    No pics (too lazy at the moment - and they're all over the house) but between me and the wife we added a ps3 to the console collection, a new 11.6" acer laptop to replace her celeron 900 asus, my son got a new 32" tv for the xbox in his room along with a nice leather chair and a couple xbox games, a logitech keyboard/touchpad combo for the media centre, and a Wacom Bamboo tablet for me. Throw in entirely too much chocolate, and a fair pile of games for the xbox and ps3 and I think we made out pretty well.

    Current Projects: Lobo | Unimatrix | High Voltage | Antec 900 Revamp (Phase 2)
    Completed Projects: General Lee | Synergy Green | Liquid Yellow
    Planned Projects: K-9-PC | Limey

    I did pretty well this year.

    Lego set #7964 Republic Frigate




    Hand made shorts from my mom (a coveted item in my family)


    My TBCS Secret Santa present, thanks to Will (985323). I have more photos of the unboxing that I will post in the SS thread when my S.O's dad takes them off his camera.


    The rest of the haul...

    Star Wars: The Old Republic for PC plus 60 day game card
    Star Wars books: Riptide and Choices of One plus Draw Star Wars The Clone Wars
    Lego Star Wars Darth Vader watch
    Candy lego
    Toblerone Bar
    Under Armour Socks
    Magic Fire Packet (makes a fire burn with different colours)
    Underwear (not shown )
    A fleece vest and a white hoodie

    One of the greatest gifts I got this year was my luggage that was lost on Dec. 23rd. It was delivered mid-afternoon today!
    Plus gift cards and cash, some of which is going towards a Kinect!
    Last Christmas present comes next week when I go with my S.O's family to the Dominican Republic!

    I call my TGS computer an early Christmas present



    I got myself a decent-sized RC car.

    Got the battery charged..... Crappy RC system. Dang good plastic.


    What's happening is, ~6+" away, no signal, ~6-3", stuttery (the motor and servo stutters), ~<3", perfect signal.



    Ripped it apart (enough, that is) to find out what's wrong with it until I upgrade the RC system. PLENTY of room in the RC for a 'controller.


    WL to come!
    With pix!
    Two years. They were great. Let's make the next ones even better!

    Tri.fecta

    Really not much, but the kid made out like a bandit. But then again, I don't do presents at Christmas. Detracts form the real meaning in my eyes. So I give (since others get their feelings hurt without gifts) but I always ask for nothing in return. If they can't do nothing, a donation to charity in my name would suffice. Still waiting for the year that everyone honors my wishes.
