Ideas for Xmas.
polycounter
I know, I know..... Its a bit early for talking about Xmas but I've found a few books I really want. So I'll either be getting them myself as early pressies or I'll be telling my friends and family to ge me them.
This book i'll be buying instantly!
Steampainting Spark.
First in a series of 5 books showing the insanely cool art of Steambot studios and the techniques used to create each piece with mini tutorials, etc. Also, check it out. Steambot has a shop now. Not much in it so far. But that hat looks pretty cool.

Well, effity eff eff. I bought the ipad mainly for that reason and now you're telling me about this monitor? I should keep an eye out for these things.
I'm waiting for Scott Pilgrim on dvd/bluray. It's too wonderfully geeky not to have.

I always wanted a super small and light (not necessarily powerful) notebook with a proper nvidia card and a great screen which I could take to work.
