My ’08 Roll of Honor

Lot of my friends treat their blogs as their own personal memory albums, meant to revisit at later times. I guessed I would write one myself for this year, so that I can reminisce at a later date and year.

So with a hope to make this an annual thing….ta da ta da.. 

Gizmodo ’08

The first thing in this list would be the gadgets I own as of Dec 2008. Of course all are not procured during this year, but given the e-world is taking Moore’s law pretty seriously, I’m sure I would be amused to read about the “top-of-the-line” (read “top-of-line-i-could-afford”)  gizmos I had in 2008, say not in very distant future. 

[Disclaimer for my critical near & dear ones: This is no way a bragging exercise ]
