I got a personal breathalyzer. It's basically a key fob that houses the breathalyzer unit - that communicates with your smart phone for processing. Seems like it's reasonably accurate - when evaluated against "know quantity/known weight/known time" calculations.

 

Not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing .... if watching the numbers translates to less drinking, I suppose it's a good thing. However, there is always the chance that seeing a number will turn it into a competition! .019 isn't a status ... it's a challenge!

I got some cool shoes and the Tears for Fears 30th anniversary box set of Songs From The Big Chair.

 

30 YEARS?!?!? :o

 

This is one of my favorite CD's. Will put the 30th Anniversary edition on my wish list.

My wife got me a Fitbit, so now I can really learn what a lardass I am! Though I was surprised at how many steps I take even on a lazy day. It syncs to my phone and the app I use for tracking calories syncs up with it too.

Toys: Korg Kronos 2 88, Roland Fantom 08, Nord Lead A1,Roland FA08, Novation Ultranova, Moog LP

A fantastic beginner telescope (6" Dobsonian) and a 12-year single malt. My wife rules.

 

She knows the best music-related gift she can give me is time to play, and I'm getting some of that, too.

I make software noises.

A couple of awesome Pendleton wool shirts, and the Komplete 10 Ultimate upgrade. Plus, permission to buy an iPad.

 

I also still have $50 in UAD plugin vouchers that need to be used by the end of the year, will probably get the Neve 1073 upgrade.

 

We had a sudden and tragic death in the family the Saturday before Christmas, which put a shadow over the holiday, but it definitely reminded me to stay in touch with the people you care for and treasure the time you get to spend with them.

Looking at the previews for Dragon Age. Looks very cool. Which brings to mind a question. Does the PS4 play PS3 games? I know the Xbox One does not play the Xbox 360 games. I've got a PS3 and an Xbox 360 but was curious. Far Cry 4 looks good too!

Actually got it back in early Sept. It's Titanium and a custom fit & build. It took 11 months to complete from ordering/fitting (Oct. of '13) to pickup. But it's for my 60th birthday plus this Christmas, and the next, and the next . :cool:

Unfortunetly it does not Midi. I have PS3 as well. I may start looking into 4 next year when *drum roll*..... No Man's Sky come out. Plus all the network bugs are worked out by then. Pm your user name on the PS network and maybe we can game sometime. :) D.A.3 have co-op online missions ect. ;) When I'm not gigging and writing music, Im in the 'Zen' of gaming. Love racing games too. ;)

I got to have both my boys in Albuquerque for Christmas. My oldest and his girl and their dog came down from Boulder, CO. (This was his second visit; he/girl came the day we landed to help us unpack and get settled.) My youngest flew down from Chicago. Really was the best thing ever!

I got a Hohner Melodica and an Otamatone from my fiancee.

 

My parents gave me a Moog gig bag for my Sub 37 and a MoogFooger ring modulator.

 

My Sub 37 sounds NASTY when played through that thing.

I won a maxed out Toshiba topline laptop and a Epson printer at my company Xmas party!

 

I work for Voxx now, I'm a systems guy during the day. Voxx owns Klipsch! Didn't win any of their Klipsch systems though but I'm not complaining! :roll:

My wife renewed my Keyboard subscription.

 

Well my wife had a problem with the payment going through to Keyboard Mag on her tablet and accidently subscribed twice. Poor thing.

 

Customer Service fixed it today.
