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.

I saw the pics of it... "It took two Rocket scientists to put together."
That WAS cool!

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.

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.

NICE! I like the mugs! That was generous that your son got you a workstation. Support from family memebers is invaluable. ;D

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.

I actually have ADOBE Reader on my Droid. Sure it is small, but VERY nice! (FWIW).
