It's over now... I could never get the actual page to load, but the error message was in the URL, saying Free Day has ended. I made it to the final page of the order confirmation process with $72k left to give away and could never get past it.
Any suggestions on a kit / parts for a novice?
pmorici has good recs (XBee is especially fun), but the Arduino starter kit alone can be found here: http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_i...

Wasted my entire morning. Still contemplating on getting at least an Arduino Starter Kit...

I wanted "Programming Interactivity" as well, which is cheaper on Amazon.

I'm going to get the starter kit, but since I have to pay for it, it's cheaper from Hacktronics. They call it something else, but it looks to be the same kit, or maybe better, for my purposes. http://www.hacktronics.com/Arduino/Arduino-Educational-Learn...

It looks more like a self-inflicted DDOS..

PS. Edited a bit..
Perhaps they realized that the site had become unusable and have pulled the plug to try to reduce the load while implementing a fix?
I've never had to do it but I should imagine that a local reverse proxy cache should be able to be setup pretty quickly... That would definitely help them with their main pages (products etc..) and leave their servers free to deal with requests pertaining to making and placing orders.
This is all assuming that their server-side code already outputs the correct cache control headers of course...
