Anything exciting for Christmas? I got only 1 tech item, a new game I’ve been wanting for my DS Lite, and my dad, and brother played it for quite some time last night.

Other then that I got a bunch of bowling items, including a new ball and shoes. I received tickets to Spamalot when it opens here in Tampa with my brothers as well. I did order an Invisible Shield for my Zune to protect the screen from scratches, and am going to re-new the Zune Marketplace account.

I know a few people got Blackberry Pearls for Christmas, make sure to read my post about using it as a bluetooth modem.

Also, don’t forget to check out iTunes has a 3 for 2 special on select music videos right now, a perfect way to help fill up that new iPod you might of gotten. Some of the sets are even cheaper then regular, I just got 6 music videos for $5.98.

iPod? or Fruitcake? Let the facts speak for themselves.

10 Reasons why iPods beat Fruitcakes as Holiday Gifts

1. You can’t play your music on a fruitcake.
2. Inserting earbuds into your fruitcake? Makes them all sticky and gooey.
3. iPods come in many colors and flavors. Fruitcakes are…brown.
4. You can’t play video games on a fruitcake. (Or a Zune.)
5. Fruitcakes do not support smart playlists.
6. You can’t really accessorize a fruitcake. Belkin doesn’t offer a “fruitcake” section in its online store.
7. You can’t watch the latest episode of Battlestar on a fruitcake.
8. Fruitcakes don’t fit into your pocket.
9. Fruitcakes are unsuitable items to bring along with you to your workouts.
10. iPods? No crumbs.

10 Reasons why Fruitcakes beat iPods as Holiday Gifts

1. iPod price $249. Fruitcake price $21.99.
2. Fruitcakes need no frivolous accessories. They’re usable exactly as produced.
3. You’re less likely to waste your spending money at iTunes with a fruitcake.
4. Walk around wearing an iPod and everyone yawns. Walk around wearing a fruitcake and you’re a trendsetter.
5. iPod: 2.5-inch color display. Fruitcake: 10-inch multifaceted-crystalized-fruit display.
6. You can’t use an iPod as a football. Or a door stop.
7. Fruitcakes have no batteries to replace.
8. iPod: 7,500 songs. Fruitcake: the song in your heart, and the antacids in your medicine cabinet.
9. You can’t call your enemy “nutty as an iPod”. Well, you can. But nobody’s going to understand you.
10. In all likelihood, your fruitcake will still be usable three years from now.

Merry Christmas!

I wanted to say thank you to everyone out there who visits this blog, I really enjoy writing it and look forward to 2007, the year of the handheld gadgets (or so I am told). I wish everyone and their family a Happy Holiday, no matter what you celebrate.

Enjoy today, and have fun fighting the lines tomorrow

This is pretty well put together, the only thing missing is Santa torturing the girl for opening the gift early, but hey it’s a Christmas commercial, so they have to keep it all light and fluffy.

Merry Christmas Eve!
