Christmas

Yesterday we had christmas at my parents house.  Although we had all already given most of our christmas gifts, it was really nice for Amy and I to have some time with everyone up here and exchange gifts again.  I think everyone was very happy with the gifts (I know I was). Afterwards we spent the afternoon/evening playing games.

I think one of my favorite parts was playing a card game my brother got us for christmas called Fluxx.  Basically, the whole idea of the game is that you have to lay the right cards to accomplish a simple goal... the fun comes with the rules... that are always changing (along with the goal that changes too!)  I'd never heard of it until yesterday, but it is an awesome game!

The other gift that I'm really excited about is a new camera lens (the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II).  It is a really simple lens which is good because it forces me to work a little more to get the shot i want. It's also creates much sharper images than the other lens I have, which I'm really excited about!

All in all, I had a great time and am looking forward to traveling up to Michigan later today for Amy's family's Christmas celebration.

End of the decade...

I ran across a great story today about dumb moments in technology from 2000-2009.  It's a great read and brings back some great memories of ideas I've had the pleasure to laugh at over the last 10 years.  I hope others enjoy it as much as I have!
