• Today’s Woot!: a Toshiba Docking Station/USB Ethernet Hub with Dolby Digital for $49.99. Doesn’t require a Toshiba laptop. Looks most useful as a way of getting some decent sound out of your crappy laptop speakers, but perhaps the hardcore networking types require 4 Ethernet ports.

• Nothing’s sexier than paying for that hot date with a gift certificate. On the other hand, for up to 60% off, you can’t go wrong. Go to restaurant.com, enter a zip code, add some certificates to your cart and enter code 65096 at Check Out.
