I got a bunch of cool stuff this year. My favorite is probably the GPS my fiance got me.. I get lost very easily. My expected favorite is the Drobo, my un-expected favorite is my caliper. 2008 was interesting..
- Got a job at a media giant, that is somewhat sinking.
- Got enganged
- Picked up ruby and python (python is winning)
- Built a CCNA lab
- Got into microprocessors
- Started to brew beer
- Got more networking experience than ever before
- xbox with netflix changed my life.
Best Tech Things of the Year / Found Out About this Year (to me.. in all seriousness)
- Adafruit Industries ( actually useful kits)
- Ponoko ( next best thing to owning a laser cutter)
- SlugPower (seriously my favorite hack of the year, it’s not hard to control a relay over serial.. but the integration and thought is awesome)
- Netgate (for the diy router/firewall maker)
- Drobo ( I’m allowed to say that.. I’ve built almost a dozen different NAS’s)
