interesting collection of servers and switches you have there...

...if you're talking about the bike pic, those don't belong to me, they're my uncle's; the pic was taken at his office, cause the shop was near his house in vermont, so he did me a favor and bought it before I could get up there becuase it was on a really great deal and he knew the bike wasn't going to last through the month of december.
 
Got a Garmin Edge 500, a calorie and nutrition counting food scale, Skins compression socks and two DVDs :popcorn:: "Chasing Legends" (which I can't recommend strongly enough!) and "Bicycle Dreams" (which I haven't watched yet - its about the RAAM.) Time to think about the 2011 season!

Chasing Legends was excellent, although I think I like Off Road to Athens a bit more still.
 
1. Smartwool socks
2. WTB Laser V Ti sadle
3. RaceFace Dues seatpost
4. Giro Xen helmet
5. Steve Peat Lockon grips

6. Bought myself a new FOX fork 😀

As much as I complain about the lack of riding time she gives me, my wife still rocks.🙂
 
I got new MTB Louis Garneau Terra Grip Shoes. I'm told a new pair is always good, and smelly feet is always bad.
A Louis Garneau Matrix Balaclava to keep the ears warm.
New Shimano pedals, and new park tool stuff.
And, a gift card to the bike shop from the in-laws.
Before xmas they said, I was like a kid in the candy store wanting more stuff.

Oh, and, one more thing (non-bike related)...NY JETS stuff. It's GO TIME this weekend!

And, one more thing, I won a $50 gift certificate to trek.store.com from Trek, because I wrote a review on a product. I was picked out of 5,000 entries. So, I bought a Bontrager Jersey. Now, I am going to play the lottery. If I win the big one, it will be a merry and happy everything to me.

And, fyi, this xmas my wife and I said we would pick small things for each other. So, I got her the Hulu Plus with the Roku. She LOVES it!! So fyi to all the guys for next year. It is way better than DVR or Tivo.

with all of the accoutrements; very nice!

I found the bar mount best as the helmet mount causes the helmet to shift a bit.

I didn't get a bar mount... Ben told me the secret is to put double sided tape underneath the helmet mount... worked like a charm and eliminated that minimal play in the mount... I'm also playing with the flush mount on the helmet which I like better (but it's not removable)... or the 'profile' mounts that are lower profile flush mounts but the angle becomes a problem because of the direction of the helmet vents... either way I can't wait to play with it this weekend...

Damn, I should've talked to Ben!

I did see a pro CX racer with a bar mount, and that was actually really entertaining b/c you had a view on when he shifted and hit the brakes (i.e. less than I would've in some corners!). Enjoy, it's a fun toy.
