Christmas 2011 is Gone Already :(

I got some really cool gifts for Christmas this year!  I got a ShopVac, Level, some Halo and MegaMan action figures, DJ Hero 2 for Xbox, a MegaMan blanket that my wife is making me (I'll post some pics when she finishes it), as well as some other stuff!

One cool gift I got is a U-Socket Outlet that has USB ports to charge your USB devices!
It replaces your normal 110v outlets in your house and allows you to charge two low powered USB devices at full speed (such as cell phones that only require 5v.) or one high powered USB device at full speed (such as an iPad that requires 10v.)  And obviously you can use the normal outlets at the same time as well.  It is energy efficient in that it doesn't provide power to the USB outlets unless there is something plugged in, so it won't run up your power bill.  You can order it from FastMac.com for $24.95 or from ThinkGeek.com for $29.99.

What did you get for Christmas?

Finished Christmas Tree! (Almost)

Here is a picture of the finished tree, except for the star!  And well, some presents :P  It looks better in person by the way :P. I've been meaning to post a picture (since the day after my last post), but I've been sick and busy with work. 
I got sick last Friday and have been fighting it ever since.  The fever is gone, but the congestion, sore throat, weakness and cough decided to stick around a while longer.  Hopefully I'll be better here soon.  I don't like being sick, especially when I have to work.  And on top of that I think my voice is trying to leave me, which is not good since my job requires a good deal of talking sometimes.
Oh well, just gotta roll with it right?   Well I'm gonna try and get some sleep now.  I hope everyone is having a great holiday season so far!  Only a few weeks til Christmas!!!
