Well, I asked him and he asked for an Arena CD and some earbuds for running, so I got those... He also mentioned wanting to do a puzzle again so I got one of those (2000 pieces, hopefully it will last a while), and an air pop corn maker because he loves popcorn but is getting tired of the microwave popper.
First year it's actually easy. I have no idea what he's getting me, if he's actually getting me anything (although I'm not picky, any geeky thing would do, lol).
