What I Got for Christmas

Each year I get a Christmas present from myself.  This year I got an IronKey – the world’s most secure flash drive.

Military-grade encryption and you can’t physically break into the thing, and if you try it self-destructs.  Same as if you enter the password wrong 10 times in a row.  I can immerse it in water, and use it to surf the net anonymously.

You can kinda see my present from a couple years ago, that headset. I often get electronics.

 

 

Holiday Parties are the Best Part

Of anything Christmas related the parties are the best part.  I went to a ton this year, but the top two were HoHoTO and The Biz Media one.

At HoHoTO I had such a great time I forgot to take any photos.  This is me before I walked out the door.

This party was great because all the best people come out, like, it’s a quality guest list that somehow the douchebags get weeded out from, and it’s all for charity, specifically The Daily Food Bank.  

For $150 you can feed a whole family for a month.  Pretty good deal, eh.  They need donations all year long, hint.

At The Biz Media event, that was just a classy affair.  Lots of food, drinks, an Emulator: the world’s first multitouch midi controller for DJs and… a Hanukkah bush… when was the last time you saw one of those?

Wonder if anyone actually ate them off the tree.  They were real, it was possible, I might have pawed a bunch.
