I know you’re all wondering how the gadget junkie did this holiday season, so here goes: For myself, with my Christmas bonus money, I bought a Cannon PowerShot SD 780 IS digital camera. It’s a very small 12.1 mp digital camera with tons of cool features, most of which I’ll never fully understand, I’m sure. It has a 2.5″ color TFT active matrix display, self timer delay, PictBridge support, in-camera red-eye fix, blink detection, motion detection, and a TON of other stuff. This is a very nice camera and it was insanely inexpensive. It support resolutions of up to 4000×3000. That’s HUGE. That’s so big that you can zoom in on facial imperfections and correct them in Photoshop, without it looking weird…
From my lovely wife and my son I got a TomTom 325 SE GPS system. I’m sure my wife was thinking it would go nicely with my new car that I bought this summer, and she was correct. It looks great and it works great.
I also received some random, non-techie stuff. My Dad, for some reason, decided to get all of the guys a set of stubby tools for our toolboxes. So I now have a stubby hammer, a stubby cresent wrench, and a stubby screw driver. Very funny, and actually pretty practical too. I’ve already used the screw driver on a household project.
Of course I also received cash. You can never really go wrong with cash. It’s the perfect gift. With it I got my family a long awaited Costco membership, and I bought myself a bunch of clothes for the gym and a couple of nice shirts for work.
Gotta go. My wife is freaking out because I posted some pictures on Facebook that I took with my new camera from Christmas morning… something about her in her pajamas or something… Merry Christmas!
