That\u2019s what refurbished means, after all.\nSomeone, somewhere, at some time has cleaned up something so big and so\nhistorical that they were left with no choice but to call the company\nand pretend they got a broken machine.\nMaybe someone in Boston used the Root Cyclone Technology to clean up a molasses disaster<\/a>. Maybe they found out too late that even though the Dyson\u2019s Easy Empty Bin and Lifetime HEPA Filtration\ncan trap dirt and up to 99.97% of airborne particles, it still isn\u2019t a\ngood to try and vacuum up a wave of molasses moving at thirty five\nmiles an hour.\nOr could it have come from London<\/a>?\nHow many hours could some well-meaning civil servant have spent with\nthe On Board Tool Storage, trying to get the Brush Tool and Combination\nAccessory Tool to clean up leftover beer? Even the well designed\nCentral Pivot Cleaner Head couldn\u2019t have managed the three hundred and\ntwenty three thousand gallons spilled that day. That\u2019s more than Spring\nBreak and<\/strong> St. Patrick\u2019s Day combined! Well, okay, not in Florida. Maybe somewhere in Kansas. Not near a college, of course.\nMaybe this Dyson DC18 Slim All-Floor Vacuum swept up the crumbs after that party the telcom companies threw for each other the day the FISA Amnesty\npassed the House. Maybe it was clogged with shredded paper by Enron\nstaffers who tried to cover their tracks. Even if it was just in the\nhands of some prissy soccer mom who didn\u2019t want to risk ruining her\nmanicure by emptying the bin, this refurbished Dyson DC18 Slim All-Floor Vacuum is a living memorial to history.\nWhen you consider the Dyson DC18 Slim\nAll-Floor Vacuum, remember the most important rule of housecleaning.\nYou don\u2019t just use your cleaning tools\u2026 you become part of their\nlegend. And what\u2019s that broom ever done with its life?Warranty:<\/strong> 6 Month Dyson\nFeatures:<\/strong>\n\n - Suction power \u2013 200 airwatts (constant)<\/li>\n

As big as ever.\nThe thing was enormous.\nSquatting in her workstation like a gigantic robot toad, it commanded\nhalf the surface of her desk, and threatened to splinter its spindly\nlegs with its bulk.\n\u201cGreetings, Miss Kelli. How was your trip to Milwaukee?\u201d \n\u201cIt\u2019s just Kelli,\u201d she said, putting her travel mug on her desk. \u201cWhen did I tell you about Milwaukee?\u201d \n\u201cYou\nreceived a fax from the travel agent about it last week,\u201d the thing\nsaid. \u201cI remembered. I remember up to 125 faxes, even when I\u2019m powered\noff.\u201d \n\u201cAh,\u201d Kelli said, feeling a little creeped out that\nthe thing had committed so much of her correspondence to memory. \u201cHey,\nlisten, I didn\u2019t expect you to hang around through the holiday weekend.\nIf you want to take off, that\u2019s fine.\u201d \nOh, no, Miss\nKelli,\u201d the thing said. \u201cYou have rescued me from refurbishment.

If you have faxes to send or receive,\nthese tasks, too, I will perform. You are my mistress. My life is yours\nuntil I break down irreparably.\u201d \n\u201cAh,\u201d Kelli said. \u201cWell,\nthat could be any day now, right?

And it would<\/em>\nbe handy to have its 50-page auto document feeder and double sided\nprinting capabilities\u2014features she\u2019d always figured were out of her\nprice range.\n\u201cOK, she said. \u201cYou can stay here for now. You\nknow, until your print heads wear out, and I\u2019ll have to junk you.\nThat\u2019s the first thing to go on a printer,\u201d she asked, feeling newly\nhopeful. \u201cPrint heads, right?\u201d \n\u201cAh!\u201d the thing said. \u201cYou\nneedn\u2019t worry about that with me!

I surely won\u2019t\nchange the world, but my teachers always told me that I was good at\nscience. Maybe I\u2019ll find some tiny little fact all on my own!\nLab Journal: Day 9<\/strong>\nWow,\nI haven\u2019t been very good about keeping up with this. But now that I\u2019m\nall unpacked, it\u2019s time to get to work! No more watching my Oppo 1080p\nHigh Definition Up-Converting Universal DVD Player all day! This is serious!\nLab Journal: Day Sixteen<\/strong>\nI\nthink I\u2019ve discovered a teleporter! I was making some adjustments\nacross the room and knocked over what I thought was a fancy lamp, and\nsuddenly there I was, on the other side of the room, crouched on top of\nthe television! Still don\u2019t know what happened to my Oppo 1080p High\nDefinition Up-Converting Universal DVD Player. What will I play my XviD, DivX, .SRT, .IDX, .SMI and .SUB files on now?\nLab Journal: Day Nineteen<\/strong>\nEverything looks so sharp now. It sounds stupid, but it reminds me of how it looks when 720\u00d7480 interlaced video encoded on DVD\ndiscs is upgraded to 720p. Just yesterday it all looked like 480p.\nCould my vision just be getting better? What has happened to me?\nLab Journal: Day Twenty One<\/strong>\nMy\ntests proved that I am seeing in 1080i and 1080p, alternatively. It\nseems that, in the accident, I was fused with my Oppo 1080p High\nDefinition Up-Converting Universal DVD Player. Perhaps I can learn to unlock the powers of my DCDi Faroudja video processing technology and use it for good. \nLab Journal: Day Twenty Five<\/strong>\nSomething is wrong. Got into fight today for no reason. Suddenly had to have a Kodak Picture CD. Then it was SACD, DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, HDCD\nand an Audio CD. It was like being hypnotized, I had no control of\nmyself. When the moment passed, I ran. I don\u2019t think I was followed.\nLab Journal: Day Twenty Six<\/strong>\nSat on the remote by accident, hitting the eject button, and suddenly threw up. Can\u2019t be too far away from the HDMI\ncable now or things begin to go wrong. Must continue tests. Hearing now\nadapting to digital audio. Impossible to sleep. Must continue tests.\nLab Journal: Day Thirty One<\/strong>\nCan\nsee so much. High Def up-conversion. So much beauty. So much pain. Like\na star in my head. Can barely work the machines. Must try one last time\nto reverse fusion. Have I tried before? So hard to think now. Only want\nto be close to the television.\nLab Journal: Day Thirty Two<\/strong>\nReversal failed. Nothing left. User manual no help. Oppo 1080p High Definition Up-Converting Universal DVD Player grew legs and ran away. Or did I dream it? Nothing left. No more. No more.\nThis\nnotebook was found in the basement of a house in an undisclosed\nneighborhood. Alongside the notebook was the body of something slightly\nless than a man, slightly more than a Oppo 1080p High Definition\nUp-Converting Universal DVD Player. It had smothered itself with the included cloth sleeve. An Oppo 1080p High Definition Up-Converting Universal DVD Player\nthat could talk was captured in a forest nearby. It escaped, and\nexperts suspect it has hidden itself among the product sold by a\npopular online electronics site. Be careful!

Oh, it was a real pain to lug these\ntapes around every time I moved. I missed out on a lot of nightlife\nback in the era before programmable VCRs. And building that\nclimate-controlled, HEPA-certified sterile\nstoreroom cost me more than just the $81,000 price tag \u2013 it also cost\nme my second wife. But I\u2019ve never regretted a thing. Above all, no\nmatter the cost in money or human life, the tapes must be preserved. I\nnever doubted that the purpose would be revealed in time.\nAnd\nso it has.

And we'd both forgotten how much it sucks. Pretty much the worst part of owning stuff is having to lug said stuff around. But what if they stuff could move itself? When Matthew and I played in the a band together, we would daydream about robotic amplifiers and drum kits that could just walk, roll, or fly from our practice space to the gig and then back home again. Or inflatable equipment that we could just deflate to load in and out. Or disposable equipment we could just throw away after the show. Why not apply those elegant principles to all human possessions - even the crap we sell at Woot? Your challenge this week:\nShow us a past or current Woot product modified to make it easier to deal with on moving day.<\/strong>\n\nPost your entry here by 11:59 AM CST on Monday, August 11, 2008.\nPrizes are $20\/$50\/$100 for 3rd\/2nd\/1st. The rules and criteria for\nwinning: our panel of volunteer judges can and will make stuff up as it\ngoes along. Use Photoshop, linoleum blocks, pastels, MSPaint, cave\npainting, tattoos, tribal scarification, whatever, but it\u2019ll only be\njudged if it\u2019s visible in our forums as a jpg, gif, or png. As we are\nfond of saying, try to keep your maximum width to 450px. If you need a\nplace to host your pictures, try www.imageshack.ws<\/a> or www.photobucket.com<\/a>.\nWe have no connection to either, but they seem free and easy to use.\nAnd if you want us to be sure your entry was indeed your work, post\nlinks to your source images. The more sure we are that you did your own\nwork, the more likely we are to consider it for a prize.\n

The Feds are closing in on me. First, I was on my way to a very important comic convention when they took away my hair goo at the airport. Without the right hair, my Wolverine costume was a laughingstock. Then they sent my economic stimulus check four days late, just to mess with my head. Now, I learn that they\u2019re taking all broadcast TV off the air, destroying the profitable DVD-piracy business I\u2019d built with my Magnavox MWR10D6 DVD Analog Recorder.\nDon\u2019t believe the stories about \u201cfreeing up bandwidth\u201d or whatever. The digital mandate is aimed squarely at me, and if you don\u2019t see that, you\u2019re either naive or you\u2019re one of them. See, my super-cheap Magnavox gives me the low overhead I need to turn a profit with pirated DVDs of broadcast TV shows. It\u2019s as easy to use as a VCR, and it has a built-in analog TV tuner. Lost<\/em>, 24<\/em>, Viva Laughlin<\/em>: I was the first one to get DVDs of these hot shows out on the street, literally in my case. Ever bought a bootleg DVD set of a network TV show, and the insert was a photocopied collage of pictures clipped from
