I got Sirius satellite radio. I love it.
I knew about it before (helped pick it out). I chose Sirius because of the NFL and the free internet listening included. It's $12.95/mo., but XM is $9.95/mo. and internet listening is like $4.00/mo.
It's great as here in Kansas City there are no good radio stations really.
Also, I got Seinfeld (the deluxe set) and other misc. movies on dvd. I did buy Gozu on dvd yesterday with a gift card. Any Japanese weirdo cinema fans out there?
Out!

Not for the serious traveller...

I scored this bad daddy... I'm standing right next to myself I'm so happy with it. I don't think the security checkpoints at the airports would appreciate it - but I've already found it usefull.

I recieved an ECG Sports Instrument Heart Rate Monitor (with a bike mount) and software to track my heart rate zones on my computer. I plan on using it for the first time tomorrow.
I also recieved a Stowaway Bluetooth Keyboard to replace my IR keyboard which wasn't working so well with my hx4700 (due to the placement of the IR port on the PPC). So I'll be putting my IR keyboard up on eBay shortly.

Cool gifts! I like the sirius radio and the thinkgeek pocket knife.
My big gift from the Mrs. was a Weber gas grill. It is really worlds better than my old one. I hooked it all up yesterday, popped in the gas canister, and fired it up. You can't even see the flames! The grill simply distributes heat evenly over the whole surface area.
My son received a PlayStation 2, which my wife I seems to think I will be getting some use out of... we shall see.
