They present the top 11 <a href="http://www.bbspot.com/News/2004/12/top_11_worst_geek_christmas_gifts.html">worst Geek Christmas gifts</a> as well as the top 11 <a href="http://www.bbspot.com/News/2004/12/top_11_geek_christmas.html">ways Geeks celebrate Christmas</a>. Here's a few items from that last list:<br /><br />5 - Put a santa hat on your avatar.<br />4 - Change the blue neon lights in the case to flashing red and green.<br />3 - Decorating the tree with SDRAM and CPUs burned out from your last overclocking experiment.<br />2 - Rewriting Christmas carols in Tolkien's Elvish.<br />1 - Programming the christmas lights to flash out "I hate this holiday of unbridled consumerism" in binary.<br />I seriously considered doing nr 5 till lack of time got the better of me. :lol: Well, not long to go now. How many of you are hoping for Pocket PC related gifts tomorrow and have you been good boys and girls to get the goodies? :wink:

Well, at work we decorated our christmas tree using old cd-r's that we don't use anymore and other stuff like floppy disks etc...So I guess me and my colleagues are pretty geeky ;)

I'm with you on number 1, I wish I could hibernate like Squirrels do, Bah humbug!

5. Put a santa hat on your avatar.
Does decorating the Activesync logo in red and green count?(Look at my avatar) :lol:

As for what I want that is PPC related, I'm hoping for a Bluetooth keyboard and/or mouse, or maybe a second battery for my X30... :)

I've noticed that one for a while now. It does count. You win. ;)

I, like Jonathon, was also thinking of "decorating" my avatar, but time got the better of me.

We had a "Christmas Hat" thread where a few photoshop experts went around hatting everyone who wanted to be hatted :)
