• Today's Woot! is a Toofertoosday: two KidSmart Vocal Smoke Detectors for $14.99. The theory behind these devices is that children are more likely to wake up to the soothing sound of their parents' voices than the shrieking ululation of a siren. Although not a parent, I can imagine a lot of fun to be had with this. For example, record yourself screaming, "Wake up! You're covered in spiders!" then let the pot roast burn while your sweet, angelic brats and up for their nap.
