I'm looking for a good 19"-21" LCD wide screen monitor....or a radar detector (for totally legal purposes of course).

I'm hoping for a new mouse. With my luck I already missed it though.
I almost wooted one of those $5 toolsets earlier, but I eventually decided against it.

Almost bought the pistachios...

That's the only good thing I've seen so far.

I got the $4.99 tool set. It was more of a why not type deal.

I wanted that dang Star Wars set, but they only had one :(

Indeed. These Woot-Offs sound like a lot of fun. I really need one of those check cards. :(

A job would be nice too...

OK - I'll admit to being a woot-noob.

Where the heck do I go to learn what the heck a woot-off is, and to learn how to participate?

A woot-off is a special day on woot.com, which occurs roughly once or twice a month, when they go away from their one-product-a-day system. Instead, products are sold continuously, with a new one showing up a few seconds after the previous item sells out. You can tell when a Woot-off is occuring when there are two yellow flashing lights beneath the product, and a bar showing how many are left.

Woot-offs are usually the only opportunity to purchase the coveted "Bag of Crap," AKA BOC, Bandoiller of Carrots, Blinged-out Cabbage, etc. These cost a dollar each, and contain random, usually cheap, items, but sometimes contain great deals. These usually create a mad rush to kill off woot's servers, and are usually sold out within a 30 second period.

Due to the unpredictable pace and direction of Woot-offs, "Pro" wooters often devote entire days to constantly monitering the site.
