Another reason why Woot.com is Awesome

I just got a package from Woot.com. I didn’t even think about it as I opened it; it had my name on it, so I opened it, simple as that. Inside was a Best Buy Gift Card. “Huh,” I thought to myself, “I don’t recall ordering one of these.” The message (which was in nice…

Review: Returning something on RightStuf.com

Last month, I bought a Voltron Bundle from RightStuf.com. It came with Lion Force (Sets 1-5), Vehicle Force (Sets 6-8), as well as a T-Shirt (Large), all for $69.99 (which meant it qualified for free shipping).

Review: Motorola Xoom – Hardware

I purchased a Motorola Xoom for work just shortly after it came out. Personally, I’m a big fan of the current version of Android (2.3); it’s come a long way since 1.0. That “release” sucked and I still have nightmares about the G1. It’s a bonus that my office is a big proponent of Open…
