Another awesome piece of technology for today. I know these used to be required when constructing your own machine, since Windows couldn’t handle installing directy off a CD or something. It’s been ages since I mucked around with this stuff, so I don’t recall how to tell if it’s IDE…

woot.woodardj Day 9: Palm Tungsten T2
An awesome piece today — Palm’s pre-prē *rimshot* attempt at regaining relevance in the consumer electronics market. This thing was the height of awesomeness in 2004. I’ve got the docking cradle and power supply that goes with it. If you take it, and can’t find a driver/software download on Palm’s site,…
woot.woodardj Day 8: City of Heroes MMO
Whoa! Another late post, as I am nie-incapacitated with a stupid cold. Today’s giveaway is a copy of the “City of Heroes” MMORPG. From what I can tell, the servers are still running, and all that good stuff. I think it’s Windows-only (does anyone in Boulder run Windows?) Anyway, it…
woot.woodardj Day 7: Woot Off!! — “Geek Week”
Holy crap, it’s a wootoff! Got a whole slew of smaller, hyper-geeky things today. See the full gallery on Posterous First up, the newest (most recently acquired) item we’re going to see this month: A Dr. Who In My Pocket!! This this is awesome — it makes 6 Dr. Who-related noises,…
woot.woodardj Day 6: DVI cables
Holy crap, late post today! All the Superb Owls had me distracted. Here we’ve got 4 DVI-D (single sync) cables. No funny story here, but hopefully there’s someone this will be useful to.
woot.woodardj Day 5: Desk gum ball machine!
Today’s item is a desk-sized gumball machine. Pop quarters in, gumballs come out. Notably, this also works rather well with Peanut M&Ms. My former employer(s) gave this to me after it didn’t sell at a yard sale, and I rocked it on my desk at Inner Circle Media for the…
woot.woodardj Day 4: 2-port KVM switch
Hey hey hey! Day 4 and we have some awesome computer equipment. This is a Startech KVM switch, for VGA displays and USB keyboards/mice. If you’re not down with all those TLAs, it basically will let you run two computers from one display and keyboard. It will work for older…
woot.woodardj Day 3: disc golf set
Finally one that should get some good traction here in Boulder! I love Ulty, and because of this, a former coworker tried to turn me on to Disc Golf. She even went to far as to give me an old set of discs so we could play on the ad-hoc…
woot.woodardj Day 2: BePuzzled puzzle
Today’s Give-Away/Throw-Away item was acquired at a yard sale across the street from the house I own in Michigan. When I saw it, I thought “Hey! I love jigsaw puzzles from BePuzzled!” So I grabbed it immediately. (After being assured by the sale-holders that all of the pieces were, indeed,…
woot.woodardj Day 1: Caller ID
The first item up for grabs is a land-line Caller ID unit from Radioshack. It was given to me by a dear former coworker on her last day before she quit. It has saved many units of sanity by protecting its owners from mindless callers. Sadly, this life-saving device has…
