No tech gifts for me this year, though I did get some gift cards for Canadian Tire and Future Shop which will probably end up spent on gadgets pretty soon. I did get a small mountain of DVDs, including “Ratatouille” and the new “Casino Royale”.

I also got to meet my brand-new 6-week old niece. Awwww.

I gave Mom a portable photoprinter now that she’s experimenting with digital photography. And Mom, my brother, and I will be getting a GPS unit for Dad’s car for his birthday soon.

OK, I’m a little slow on the uptake(’cause of holiday travel), but here goes!

The tech was crazy here. My 11-year-old son is a total game geek, so that sets the tone, for sure. Based on something he wanted, and something my wife wanted, we got something cool (which, secretly, I wanted!) and tech. We got a PS/3! It’s in one of my A/V cabinets, next to the Wii, Xbox 360, PS/2, and Gamecube… oh, and the N64! :) My son and wife have gameplay on their minds (And I have to admit Heavenly Sword, and the upcoming GT5 series, and continued Devil May Cry series, have my gaming attention), but I wanted it for the Blu-Ray player. Sure, I could have bought a Blu-ray player, but now I have one device that does twice the work (with appropriate firmware upgrades it even supports BD 1.1. To me, the coolest part of this tech is that it can interface with my son’s PSP. Talk about “technology WOW factor!”

Other than that, I got the latest Blade Runner complete Blu-ray kit. Very geeky, but very cool.

James: Loved your charging do-dad. That is awesome!

Wifey got me a clock radio I can dock my ipod in. It doesn’t sound like much but for my wife it was a miracle. She bought it all by herself AND it was exactly what I wanted. Yes, there is a Santa Claus.

I got myself a HP tx1219au Tablet PC. It’s great!

Nothing! It was awesome! I got a big ole leather biker jacket (it’s called a Brando jacket), gloves and specialized mask for cold weather riding. And none of it will have crashed, broken, run out of storage or need new batteries by tomorrow!

I recieved a SuperTooth Light …just set it up…very cool… Haven’t tried it in my car yet but the sound tests within the house were VERY Clear!

Nothing techy for me this year.

Aside from my Voyager, which was half of a gift, and half of my responsibility to pay for, I received mostly gift cards, and some cash to pay for some vacations.

I plan on purchasing an iPod touch soon, however.

Glad everyone had a great holiday!

I got a digital photo frame and a ASUS Eee PC.

A dog? Where do you stick the batteries for one of those?

Not a one! Instead, we decided to hit up the SPCA and give a home to a dog. Kelso, a 10-month old yellow lab arrives tomorrow, so instead of having gadgets all around the house, we’ve been hiding them all so they don’t get chewed up! Unfortunately, every time I hide our two cats, they find a way out, so they’re on their own tomorrow. ;)

Slingbox Pro. I love it!

I got an OLPC for myself, plus one for a needy child in a developing country.

I got myself a Lenovo X61 tablet for Christmas. Nice, nice, nice. :)

The usual lump of coal. And it has a parallel port!!

Sweet, Keith!

Lucky me, the Cincinnati CompUSA doesn’t have a display Advantage to entice customers, you have to know about it and ask for them to get it out of the back, so they had multiple left. And now they have one fewer :)

Merry Christmas/Happy Birthday to me!
