For a few days, I was able to say that I had started Christmas shopping. This thing (that the girl is riding) was an impulse buy when I saw it in a toy-store during a lunch break. It's powered by momentum that is initiated by turning the steering wheel, so you just need to keep turning to keep moving. Easy to use and steer. Very cool.
Except ... we had a few really nice days, so I brought it out for the kids to play with. So now my christmas stock is back down to zero.
BTW - just set up my PVR - using the Diamond XtremeTV USB external tuner. The hardware works well enough, but the really great thing is that it's bundled with SnapStream Beyond TV and Beyond Media software. Pretty much turns my desktop into a Media Center. Now I just need more drive space. 43 more shopping days.

You brought out the Plasma car on impulse??? You're going to make Santa look really cheap...
Well - sort of impulse. I was meeting L for lunch; saw the toy and almost bought it, but thought I should check with her first. Bought it on the way back - so more of an extended impulse.
