Philips LED that were on sale at Home Depot.

I'm also considering these for our bedroom but I'm not sure if it's the right choice.

My closest Home Depot went overboard on their LED stock. Last I went a month or two ago, they had crates of Philips bulbs littered throughput the store. Didn't look like they were moving that much product, or they were really good at restocking.

Cheap Ryobi corded drill. Was under 100 bucks. You do get what you pay for... but it's fine for drilling holes and stuff. I like having two drills when I work so I'm not constantly switching bits. One to predrill and one to drive screws.

If we're talking strictly phones and other computer related stuff, Nexus 4 is the last gadget that I bought.

Oh congrats! I adore mine, I smile every time I use it :)

Wait, geekbabe is back?


As for me, Wii U for my son and a nonname 7" tablet for my wife. That is still on the plane though.

The tablet is still on the plane, not my wife :whiste:

Just got my gf a GeForce 650 ti card for her PC, she just uses it for Skyrim a bit, and probably won't care at all... but I didn't like some of the framerate chug I was seeing when I'd watch her play.

Before that, finally got a tablet, a Nexus 7.

And not long before that I got a new Intel 120gb SSD for my C: drive (had an 80gb one before) and a 3tb HDD to go with the 2tb and 1tb ones I already had... and the 3 1tb each externals I have hooked up (for a total of 9tb storage)
