My friends in tech had a good year, so lots of good stuff. The share of GOOG was a bit much though.

Yeah, a good friend of mine who has been working at Google since before the IPO handed out certificates for 1 share of stock to everybody who went to his Christmas party. I'm predicting attendance will be up +100% next year.

As usual, lots of good alcohol that I may end up regifting, some nice outdoors stuff from REI, some cool and ridiculous stuff for Bobby (a three foot candy cane made of rawhide, booties for hiking on rough terrain) and a really cool pedometer thing called Strive that will probably end up being my next addiction. Of course there were some books and movies too.

- It's good for a photo op, but the diameter is too big for him. - ceregon Dec 26, 18:19 1
  - So funny - his face must be one of disbelief :) -- nm - JenBro Dec 26, 19:04
I was reading friends in tech similar to something like brother-in-law - zork Dec 26, 17:59 1
