Ask HN: What did you get for Christmas?
25 comments
Today I got some social obligations I couldn't get out of, and...that was it.
Hmm, let see, all my family's back in India, so a whole day on the internet with my reader feed running on empty. Close to zero posts everywhere except HN today.
A day to myself. :)
Sony LiveView controller for my Android - haven't played with it yet but hoping it's a good prototype of what might be increasingly common auxiliary controller for mobile devices.
Mongoose poop coffee beans.
Hopefully Metaprogramming Ruby but it's yet to arrive...
A Faith No More t-shirt that says, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY FUCKER".
Got Dance Central for my sister, for her xbox Kinect, it's awesome.
Happy days :)

From my fiancée I got a Dell Inspiron Zino media center pc, a Dell Inspiron 15 laptop, a foldable mountain bike and a 2 year membership to 24 Hour Fitness. She got a digital camera with a memory card filled with pictures of Bali, Indonesia. A half hour later, she got the plane tickets and hotel reservations for the actual trip.
I got a kindle and a feeling of disappointment that many of the books on my wishless don't have kindle versions :(
Here is a tip: use instapaper with kindle. When you are at your computer mark articles as "Save for Later", then convert all those articles into one Kindle-formatted file and drag and drop to your kindle to read them anywhere.
My whole family felt entirely spoiled this year so next year we're ditching gifts and donating to the Pinball Clement Foundation (http://www.mpcf.ca/).
Anywho, Neoprene iPad Case, microSD card for phone, desperately needed wallet, RobotShop gift card.

A sweater, hockey pants, hockey puck and a HEXbug (http://www.hexbug.com/original). We give each member of our immediate family a gift, so that's why there's so many :)
A long sleeved Canada t-shirt, a hoody, a word and number puzzle book, a wooden 3d puzzle, lots of chocolate, and I bought myself some ice skates and a trip to Ontario to see 2 of my sisters and their families.

I am not Cristina but still I got together with friends and drank a lot of chocolate based drinks (we even tried taking shots of melted black chocolate, my advice, DON'T).
