The whole family enjoyed the Wii, and then we saw the Xbox Kinect device, and I knew instantly they'd solved the major problems with the Wii motion controller in a very elegant way (yes, I'm a tech nerd, this is a perverse source of pleasure for me). So that was going to be the big-ticket present for DD6 this year... but DW vetoed, because she'd been asking for her own laptop for quite a while now, and we just acquired a bedroom set for her that includes its own desk, just waiting for a computer.

As the resident tech nerd, I'm officially going to resent my family when they all have newer/better systems than mine.
