We bought a new Fridge/Freezer, Dishwasher and Double Oven from Lowes last week, primarily because a) they had demo's for every model we wanted to buy (can't underestimate the ability to test the product before purchase) and b) he was a nice guy. Seriously,

I may be slow to have noticed Woot, but I mention them here in case you, discerning reader, are slower. I wish I could remember who told me about them, or did I just find them (I doubt it)? In any case, Woot (most definately NOT w00t or Woot! ) is an

The hell with it, I'm blogging the MVP conference. It's been great, but probably not for the reasons that it should have been! I admit it; I didn't attend many sessions - I'm here for the ASP Insiders summit next week too and in comparison we get one-on-one
