@geXXos
Mind sharing the price? I'm thinking about getting something similar for my trips to the woods.

As for gifts, I discussed what I wanted for Christmas with my parents and got a green light for buying a book about computer architecture that I wanted. The rest of the day was spent with family.

Since nobodies started this thread yet it would appear, what did you get for christmas???

I got a 42inch plasma tv, a 1tb external harddrive, 5 sets of guitar strings, a Stevie Ray Vaughn tab book, an RC car, a $75 gamestop card, a bass guitar amp, an original xbox, a vegetarian cookbook, and a tattoo of a variation of the backtrack logo that I designed . Oh and about $550 in christmas money, but 90% of it came from my grandpa that gave me a bunch because he might not know who I am next year :/ he has really bad alzheimers .

This is actually alot for me, I'm really surprised with how much I got this year. I think it might be in part because I'm moving out in a few months, but it seems like people just randomly had money to spend on pointless things so they gave me stuff . Normally I wouldn't have gotten the TV or the tattoo, and probably not nearly that much money. Those 3 things were the most expensive out of mine and my christmas would have probably been affordable if it wasn't for those..

Holy poopdick!!

What I got:

- guitar strings
- guitar polish
- Uhhh...
- $50 jewel gift card(will undoubtedly be spent on groceries this month)
- Ermm..
- Drunk

I always wanted to learn to play le guitar. I think I would like the violin more though. But drunk is always good. +1 on drunk.

Well, I got about $250 in cash, about $150 in gift cards, various clothing items, SOCKS!, and my girlfriend is getting me a rasberry pi and she is taking me to see The Hobbit. I'm also giving myself an ounce and a new piece.


I got way more than I expected this year. This year was like the hardest year my family has had, but one of the best Christmases I've had in a while.

Raspberry Pi Oh My Godzzzzz, techb drooooolzzzz. If she ordered it a month or so ago you'll get it soon, if not you have a bit of a wait. If you need help with it or anything, I'm here for ya. I couldn't wait for a RasPi so I got BeagleBoard instead. But really, throw Arch****** or Ubuntu on it and epic things can happen. I wish I had one to at least see the bandwagon, but really once you get it you can do some cool shit. Like a MAME controller, or even Legacy console controller, robotics, wardraving like a boss, handheld anything, flying cracker, anything... Hell do like me and get some OpenCV on it and gunturret/wearable-computer-thing.

I'm here to help if you get stuck.

You could build a flying (if you had a hobby plane) war driver. We are talking somthing that flys with GPS check-points, breaking WEP wifi and gathering data along with other things. It could log said wifi points, with realtime data, then creak said points.

If you went another way with it, OpenVC to do object tracking, pending on what sensors you intergrated, thermal vision, distance, GPS way-points, text message based updates, etc.... Embedded things can be epic. Just saying with a $35 device.

A knocked up wife and 8 hours of double time and a hydrocodone from a concerned friend who didn't want me to go ballistic on people at work during those 8 hours.
