Friday Blog Question - Brag on your neat stuff!

What’s the most entertaining/interesting/fun thing you’ve bought for yourself this year?

My Flip Mino I nearly use it exclusively over cell phone, digital cam, video cam options that I have. I always have it with me and have a great time recording any old damn thing I please. Brian Alig

Flip, hands down. Nick Hammond

The video game Call of Duty 4 - a game so good that when I discovered all my friends were playing it on Xbox 360, and not on the PS3 where I was playing, I went and bought another copy. A game so addicting that when my fourth Xbox 360 died (yes, fourth), I opted to purchase another instead of waiting for Microsoft to get me a replacement. Now I have two Xbox 360s, so that when my new Xbox 360 breaks, I'll still be able to play. Joseph Jaramillo

My Macbook Pro. Endless hours of fun, watching movies, playing Spore or World of Warcraft and umm... doing work! No seriously, i have to say my laptop simply because i use it all the time, everywhere. William Smith

I got a miniature dachshund! His name is Norman Bates – he’s the greatest little dog ever, and useful on so many levels! He entertains the kids, snuggles up and keeps me company, keeps the cats alert and in shape by playing “tag” with them, and his persistent high-pitched bark is enough to annoy any would-be burglar away for good! Vanessa Geary

My Apple TV. Roger Hurni

Tickets to Burning Man. Period. Full stop. Julie Ott

One of these things - http://is.gd/2xaA. Hours of pruning enjoyment. Chris Sietsema

My 2008 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited (The longest name for a car ever). Justin Wilson

Bought this great book, "The Overspent American: Why we want what we don't need" LOL - sorry, I couldn't resist that.

About the Author: Eric Reid

I am the Social Media Services Manager for Off Madison Ave. I've been with the company since 2006, when I was hired to do SEO, and link building in particular. When social networking sites started cropping up, at first I started using them to create backlinks - but they weren't the best for that, given all of the "nofollow" attributes. However, I did see the potential for all of the direct referral traffic they represent. Since then I've been actively pursuing both tactics for clients: Links that can help them for search, and social postings that get them involved in the conversation. It's about the coolest job you could ever get. ;)
