Had 2 Fuzes go dead (battery) around a year and a half. Shame, cuz I liked them a lot. The new Fuze+ is crap (feels cheap, nav is a pain, sound isn't as good). Just wish the Fuze (v1/v2) had a battery that was easier to replace (I have a short "fuze" myself, and they ended up as tiny shards of plastic when I was finished). Never had a chance to try Rockbox, but may still pick up a refurb off woot if I can.

I had a very Wii Christmas...
- Nyko Perfect Shot
- House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return
- Rayman Raving Rabids
- Call of Duty: Black Ops
- Super Mario All Stars 25th Anniversary
The Perfect Shot is very cool and House of the Dead is loads of fun. I've only spent a few minutes with Black Ops so far and got my ass handed to me, an FPS on a console is definitely going to take some getting used to.

A Blaze Mega Drive, which contains 15 built-in games, and outputs *gasp* AV instead of an ancient RF modulator. The console itself is about half the size of a Mega Drive II.
A 1988 Toyota Camry CS-X (SV21, 4cyl, 5sp manual), looking something like this (no photos of mine yet as it's being serviced over the Xmas/NY hols):
And... a $20 'free play' voucher from Crown Casino, zomfg! The catch being, you must win off the gaming machines to actually win any money, it isn't just $20 in hand or even cashable for that matter (aside from the actual machine wins, which is paid entirely in cash tickets as well!) - the machine just reimburses X amount of credits bet per game until the $20 runs out. Yeah, it ends up costing $10 to get from suburbia to Melbourne city (Flinders Street) by train, then you are lucky to win $3 from the free credits!

The usual clothes, gift cards, money.
I got the wife one of those Cisco Flip cameras. They're pretty slick and films in HD. Easy to use and manage videos.
Then I got the family a telescope. Living in the foothills gives me a great view of the night sky with little light pollution.
My work gave me a Droid phone, and it's quite a change from my old Blackberry. At first I wasn't sold on these smart phones, but damn it's pretty cool.

I bought myself a GP2X Wiz for Christmas since the wife would have no clue what it was or where to buy it.
And being marked down to $99.00 at ThinkGeek wasn't bad either!

20 Questions: Guess what I got for Christmas.

Ever think to yourself that some information is best kept to yourself... this is one of those moments. Yes... I'm dying to tell you... but my better judgement tells me not to. If you were to guess it in 20 questions, I would admit it. Answers will be "yes, no, irrelevant, I don't know, I can't answer." To begin... it's not animal, vegetable, or mineral.
From my kids I got a Bob Marley T-shirt, a science fiction book, a mini-screwdriver set and a space-pen. 
Nothing arcade-related this year...

Don't you hate it though when you buy a dead one thinking it suicided and then it's broken for other reasons... Gawd. I got one a little while ago, both boards have issues not related to the battery.

From the family, I got a nice selection of Ales, some nice thick socks and gloves, some naked lady swizzle sticks, and a really cool giant lego dude keychain with LED flashlight elements in his feet.
For myself from myself, I got a Les Paul Custom copy and a Digitech RP355 amp/effects modeler

Did you try and get the Star Wars cookie cutters Williams-Sonoma was selling? I did a double take when I saw them in the King of Prussia mall store.

Notables, from a Christmas where I failed to put together a list of suggestions:
- LG BD-530 Blu-Ray Player
- Boba Fett Bobblehead
- newest John Hodgman book ("More Information Than You Require")
- "Christmas with the Chipmunks" CD (gag gift)
- Wi-Fi Detector shirt from ThinkGeek
- "Forbidden Lego" book, also from ThinkGeek
To myself, from myself: HTC Evo 4G. My personal cellphone finally enters the 21st century.

Yes... in theory it could blend, but it's never been done that I know of.

Bonus answer: It's pretty fly for a white guy.

No, Lucas "accidentally" ate the originals. He was sampling the batter and assumed the crunchiness came from the walnuts in the dough.
