Post by: Computer-Lab in Basement on Fri, 21 December 2012, 17:14:50
Title says it all.  What did you get?

I got one gift early: a new window regulator for my car. Yay! :D

Since my family is in Utah, I had Christmas sort of, when I was down earlier this month.

I got a nice black WiiU. What can I say, I'm a sucker for Nintendo :D

Nice... would love a WiiU, but they're too expensive... might get one for myself soon, for my birthday...

We celebrate Hanukkah and Christmas in my family.  Hanukkah haul was pretty weak on tech gifts from others, but my wife and I bought ourselves a 55" plasma, and I bought myself a G80-2100HDU, if self-gifts count :D  Christmas haul will include a QFR (thank you for the heads up, Amazon wish list), but not sure what else, if anything.  Also, my company instituted a new policy where they'll reimburse up to $1000 for a new laptop (they won't have loaner laptops anymore so they're compensating I guess), and I bought a Lenova Yoga 13 with that money.  Still getting used to Win8, but I like the hardware.

I got this bad boy 14" ultrabook to replace my aging macbook pro, glad to be back on windows with both machines, not just my desktop.

http://www.amazon.com/HP-ENVY-14-3010NR-Spectre-Ultrabook/dp/B0076BDBDE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1356132045&sr=8-1&keywords=hp+envy+spectre+14

Also for myself I got some keycaps coming in, the gentlemen's set and nyan cat will be here just after the holidays, as well as the AKG Q701's that bace is selling.

That's probably about it, as suckery as it sounds the best part about christmas now is spending it with family, my brother is flying out from oregon for a couple days so that'll be nice and then I'm gonna be up there for new years which is my dads bday so it's nice to be there for that.  And of course I'll probably get some gift cards, random camping stuff, and a sweater or two.

This Christmas my family gave me money. Awesome because now i will save it and buy the WASD tenkeyless in cherry mx Red, Blue and Brown. I will also be selling my Filco cherry mx red, CM Storm Blue, Leopold Brown and Tournament edition Razer Blackwidow. I am debating selling my rarely used HHKB white because i just can't afford all these keyboards and the space that they consume adds up.  :mad:

Bacon bark, chocolate-dipped bacon strips, bacon popcorn, bacon jam, bacon mustard... anyone else notice the theme here?
Giant Toblerone.
Hole saws.
Mounts for my GoPro.
Picture of my dog in a frame that says "Bad to the Bone" which is pretty true since he's spent the past few days being very naughty and eating all sorts of things he's not supposed to.
My gift to me: set of unprinted black keys (with spacebar), 4 blue unprinted keys, and 12 clear (unprinted) keys. Put the black keys and the blue keys on the Fraken M, and 8 of the clear ones on the 1390120. What I found odd was that the black keys from Unicomp were all single-piece, but the blue ones are two-piece.

I'm not sure what I like the most, today's haul isn't quite as cool (though pretty damn close) as the jerky and the new cab for my truck I already got.

A shotgun for myself for trap shooting(870 with a Timney Trigger and a adjustable stock), 2 different shotguns for my sister for trapshooting since she's difficult (Remmington 870 stock, and a over-under that I can't recall at the moment), and a Montgomery Ward 30-30 for hunting.

I LOVE blues. I've tried reds, blacks, and browns but I really think blues are my favorites. I do a lot of writing and it's just so much fun to type on them. Plus I never had complaints about playing games on them. Glad you agree haha.

That being said, I'd love to get my hands on as many switches as I can, just to try them out. I would love to get my hands on Mr. Interface's Switch Sample Bag (http://deskthority.net/marketplace-f11/introducing-the-mrinterface-switch-sample-bag-t3189.html). Either to buy or just to try out. But I hang out here so I don't really know what the rules are for buying on Deskthority. Oh well, hopefully they pop up on the marketplace here.

I would love to get my hands on Mr. Interface's Switch Sample Bag (http://deskthority.net/marketplace-f11/introducing-the-mrinterface-switch-sample-bag-t3189.html). Either to buy or just to try out. But I hang out here so I don't really know what the rules are for buying on Deskthority. Oh well, hopefully they pop up on the marketplace here.

green and white is the only switch after blues :)

Bread board and asst. accessories
.010" flux dispenser,
6" scale,
drill collar assortment
3ft pickup tool
jack stands
2.5ton hydraulic jack


My favorite moment was when my Bro-in-law opened a "personal cleaning kit" (soaps and smelly stuff) that had the large-type call-out of "Get started!"  as tho he'd never cleaned himself before.

Me too!  I bought a big lego starter set for my son this year:

@hashbaz

Dude, the Lego starter set is SO good. I wanted to get the first set of the Lego Master Builder Academy. But I couldn't find it.

@sth

Redwall tattoo...Like the Brian Jacques Redwall book series?? I grew up on those books. They're amazing. What did you get inked?

@demik

I heard that greens are a stiffer blue and I've not heard that much about whites. What's your take on them?

i got 'eulalia' in cursive over a spear, with '47th' off to the side under the spear (as in basil stag hare, of the 47th hare border patrol aka fur and foot fighting patrol)

whites are similar to greens IIRC.

i haven't typed on a board with one yet (MMB still has mine as he's switching out from brown to white) but i'll let you know when I get it.

not only is it the best toy, you got it in the best switch!

I LOVE blues. I've tried reds, blacks, and browns but I really think blues are my favorites. I do a lot of writing and it's just so much fun to type on them. Plus I never had complaints about playing games on them. Glad you agree haha.

That being said, I'd love to get my hands on as many switches as I can, just to try them out. I would love to get my hands on Mr. Interface's Switch Sample Bag (http://deskthority.net/marketplace-f11/introducing-the-mrinterface-switch-sample-bag-t3189.html). Either to buy or just to try out. But I hang out here so I don't really know what the rules are for buying on Deskthority. Oh well, hopefully they pop up on the marketplace here.
Go check out the pay it forward thread in the classifieds. Or PM me haha

I have a WASD sample pack I'm trying to get rid of: http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/wasd-sampler-kit.html

It's lacking majorly compared to Mr Interface's bags though

My family doesn't usually do gifts (we're often overseas during Christmas anyway), but this year my parents decided to help me relive one of my childhood loves (I'm now 21) with this:

Such an awesome set!

not only is it the best toy, you got it in the best switch!
In which case you'll be happy to know that my Phantom will be my introduction to blues. :D
that's awesome. hopefully you like it!

Blues rockkkkkk :) Although I'll have a board with Ergo Clears next week, so I hope I like those too.

What I did to get a taste of every switch was order one of each with my order of MX Clears from 7bit's GB on DT. So now I have 9 different Cherry switches (Clicky: Blue, Green, White; Tactile: Brown, Clear, Grey; Linear: Dark Grey, Black, Red; no MX Lock) as a little sampler. Pretty simple ordering just by sending a PM and it only cost me an extra $7 or so.

Holy **** I'm so jealous of that Lego set. The shuttle is so amazing. Thanks for the tip about DT, I'll have to look into it. I've been on GH mainly so I don't know too much about DT.

Also, I am super intrigued by Ergo Clears. I'm really hoping I can try them one day.

It is pretty amazing :) It stands at around 47cm tall, so I've yet to find a shelf that fits it to display it in my room.

The only Lego sets I really like at this age are space-themed ones, Star Wars or large Technic vehicles.

I really like space-themed sets and Spongebob-themed sets. Otherwise, I like vehicle sets too.
