I got a totally unexpected iPod Touch today. Didn't think I needed one, given my Windows Mobile Phone and the 3G iPod I got last year.

I was wrong. As much as I like my phone, I find the Touch's screen and browser just so dang sexy that I don't even know if I can go back to looking at the browser on my phone ever again.

Haven't even watched any movies or listened to music on it yet.

Well, I can haz flight cancellations so I still haven't opened presents with my family yet, but so far from my in-laws:

1) A container of homemade butter tarts. Aw yeah.
2) A big Toblerone bar
3) A box of Glosette Raisins
4) Amazon gift card

Basically, one heck of a tasty pile Of course, I played Santa for myself and found the following under the tree:

1) Canon 5D Mark II
2) Canon 70-200 f/2.8 IS Lens

But honestly, so far the butter tarts are the best!

Haha! Bad dad! Though I'd probably have done the same thing.

Browser's not bad, but it doesn't handle large pages too well (loads pages partially so you'll need to wait for the device to render it. So there are times when my E71 is better, despite the smaller screen.

I get by with the best of both worlds by using my phone to act as a wifi router. Technicaly I get dual screens on the go if I feel like it. :P Now I just need a contraption to hold both devices together with one hand.


As for myself, I got myself a lens. Not new, but second hand. That's about it in terms of tech gifts.

Thank you so much. Yep, actually I wonder if I could get an "awake during the day - sleep at night" application for him.

Oh, and nice that you had a Macallan. That's a very good Scotch!

Nope, just the bottle, but I got the Glenlevitt last year with the nice glasses.

Goodwill I asked everyone to donate money to one of my favorite charities instead.
