Woot has a new deal every day. It may sell out in 10 minutes, or they may have some left over when they change to a new deal at midnight. The great thing about it is, no matter what they're selling, shipping is just $5! Every once in a while, they have a "Woot Off" where, once they sell out of an item, they put up a new deal. Sometimes, I think it would be nice to have some sort of notice of woot's current deal on my home page (which isn't woot.com by the way). Since they provide an RSS feed, I figure I'd code something to make it easy for me to put it on my home page. It's a simple PHP script. Enjoy it below.

Woot! - One Day, One Deal

Baby, I’m sorry.

As a show of good faith and contrition in light of my infidelity, I’ve gotten you a gift.

“I can’t believe you thought you could bribe me with-”

“It’s not a bribe! It’s a gift! It’s a gift to say, ‘I’m sorry,’ and ‘Thank you for sticking with me despite my incredibly poor judgment.’ It’s a 64GB Apple iPad!”

“It’s refurbished!”

“It’s APPLE RECERTIFIED! That’s different! That’s better! You can play games and download apps and surf the web. Come on, I know you’ve wanted one of these!”

“Kobe’s wife got a huge diamond.”

“Well, if I had Kobe’s money you would too, okay? But I’m not working with Kobe money. And I guarantee if Kobe was a mid-tier Systems Administrator this is what he would buy his wife after drunkenly kissing his college girlfriend at a reunion dinner, okay?”
