What would be the title of your autobiography?

Sep 24, 2012 12:02 PM

I recently came up for a great name for my autobiography. I work in a field where faxes are still sent back and forth every day, and no matter how many times I request a fax to be sent to Jess (which is my name) I get a fax sent to "Jeff" although one time I got "Jass". So from this I decided my Autobiography would be titled "Attn: Jeff:" with the subtitle "A Layman in a Technical World.", or "The Adventures of a Layman in a Technical World." So what would your autobiography be titled?

"Somehow I manage". It would have a picture of me shrugging on the cover.

What, that's already been taken! D'OH!

There you go. That would be my autobiography title. "D'oh!"

I actually gave this some thought this morning...

In Blade Runner, at the end, moments away from his death, Roy Batty (Rutger Hauer, in arguably his finest role), says:

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die."

It's true, you know.

My autobiography would have that as a title:

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe."

@shrdlu: That's probably my favorite film soliloquy. I was expecting you to finish by titling your autobiography "Time to Die". It's always seemed odd to me to write the story of your life when it isn't done yet. I have a series of photo books which I compose after each of my trips, and I title them "Journeys: The Continued Adventures of Michele, Bob and Steve". I just got back from Costa Rica so I am working on Journeys 6 at the moment. When I am done with living, my Journeys books will pretty much be my autobiography.

@klozitshoper: Or, like the guy said as he was falling from the 50th story window, "So far, so good". That would actually make for a pretty cool book cover, a person falling off a cliff with that title.

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.
