I've always been interested in robotics, but I've never actually built one, so an Arduino, servos, and some sensors are at the top of my list. I really want to build an autonomous quadcopter.
Failing that, t-shirts. Cotton whites are fine although I send along a few links to some 'funny' shirts I'd wear for those who want to get me something a little less generic.
Is anyone else just kinda over Christmas by now? I dont see why we have to have a specific date to give someone a gift, or spend time with our family or enjoy a nice meal. Then again, everone calls me scrooge this time of year. PS: I made this site a few years back: http://whychristmasisbullshit.com/
People call you scrooge because you are just like scrooge... seriously, you made a website because you don't like getting off of work, getting gifts, and spending time with family?
I'm trying to convince my girlfriend to purchase http://ardrone.parrot.com/parrot-ar-drone/usa/ for me
I've seen that before, but I found it disappointing that they limit the height to 10 ft above the ground. It also seems like it may have some problems flying in wind judging by their instructions for outdoor flight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7K0O0YJnFo

Of course the radio might be too weak for any sort of serious teleoperation.

Funding for my startup works too.

The prevalence of gift giving using consumer credit is just dumb, moreso when it's crappy gift cards that don't mean anything. Only spending time with family during Christmas doesn't feel genuine, and the arbitrariness of getting time off for the holidays is irksome to anyone who is aware of how fabricated the holiday is. Call me scrooge too if you like, but I agree with most of the stuff listed.
What's wrong with socks? Seriously, socks are a great present - I always need some. Failing that, t-shirts. Cotton whites are fine although I send along a few links to some 'funny' shirts I'd wear for those who want to get me something a little less generic.
most of my family is trying to be more minimal, so we stopped giving each other gifts years ago unless it was something important (baby, etc), or something they needed but was easier for someone else to find. What I'd value personally: high quality outdoor clothing. I'd be happy if it was just a merino wool pair of socks. I'm tired of buying cheap jackets and want to finally invest in a good layering system for winte…
The ones from two years ago are still going strong, despite my walking around a lot in socks, at home.
Edit: Although the particular line I purchased are not the very heavy, thick socks that one may sometimes want for outdoor wear.
