#10 -I start off at the top of my list with two things that I could not define which one beloned on her, so I put them both... They probably been higher in my list if only had time to use them....
My Playstation 3... I am addicted to Litle Big Planet
And my Nintendo Wii... I love Super Mario Galaxy
#9 -iBotX29 (Previously iBot1.0) - Yes I am such a geek... I carry this and my two other bots and use them all (see below)... I use it to work on music and game... Also as a light MP3 player.... It is much better at holding a charge than the the iPhone, so I do more graphic intensive apps on here, and it frees up my iPhone....
#8 - My Journal & Pencils which allows to me to create in a whole another deminsion.... It contains, drawings, photos, writings, poetry, lyrics, personal thoughts, in coded secret text, and just randomness... This book contains a large part of the real me ad who I am and what I am about... This book is a very big creative outlet for me... And I have started doing a second journal titled "The Journey of the Elastic Souls" which I will release as a free on-line book once it is complete... It will be a motivational, self help, get you to think type of book.... So stay tuned...
#7 - Peavey Black Mystic Guitar - I purchased this guitar in the early 80's. It is my first and favorite. I love the way it feels, and the way it plays... The guitar strap "Rick X" was mad by a good friend of mine Julie (FB Friend). Julie made this back in the late 80's for me... I was using the "X" since the early 1980's with name.... Both the guitar and strap are very special to me....
#6 -Roland Juno 106 - I originally purchased this keyboard in 1985. Duran Duran and several other bands were using it... And I feel absolutely in love with the analog sounds, especially the string sounds. I am sorry, but there is nothing that can get the rich string sounds that this can... And being my first, I am still in love with it after all theses years....
#5 -PodBot - This is my 80GB iPod... It sounds like a lot, but it is not big enough to contain my entire music collect... But it allows me to take more than enough music with me to keep me very happy... This was my first Apple product, and I really love it.... Even with my other bots PodBot travels with me....
#4 - Novation Xstation-25. I love this b/c it is small enough and light enough to slip into a laptop bag w/a laptop already in it. It is a great midi controller for working with software based studio but it is also a pretty decent synth... Some nice sounds in the soundbank. It allow you to connect and control 2 other midi devices and 2 lines in, example guitar and mic. It connect to the PC by USB...
#3 - Canon-Powershot-a1000-IS - I love this camera b/c not only does it take great pictures, it fits easily in my pocket, so I can take it just about everywhere... And easy to con seal to sneak it into concerts that do not allow cameras....
MacBot - Macbook - This is fantastic, and I am running Parallel's 5 w/Windows 7 32-bit and it works great.... really fast.... I pretty much have my life on here and it syncs to my Bots.... And I have a 1TB external drive as a Time Machine, 1.5TB External drive, and a 250GB external drive.... So I am pretty much set.... ;))
And the #1 - Hands down the best toy of the year, and may I add this won by a huge margin...!!!
iBOT2.0 - iPhone 3GS 16GB - This has improved the productivity and quality of my life overall... And it bring some happiness and organization to my life... So it is really much more then a toy...!!! It also aids in my creativity b/c I can do photos, video, editing, art, and music studio all on this small but mighty computer... I really love iBot2.0....!!! ;)) Thanks Apple for such an amazing product, and thanks app developers for all the great apps...!!!
Please feel free to leave comments, let me know what are some of your favorite toys of 2009....

I so wish I could afford all of this stuff and more, so I am a little envious :p I love my iPod, would love to have an iPhone, but At&t has sucky service where I live and I love my Cannon camera also!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I am following you now, looks like I'm the first! :)
I'm next behind Amy in the following line :). Love all these toys above, Playstation 2 is about as close as I get to having any of them! OK except for the camera, though I need one I can be sneaky with, like yours!
