What Was Under Your Tree Yesterday?

[Jason Dunn]

So what gifts did yesterday bring? It doesn't even have to be digital media related, or <gasp> technology related! Of course, I know not everyone celebrates Christmas, so share the festivities and gifts (mostly gifts!) you enjoyed on your particular holiday. Or did you give someone else a particularly special gift? Stories welcome!

Welll...
My brother and sister teamed up with me to get our mother an LCD HD Monitor (37"/1080p--easy to guess brand and model) and an XBOX360 (via VGA cable, of course) for use as a media center. I added a full copy of Bejeweled in case she get curious about gaming on it. :twisted:

My brother got a Gigabeat S black+4 months of Naptser-to-go.
My sister got a motobecane road bike which she won't ride until her swollen knee gets better.
And I got, a very nice designer-brand sweater. :lol:

My mom, sister, and her boyfriend went in on a Saitek x52 for me, since I'm hooked on Flight Sim X lately. I also got a ton of assorted Canadian chocolate, and a bunch of Asham-branded curling stuff (glasses, sweater, keychain, etc.) Oh, and a GC to BHPhoto.com which is already spent :)

Years ago I decided that as a favor to my family I would create an Amazon wishlist and point people to it. I tell them they don't have to buy it from Amazon, just use it as a list of stuff they know I want.

This year my dad got me FIFA Soccer for the Xbox 360, completely missing the fact that the 360 itself was about 3 slots up on the wishlist... :?

All my best Xmas presents this year I bought for myself: a Cingular 3125 ($100 after rebate) and a Zune. Lorri bought me floor-level tickets for my favorite band (at $95 each), but the concert was over a month ago.

My wife and her brother got me a Canon HV10 to add to my arsenal of digital equipment / toys / gadgets.

The question I have for the Thoughts' team is:
Since the camera does not come with any HD editing software, are there any recommendations?

(I have toyed with Premiere Elements 3.0, but there is no Preview during capture.. otherwise it is good plus).

Thanks!!

Happy Holidaze :D

I got a copy of Flight Sim X for Christmas. I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but I'm very anxious. Should go well with my CH gear (Yoke and Pedals).

I bought this new MCE computer a couple of months ago and for Chrstmas decided to finally take advantage of its abilities. First step, getting the right kind of broadband service so I can watch TV and record as DVR is the greatest invention of the past decade. Step two will be the XBox so I can stream the media (mainly my vast music collection) to the home stereo system. It's downstairs- anybody got experience streaming music that far?

Around here? A lot of folks.
Rest assured it works fine. :-)

Well, I got my copy of FSX for about $15, which seems dirt cheap until you realize that I got sick of playing it on my Athlon 64 with a crappy video card, and dropped $1k on a new computer :)

But it sure plays nice on the new machine. I guess that was a Christmas present from me to me!

I went from using a yoke and pedals with Flight Sim X to just an Xbox 360 controller. Rudder is on the trigger, and you have the advantage of the right hand analogue controller for looking around the virtual cockpit.

I got a family christmas at my girlfriends place... very nice.. I've been away from Home (NZ) for a few years so havent had a nice "traditional" family sit down christmas..

I got a new iPod replacing my old 3g that died last month. I got my wife a Roady XT Sat Rad for her car so she can listen to the 80's channel all day.

[Philip Colmer]

My favourite present was a TMX Elmo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74MKKhrGoM0). Yes ... it was a present to me, not from me :)

Guaranteed to bring a smile to my face!

A Phillips Digital Photo frame for my husband. Read the reviews everywhere and even had a hard time finding it. Luckily there were just a few left locally and I was able to nab one. Aside from that there was some Tiffany jewelry for me and some cool toys for our son. Fun times!
