This was my first time doing a gift exchange, and I could not be more glad I participated. I thought I did a good job researching the young man I was Santa for this year, but today I met my match. My Santa (also according to the card a first timer) knew exactly what I wanted this year.

I recieved:

1 Deck of Permaculture Playing Cards. They are beautifully done. Each card has a concept, plant, animal, technique, or person relevant to the Permaculture world. My favorite is this King of Clubs - Fukuoka is a G.

A copy of Capitalism 3.0 by Peter Barnes. I've never reddit, but I have a feeling this is going to be a welcome addition to my brain. I finished Jeremey Rifkin's The Zero Marginal Cost Society this past year, and Santa must have known I've been hungry for more information on this fascinating and imminently important topic.

1 Blueprint style wall poster of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701). It's getting framed. I was James T Kirk this past Halloween - how did Santa know? I guess he really is always watching.

Finally, upon opening the Capitalism 3.0 two very nice stickers fell out. The first is the familiar bust of Fred Nietzsche with "Nietzsche Hates You." written underneath, and is absolute confirmation that Santa knows me well; indeed Nietzsche does indeed hate me, and I still love him lots. The second is the ubuntu logo. I've only ever put Ubuntu on one machine, and I didn't stick with it. I'll take this as a suggestion and challenge.

Thank you so much Santa, and see you next year.
