For better or for worse, I didn’t have to suffer through a turkey coma this holiday season, though it sounds like I could be attending another turkey dinner in the next couple of days. I don’t know what it is about Christmas that makes us eat unfathomable quantities of gobbler.
They say it is better to give than it is to receive, but let’s face it: most of us love the prospect of receiving. The gifts themselves don’t have to be expensive, because it is the thought that counts. Just look at the Nintendo 64 kid above. He couldn’t be happier with the arrival of more Mario-themed goodness.
In case you didn’t catch the mention during this week’s Dot Com Pho episode, Susanne bought me a new Wacom Bamboo Tablet
The version I got is the Wacom Bamboo Pen, so it works with the special stylus. The wireless pen does not require any batteries and it’s pressure-sensitive. Don’t ask me how it works. The Wacom tablet will definitely come in handy, especially if I continue to post new content to my Flickr account. Maybe I’ll get beyond basic image editing and move into some more artistic expression. Thanks, Susanne!
On that note, did you get anything interesting for Christmas? Or perhaps you were too busy surviving the Feats of Strength to bother with presents?
Wacom tablets are nice, although I’ve hardly even used mine. Got it in a bundle with some animation software I hardly use too. ๐
I did get a nice little portable TV that will replace my old portable analog TV that can only show snow these days. ๐
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow….. ๐
I can get that from a snow globe, and it doesn’t take batteries. ๐
Well, I got what I asked for this year. The first time in many years that has happened. You can read about it on my blog!
