I haven't really added any new technologies this year, but a few things new to me:

1. Clipless pedals on my bikes. Speedplay Zeros on the road bike and Crankbros Candy on the MTB. A bit expensive, but definately worth it.

2. The public library and books. I have lived my life on a computer and the internet and always thought of books as archaic. I have had a computer most of my life and broadband for the last 7 years or so. This year I rediscovered the library and real books. Reading is a lot of fun and best of all the library is free. Free music from the library is nice too.

Top three 2005 Tech Aquisitions for me:

1. XBox 360
2. Most recent computer I've built.
3. XBox 360

[jefemeister]

1. laptop / wireless internet
2. Squeezebox II
3. Micro Stack
4. Eastsound CD-e5

but all this is easily trounced by my low-tech Baume & Mercier Capeland.

 

[pspivak]

1. The PSP (no doubt)
2. The Pentium D chip
3. Samsung's DLP TV.

Heck, I've had DSL for so long that when I got it you could only have a static IP.

PSP over DLP?

 

[Squeek]

1) PVR
2) Xbox 360
3) Eastsound CD E5

PVR has made television much more enjoyable. I would not even consider not owning one now.

The Xbox is sweet. It's nice to have some vids back in my living room! The fact that it supports HD is just gravy.

The E5 is the single best upgrade I could have made to my system for the money I was willing to pay. I'm thrilled with the result.

 

[AuroraProject]

1. Xbox 360
2. Dell 2405FPW monitor
3. SLI gaming rig

Edit: I forgot to add my 50" HDTV

 

[mulveling]

1. L3000
2. Singlepower SDS
3. Eh, not totally sure what to put here, probably the Meridian G08, though perhaps the W2002/HA2002

I got my HDTV (Sony KD-34XS955) in November 2004 - if not for that 1 month, it would have been a tough choice between that and the L3000 for top spot.

Extended battery life.

(1) Beyer DT880
(2) Sony D-33 PCDP
(3) Cardas Mini-Mini cable

Needless to say, I haven't bought much stuff this year.

I guess so, considering you already voiced your utter hatred for the Cardas mini-mini

Naah, said I was disappointed, that's all. Actually I'm no longer disappointed, it's a pretty good cable.
