Christmas for the wife and I was pretty thin this year but the kids got enough stuff to make it OK for everyone.

Miriam's favorite gadget was a Crayola light pen and Gwen's was Crazy Aaron's color-changing Thinking Putty.  Good times for all!

(If anyone wnats to send me their old, broken down gadgets from last year (for the kids) I'll accept them.  )

Didn't get one gadget. 

I got a 7 port USB HUB (It was desperatley needed) and Iomega ScreenPlay TV Link Multimedia Adaptor. The Multimedia adaptor is great. I can watch all my digital movies through a flash drive or portable HD on my HDTV or any TV I plug it into.

I didn't get any gadgets this year--I am that family member who doesn't want anything and is really hard to buy for.   But I did give away an E-reader (a Nook), and a 24" monitor to someone who was using a 14" CRT for their desktop.   I plan to give myself a Verizon Droid before too long.

My wife got me a TomTom.....not sure why as I've exlpained to her many times.....I'm a man, therefore I never get lost

I do occasionally take an indirect route to my destination

I got some money, which will be used to help with my Pandora funds. Since it's going to a cool gadget, does that count?

I have a DVD player that has a USB port, I watch movies from a flash drive!! 

Sony Reader Pocket edition. Since I read at least one book a week, it is super convenient.

Ipod touch 3g, 32 gig. It ROX..

Dewalt cordless circular saw, sander,worklight,sawzall,Power drill set.

55 piece pneumatic set with, dremmel tool,impact wrench, sander,socketwrench,air hammer and sorted bits connectors.

10 watt police LED flashlight with focus.

I didn't know such a thing existed. Cool.

I like what I got. It's smaller than a blackberry, so very portable. Only bug I have with it is using USB's. If it has software preinstalled, it reads that as a partition and won't read anything other than the 'first' partition. I have to find USBs that have no partitions or software installed.

25' monitor, A print from iso50 called "winter", A book called CSS Anthology by Rachel Andrew, And my favorite was a self portrait of my mom she did before she died that i had not seen before. Oh, and we got the family a Nintendo Wii.  Not all gadgets, but thats what i got.

Next year I'm gonna see if I can get a gadget for our butcher... to save hime having to use that confounded piece of string.

What piece of string, you might ask???  Put it this way, when I saw it hanging out of the top of his pants, I felt compelled to ask: "WHY????"

His explnation was that the other end was tied to his whatchamaclallit, and he used it to save wasting some much water from washing his hands.  "Well that's alright, I replied: " but how on earth do you get it back in your pants???

"Oh, that's easy," he answered: "I use my tongs!" 

Yup, a gadget is definitely in order there.

I bought a WD TV last year and it's still one on the best devices I've ever picked up. I've been thinking about getting one of the new live versions, but since I've got mine hooked to the net anyway I'm not sure if I need one.

I got a 1.75 liter bottle of Stoli

My daughter got a Sony Cybershot, IPOD Touch, and a Propel cell phone with unlimited text. I got jeans.
