...as far as I know I think that HX620W PSU that I've had for about 5 years still should be enough juice...crossing my fingers that I won't need to replace that just yet.

People that hate on 3D so hard crack me up. Not wanting to shell out for a new TV makes sense, but avoiding it when you already bought the television is just being a stubborn jackass (unless your eyes don't work right and it breaks your face--then it's understandable). Is it a gimmick? Sure, but when it works, it is pretty excellent. Just like movies with 5.1--at best it adds texture, at worst it's distracting and generally it's just there. If you have the TV, you might as well get the glasses for gems like Hugo and 3D gaming (which is excellent).

As for stuff bought:

I'm not really a huge, huge fan of art book collections (I tend to prefer a whole project by an artist), but my wife dragged me to a lecture for this and listening to Kathy Ryan talk about the project of putting this together won me over. It's a solid book o' photos and full of some really great pieces.
