How'd you do?

Ok, it's officially Christmas now, which means it's time to fess up: What'd you get? These days everyone we know is afraid to buy us anything even remotely electronic (which is fine, they'd probably screw it up anyway), so we have no choice but to live vicariously through you guys.

P.S. - Merry Christmas!

Thats where you can buy one if you like the idea of a USB Drumming Santa *after* christmas.

[Alex @ Dec 19th 2005 12:08AM]

I got a remote car starter, $340 in cash, Seinfeld Season 3, and a 512MB SD card for my Canon PowerShot SD300. I plan on spending half of the money on a DVD/VCR combo player and the other half will go towards my car payment.

[Catgirl @ Dec 19th 2005 12:08AM]

I got a rock.

[Touhid Choudhury @ Dec 19th 2005 12:08AM]

I'm not Christian so it's not strictly Christmas presents. But I got myself a Nintendo DS and imported a Sony PSP. Then I sold the PSP because I couldn't afford the high import prices.

[KevinG @ Dec 19th 2005 12:08AM]

Well, i got the whole dilbert collection, with 2 video games, half life 2 and alice. Though, since my dad errr i mean santa ;) didn't bring me anything he is "Going to get me any mp3 player". Just not a ipod though, so its eh.

[Zack Mahdavi @ Dec 19th 2005 12:08AM]

I got a new Samsonite suitcase! I never ask for electronics, except for any music or movies!

[Bryan... @ Dec 19th 2005 12:08AM]

I got me a Canon Powershot S1 IS. Click on "Bryan..." above for pics. In webshots, below the picture you can click "View Full Size" to see the real pic. I'm pretty impressed with this camera, despite its measly 3.2 megapixel size.

[chris @ Dec 19th 2005 12:08AM]

I got a few DVDs (Spider-Man 2, Look Around You, and I Robot Special Collectors Tin), shower stuff, water-proof clock (?), socks x2, swiss-army knife. Kinda random really.

Everything else i was after was hugely expensive, so i always end up buying that myself anyway!

[Susan @ Dec 19th 2005 12:08AM]

I got an orgasm and my girlfriend got some sperm.

[Chris @ Dec 19th 2005 12:08AM]

Some books and a G5 that i had order a week ago so i knew it was coming.

[Alex @ Dec 19th 2005 12:08AM]

iPod socks, wireless keyboard for my mac. several iTunes gift certificates, and awesome new skis (I knew about them before though, because I picked them out, and had the boots molded to fit my feet. ) clothing too. Santa was very nice this year.

[seawall @ Dec 19th 2005 12:08AM]

two new pair of Alain Mikli [prescription] glasses. Full disclosure - my Mom sent me money for Xmas, so I splurged ;)

[Phil @ Dec 19th 2005 12:08AM]

No new gadgets for me today, though I bought myself an iRiver H140 in September so I'm set for a while. But I got some new books, DVDs, CDs and cash, so I'm happy.

[Callum @ Dec 19th 2005 12:08AM]

I got told to take the dog a walk. Then reminded I spent all my christmas money earlier on travel expenses (to a job interview that never happened) and LOTR EE Box Set. Then fed - that bit was good - then a $4 alarm clock which features a 'mode' button. I got yelled at for enjoying DTS Surround Sound while the old jokes we're lying down... then I logged onto engadget - printed off all the cool stuff i really wanted and -closing my left eye- made everything 2D-tastic. What a terrible 'Christmas' it has been :-( Bah, happy birthday Jesus anyhoo.

[complex @ Dec 19th 2005 12:08AM]

Braun 8585 shaver, which is quite nice, plus some other non-electronic goodies.

[Chung @ Dec 19th 2005 12:08AM]

[Christopher MacManus @ Dec 19th 2005 12:08AM]

A year's worth of stylish clothing, a keen watch from urbanoutfitters.com and a silver Japanese MZ-NH900 Hi-MD unit.

[Will @ Dec 19th 2005 12:08AM]

My family knows better than to buy me gadgets, but they're going to let me pick out new skis, boots, and bindings. I bought myself an i-mate SP3i and a Sirius tuner, though, and my g/f gave me Half Life 2. I hope she doesn't expect to see me for a few weeks!

Merry Christmas everyone.

[Matt @ Dec 19th 2005 12:08AM]

I learned a very important lesson dealing with a Lexar Media JumpDrive. I bought one for my mother as an inexpensive way for her to transport files to work and couldn't get it to work with the front USB ports on her Dell desktop. Come to find out the actual part that that plugs into the computer is not long enough, the plastic of the computer case prevents it from fully connecting. Never expected that.

[Katie @ Dec 19th 2005 12:08AM]

I got a robosapien! Very cool...

[Powerbook @ Dec 19th 2005 12:08AM]

I got a reclining chair with a massage unit built into it from my parents, plus the money to fix the exhaust pipe on my car that broke in half on the drive down to visit them; a mechanical skeleton watch from a friend; a few books from another friend; and a set of Japanese bowls and chopsticks from one of my parents' neighbors I did some free work for. I guess the massage chair is sort of gadget-like. At least it's electrically powered...
