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

Woot is a site that offers "One deal one day" normally for technology products. They update once a day, at 12:00 Central time, so those of us on the west coast are often up till 1:00am in hopes of a "Random Crap", which is often called a BOC or Bag of Crap . (There are other brands of "Woot" wine,shirt, and sellout.) Sometimes they vary from technology products but not that often, it happens during the woot-offs sometimes for some type of nut.
Once in a while, they will create an event called a woot-off, which is where they forget their "One deal one day" slogan and offer a new deal as soon as the previous one sells out. These sales can last anywhere from 12 to 72 hours, often ending in a novelty item.
Sometimes they throw in a "BOC" which is a 1 dollar mystery item, that can range from a plastic drink bottle to very fancy flat screen TVs.
You can find out more on their site,
