Time sure does fly when you’re having fun and we are getting down to the end of the year. But before 2009 is slowly fades away, the PixelatedGeek staff would like to share what we are most thankful for.  We would also like to ask you to share what you are most thankful for this year. Let us know in the comments below.

Aaron:

I’m thankful for my Dell XPS Laptop.  Since my Xbox 360 got the ring of death.  My PS3 was smashed during the move from Texas to South Carolina I have no consoles and my laptop has been my savor.  I can play any video game on this laptop and I am enjoy MW2.  After that I am thankful for my Time Warner Cable HD/DVR as I can fast forward my shows and record my favorite shows.

More thankful PixelatedStaffers past the break.





Jessica:

I am thankful for my MacBook Pro. This laptop basically encompasses my entire life. It holds memories, projects, my thoughts, my inspirations, my work in progresses, and frustrations. I wouldn’t of graduated college and video chat with my dear boyfriend. Without my MacBook Pro, I would be lost.




Sam:

I’m thankful for dropbox because it lets me carry my work, images, templates and articles between computers without having to think about it. In addition I know that it’s all backed up to four places synced between three different computer and the cloud, all for the fantastic price of free. What more could you be thankful for than something that just works and so very well?







Matthew:

I’m thankful for the Amazon Kindle, its ease of use in downloading and presenting the written word has revolutionized reading. I used to have to pack my books, and newspapers into a huge backpack while traveling and now I can easily store the same huge amount of books in a single book-sized reader. There are many who try but the Amazon Kindle reigns supreme in the E-Reader world.







James T.:

I’m thankful for my iPod. It’s not one of the newest or snazziest designs, but I’ve got eclectic musical tastes and having to obtain and carry around all the CDs for the various songs I like would have been an obnoxious nightmare. With my iPod I can carry nearly my entire musical collection around and listen to it while I’m driving or working without the hassle of fumbling through CDs or searching for the one good song on the radio.

Thanks, iPod development team. Simple idea, great in execution.




Nelson:

I’m thankful for the iPhone. Since it’s birth I am able to bring the internet around everywhere I go.  I can do so many things with it that I couldn’t before.  I wish I had this gadget sooner. Especially when I was a kid and had to endure those long boring trips up to Fresno (the armpit of California) for Thanksgiving. Before the iPhone I had a Sony P900.  It was a touch screen phone that you could buy apps for and at the time, it was the closest thing to having the whole internet in your pocket. It was close, but still didn’t feel like the real internet like the iPhone has done. So, thank you Mr. Jobs and Team Apple. Thank you for making the internet (and porn) more accessible from anywhere I go.



Andrew:

Black Friday Deals!!!

I’m thankful for no one gadget specifically, but for the endless and rapid progressing of gadgets that allow me to dream of things to come. Innovation is spurred by commerce, so if no one takes interest in all the new toys flooding our way, no one will feel the need to innovate any further. Bring it on technology, I’m waiting.
