Is anyone but me celebrating Albert Einstein's birthday today?

Mar 15, 2012 1:49 AM

I like pi and I like pie, and I also like circles. But don't you think that it's more important to celebrate a man who revolutionized science rather than the convenient arrangement of the month and the day to match a certain irrational number that we all know and love.

Sure, celebrate pi day, but the truth is that nothing relating to pi ever happened on March 14th to prompt us to recognize this day as pi day. Pi could be any number, such as 9.12, and we'd still celebrate it.

March 14 marks the date of birth of a man who changed the world with his discoveries. The fact that we celebrate the birthdays of Mark Twain, Charles Dickens, and Abe Lincoln should make us more than qualified to celebrate Einstein's big day.

So enjoy your circular pie, but bake a small cake too, for Albert's sake. Shaped like a wormhole. With light particles. And the mass-energy equivalence formula written on top.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
