It has been a "no tech" Christmas for me. But I still got one of the best things ever: my first son was born on December 22nd. It's fantastic. I'm pretty sure though, that I'll get myself a HTC Touch HD in January. :-)

I got my gifts earlier this year. A Canon Rebel XS and an Amazon Kindle.

I got a Fujitsu Lifebook U820 UMPC. It's a sweet little bugger, but was an indulgence cost-wise.

I received a nice set of collector baseballs from my girlfriend's mother which will be going up on my sports shelf in my office (go Cowboys.

The best gift for me was my girlfriend gave me (how she found it I have no idea since I had never heard of it) Prince's Indigo Nights / Live Session CD in London.

The best gift for me was seeing our daughters eyes light up with the MAC Book Pro I gave her (These things are way over priced), but it was what she wanted and needed. Heck, this thing is so sweet I am tempted to get one for myself.

But the best gift for me was a framed 8x10 picture of my daughter just for dad.

The only piece of tech I got was a pair of Shure earphones. An excellent present as I go through headphones at a frightening rate (1-2 pairs a year).

My relatives and friends usually avoid buying me techy gifts. They know I have no willpower and buy everything I need, and more, myself.

Before I get to myself, I tried my best to find a Zune Speaker dock system for my fiancé @ a LOCAL store here in town (Denver, CO). I was shocked that most stores stopped carrying Zune Accessories 3-6 months ago due to low demand. Microcenter, BestBuy, Ultimate Electronics and a few more stores that used to carry Zune stuff no longer support it anymore. Should I be worried? Because of that reason I’m seriously thinking about switching out HER Zune for an iPod—that’ll be a pain the butt though because of all the potential DRM/software license issues. It’s just frustrating because Microsoft doesn’t seem to be pushing Zune very well and it’s losing support from major stores as a result. I got her a crock pot instead (next on her list) lol.fficeffice" />>>

Dead zombies and scotch? That sounds like a fun night all around

I didn't really get any tech presents from anyone else this year, though I did buy myself a fancy Acer Aspire One and a extra 1GB stick of RAM. Also, like Chris, I too got a nice bottle of scotch from a client - Macallan 12yr.

That is what my daughter has been saying about this super cool planetarium/projector contraption I bought her

Congrats! Though technically your son is a tiny bio-computer waiting for you to program him
