Happy Independence Day! Are you flying the flag?

Jul 4, 2012 8:12 AM

I am. Hope everyone else is, too. If you can't have a big flag, please display a little one. This is OUR day to be proud of our country.

Love the U.S.! Have a great 4th, with family, friends and delicious food, too. Fireworks are icing on the cake. Take care, but enjoy. I so love sparklers...do they still sell those? And ladyfingers?

I don't have a flag to fly, here away from home. But I do feel a little more comfortable being patriotic, now in Brazil, than I did in China, haha.

I'm wearing red-white-blue colors, and making sure everyone in the office knows that it's our great homeland's birthday!

Later, for dinner, I'm going to do the most American thing I can here, and find a McDonald's in this city :)

Happy 4th everyone! Fly a flag for me, while I do my best to represent us abroad!

We have the flag on a permanent place at the front of the house.

Off topic, but a question that's been on my mind for a week.

@dmaz: Were you ever asked to be on TV in China?

@gideonfrost: Not on television (that I know of), but I did make local news. A lot of my friends in Qingdao (a nearby, more international city) were on TV for various promotions and events. I was surprised at how common it was!
I was asked to model, though.

@dmaz: Would you like me to send you one? It would be a privilege to do so.

@magic cave: Really? I would feel very honored! It's a long way for mail to travel to Brazil, though!

@dmaz: If you'll PM me with an address, I'll send one along. Is 3'x5' a good size for you? It's what we fly at our house, and it's large enough to be nicely visible yet small enough for easy handling. It'll take me a few days to get one in hand, and then I'll send it along to you.

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.
