What did you get for Xmas?
« on: Thu, 17 December 2015, 16:23:07 »
Were you a good little geekhacker this year? What did Santa get you?

The gifts have begun. Got a Target gift card and this sweet Jelly Belly dispenser from co-workers.

My gf got me a coffee maker. Nothing That will bring me to the standards of those in the coffee exchange, but just enough to mean I can make myself some nice coffees and hot chocolate, even if the pods are expensive...

Mine broke this year so we got my father's-in-law old one, which is pretty good. Incidentally, I also got an espresso machine as a review sample, but haven't even opened it yet.

Got a really nice haul I almost feel guilty about it  :-X



some things not pictured: about half a box of coffee crisps (I guess Hoffman was actually Santa this year but got hungry and ate the rest), and $10 Chick Fil A gift card that went MIA until later in the day



really nice polo, a coat is underneath (nothing fancy) and some kenneth cole reaction shoes (a favorite of mine)


the two things I was really hoping to get this year! Fallout Anthology and wireless powerbeats  :D

Parents kept asking for a list so I told them the 3 things I want (tsovet watch, new earbuds, and rent money) sometime in late november. After all the pressure they ignore the list and just tell everyone cash.

Walked away with $1k (have a huge family btw), darn tough socks (best socks ever), and a watch strap. Overall one of the best years for gifts, all cash was the way to go.  :))

Keyboard related my GH60 PCB was released and I got a Maplin gift card which may well be spent on blank PCB so I can try DIY etching, and a clip on macro lens for designed for phone cameras which could be good for crazy artisan closeups.  Sadly the phone I'd like to use it with is too fat, so I'm looking into alternative mounting arrangements.

More importantly though I got enough socks to see me through the year :))

New NFS, a knife and some athletic tape


Not the biggest sweater fan (it doesnt get super cold here) but the colors go well with dark blue jeans (what im usually wearing)

Random sweater that is too small for my brother, so it got passed to me

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Just counted, I got 19 gift cards. Can't complain since I asked for Amazon gift cards but now I got them all in $25 and $50 increments so I'll have a lot of redeeming to do.
