I (Well, Sara and I) mainly got a bunch of kitchen improvements; new set of knives, blender, recipe books etc. The "coolest" thing I got was a transparent plastic cast of a head, which can be used as a coin bank. It looks really kitschy! I've put it next to the stereo, and use it as a headphone stand.
I got myself a new computer (upgrade), Core 2 Quad, so Renoise went from 77% to 19% CPU load in one of my projects, probably better in some cases. Now I can use my new VSTs without thinking twice.
Only thing now, my 1 year old daughter has to keep sleeping all night long so I can do some work without getting disturbed.

Looking forward to hear some of your new stuff mate, website url?
And kids is also fun to have around when trying to make some music
I don't know what to do with the new tunes just yet, but I'm tempted to release something at RKO. Or if something non-remix material is done I have to get a new homepage etc. I'll see how things work out.
I feel a little rusty I have to admit, but things will fall into place in the end (I hope).
