Woot off today!!!

So today Woot is having a Woot Off, this means instead of having one deal a day (at 1 am EST) they change the deal every time they run out of it (if they don't run out, it only lasts 12 hours). A Woot-Off generally lasts 24-72 hours and happens once (or twice) a month. Sometimes these are refubs so pay attention (it's listed up near the price, so you can't miss it).

What's this mean for you? Great deals all day long (as long as they keep selling out) for a few days. More about Woot.

Museum of Bizarre Discasters (Disc-asters)

This week in Circuits with David Pogue he's interviewing Scott Gaidano president of Drive Savers (a hard drive recovery business):

This is our most famous computer: it's a laptop that was rescued from the bottom of the Amazon River. A cruise ship hit an underwater barge, and sank down to the bottom. And the woman, an amateur diver, several days later, against all international law, broke in with a Maglight flashlight. Went down two flights of stairs underwater. Green, dark water. Found her stateroom. Remembered to bring her key, and rescued her laptop, and got it to Drive Savers. And we recovered all the data for her.

What makes that one extra interesting is that message came through while I was planning and trying to decide on the 3 or 4 day Nile cruise of my Egypt trip. Maybe just the 3 day (and I'll back up all my data).
