coverage, like this… It seems like you can’t throw a rock at PAX without hitting some booth promoting its game about orcs or zombies or ninjas or cybermarines. But if these unchaste heathens aren’t your style, don’t worry – […]
