Techno-Geekdom

I know you're all curious - what did I get for Christmas?  Well, I have some stories to tell. 

Best gifts for me were Mass Effect, which was exactly what I asked for, and several shirts that will hide the fact that I am a techno-geek.  I got two books worth mentioning: The Starcraft Archive and Decipher.  The former is the complete novels covering the story of the game.  The latter is a new novel by an author hailed as the next Michael Crichton.  Well, we'll see about that - big shoes to fill - but that said the novel looks very interesting, to the techno-geek of course.  It is about a power source discovered in the arctic that is more powerful than anything previously discovered by man.  It is thought to be the power source that ran Atlantis, the sunken city of the Ancients.  It throws the countries of the world into intense war over it's control and use, while a small group of scientists work to decipher the inscription / prophecy located there from coming to be, leaving us to follow the Atlantian's fate.  Courtesy of back cover... Doesn't it sound sweet?

I got a few other gifts, none of which were technology related (always disappointing), but thats what you get when you don't ask for any!

Anyone get something sweet for Christmas?  The gaming system of their dreams, or a wicked new gadget?  Let me know about it. Comment me up!
