One Product Shopping

Some of you may know about Woot, where every day they offer one item for sale, and one item only. (Except for woot-offs, but set that aside for the purposes of this discussion.)

Apparently, amazon.com has decided this is a great marketing technique, and will be offering one item and one item only. As you can see, that item is the forthcoming Harry Potter book. What makes this interesting is that it's not even available yet. You may, however, pre-order.

Clogged

1. Work.

2. School.

3. Social occasions (yeah, some match.com, go figure, I made a resolution, so sue me).

4. Family stuff.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

Why things have piled up to almost overwhelming proportions, I couldn't say. But it seems completely out of hand.
