GET ANYTHING COOL? « Thread Started on Dec 25, 2011, 7:52pm »
Ok, is there anyone that would like to share something AWESOME they got for the holidays?
My wife and I agreed to not exchange gifts, but put that money toward more gifts for the kids.
So I can say this. I got a small package in the mail on Christmas Eve. I looked at it and saw it was from Rome, Italy. I only know one person in Rome...
I opened the small package and got a GREAT surprize. It was a copy of PATH from papermakeit.com. I thought it was a WONDERFUL gift, and was VERY generous of him to send it to the States!
Only one other person I have met here was that generous... and that was Sammo quite a while back when I was at a low place in my life. I am truly blessed to have found the great friends I have here!

My wife and I agreed not to give each other anything, but that left more for family. I hot my grandson a really cool sky shark that has been swimming upstairs and done, room to room.

Cowboy... This is the first Zombie Furries cosplay based on my game. Awesome! I hope you have fun with the game. The Santa set adds some seasonal charm.

Scored a kindle...unfortunately now I'm busy converting the SOBH series/Flying Lead books and some other rules across to the mobi format so they display nice

So they're not so good for PDFs, uh?
Guys, i ate so much that the cork of the last bottle we opened is orbiting around me...
If that is what you are seeing, you may have uncorked one too many too.
Yeah.... each one of my relatives is proud of the wine he bottled, so i always have to taste that red or/and that white wine.... i'm lucky that my wife don't drink alcohol so, even if i'm never been drunk in my whole life, she can always drive if i'm feeling a bit high Tomorrow a friend will bring to me some UK black tea, so i can drink something "healty" (i hate to drink water )

Brother MFC-J430W printer/scanner from my son. He knows how much I like this hobby, so for his price range, it has an excellent scanning and printing resolution and can handle cardstock. separate color cartridges, too. My old Brother printer was a workhorse for almost ten years, but it is a bit soon to see if this will carry on the tradition, but I'm happy so far.

You took the words out of my mouth, Glenn!
I am ANXIOUSLY awaiting my new laptop. I should have it in about 2 months. Which means, GREY MATTER GAMES should be open for business in two months and a day!

whoo more Okum mini's
re kindle It displays them okay but due to A4 page format of most pdf's vs the kindle more A6 size even I have issues reading the tiny print and thats if I push it into landscape mode. If I zoom in anymore then I have scroll up down and left right and the dual column layout s they are in, can mean a lot of scrolling...just painful.
Just finished doing Flying lead rules in mobi format (also did a native A6 size one) I can size the font anyway I want and it always fits neatly to a page (get some odd page breaks occasionally but thats more my chapter formatting).
Overall really like it and when the docs are formatted right they are very easy to reference/read/search on screen.

If the Kindle can handle android apps (I use a Nook Color which can but have zero experience with the Kindle), there are a couple of apps that are infinitely better than the native reader. The only problem is that the pdfs have to be loaded onto the SD card.

Wow. Got a box of Twinnings black tea from an old friend that now live in UK..... until now, i always think at Tea as somewhat good enough to drink without bubbles or alcohol.... man! What a completly new, tasty experience. The subtle flavours of that Tea are sitting in my mouth from about two hours, somewhat i had found only with some very old and costly peaty whisky....wonderful.
