Caulk talk is one of my favorite write-ups but I have to give a vote to my TiVo write-up (the fourth item ever sold on Woot, long before we had the sense to hire writers to do the heavy lifting) comparing TiVo to Paris Hilton: "TiVo is so easy, everyone in the house can use it. Think of TiVo as the Paris Hilton of electronics. Yes, it's really that easy."



One of our wonderful developers, Andrew, located the TiVo write-up!

What is TiVo®? TiVo DVRs are like VCRs but with a hard disk and without the hassles of videotape. Think incredible digital quality. Think automatic recordings of your favorite shows all season long. So you can watch what you want, when you want. Plug into the future of home entertainment and dump all those mystery tapes. All your favorite shows are neatly labeled and ready for viewing via an easy to use on-screen menu.

TiVo is easy. TiVo is so easy, everyone in the house can use it. Think of TiVo as the Paris Hilton of electronics. Yes, it's really that easy. Tell TiVo once, and it will record a whole season of your favorite shows automatically, without repeats. It can even pause live TV. Plus, rewind, slow-mo and instant replay (Janet Jackson anyone??). Any channel, anytime!

TiVo is smart too! TiVo learns what you like - say, golf, Hitchcock, or cooking - and records those shows automatically. (so maybe it's not so much like Paris Hilton) Simple but powerful. No wonder TiVo is by far the most popular Digital Video Recorder (DVR) in the world.

Do you still do the Woot Video Podcast? I can't find it anywhere... Except the live steaming version of old shows playing on the website today.

Happy Birthday Woot! This year in school you'll learn to write cursive, only to find out later that it's a pointless skill.

I mean, let's be honest: In this golden age of asking questions and announcing major life events by instagram-ing screenshots of text written in the notes app on your iPhone, who needs cursive?

So, I've been listening to the Wootathon basically all day and I love hearing Randall read Facebook statuses in a disapproving tone.

Question (I hope it's not a dumb one): I want to send these to a friend so he can laugh along with me, but he's never around when they come on the live stream. I guess he's off doing real work or something. (pfffft, this guy)

I checked the YouTube channel and didn't see them there (but maybe I'm just blind.) So, I was wondering if there was a quick place for me to find all of those for quick linkage.

I have enjoyed the song about not dressing up your dog, and the wootoff theme song. Both very good!

Those videos are not on our Youtube channel just now, but I bet they'll end up someplace linkable soon.

Here's a prim-and-proper rejoinder to "Mozart not writing a masterpiece every time the Vienna Philharmonic played."

How could he? The poor man died at 1 a.m. on Dec. 5, 1791, and Otto Nicolai started the Philharmonische Academie in 1842, the organization eventually becoming the Philharmonic.

A fair exchange: I feel righteous and you just received a nice bit of education. Everybody's happy.

Just be careful if you get one in a Balloons of Celebration if you know what I mean... and I think you do...

I'll admit I'm not really watching the videos, I just have them playing in the background - and the lack of subtitles means I can't share the experience with my deaf husband, but I do find the videos making me nostalgic for the old podcasts, which I'd dictate for him - yes I really did do that, at least the best bits.

A wooter created a thread to talk about and dream about your Balloons of Celebration since there's no official sale thread.

I'm seeing different ones but I would have though everyone's stalking facebook right now.

Video has been going for 25 hours if the video timer is accurate. Where my Balloons of Celebration for at least attempting to play this game.
