			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I thought I&#8217;d try something a little different this holiday season and whip up a list of ten gifts that webby people would truly enjoy. And by webby people I mean me, so have at it in the comments if you&#8217;d like to make your own recommendations!</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015T963C?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=blog030b-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B0015T963C">Amazon Kindle</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=blog030b-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B0015T963C" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></strong><br />
I&#8217;m a huge fan of the Kindle. It brings a bookstore to your fingertips, allowing you to browse and download free samples of hundreds of thousands of books. And you can subscribe to blogs and magazines, browse the web (in a clunky fashion, but still pretty cool), and add notes and bookmark all of your stuff. Most of all, it&#8217;s an extraordinary device that lets you access a galactical amount of information and entertainment. And, what&#8217;s more, the <a href="http://onlinemediacultist.com/2008/06/28/college-textbooks-on-kindle-no-brainer-for-brains/">applications are endless</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015T963C?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=blog030b-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B0015T963C"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1027 aligncenter" title="amazon-kindle" src="http://onlinemediacultist.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/amazon-kindle-150x150.jpg" alt="amazon-kindle" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001T0HUDK?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=blog030b-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B001T0HUDK">Xbox 360</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=blog030b-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B001T0HUDK" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></strong><br />
The Xbox 360 is about way more than gaming, though you can of course certainly gorge yourself on any and all manner of gaming goodness (I&#8217;m just getting into <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002BSH82M?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=blog030b-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B002BSH82M">Left 4 Dead 2</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=blog030b-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B002BSH82M" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> myself so that I might blast a few hundred dozen drooling flesh-eating zombie when I&#8217;m of a mood).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001T0HUDK?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=blog030b-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B001T0HUDK"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1016 aligncenter" title="xbox-360" src="http://onlinemediacultist.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/xbox-3601-150x150.jpg" alt="xbox-360" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>What&#8217;s more, the Xbox is making <a href="http://onlinemediacultist.com/2009/11/24/blog-focus-xbox-live-social-media-users-in-the-%e2%80%9cmillions%e2%80%9d-already/">huge strides</a> in becoming a <a href="http://onlinemediacultist.com/2009/11/15/blog-focus-xbox-live-goes-super-social-media/">central nexus</a> of the webby home.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001OD2OAQ?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=blog030b-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B001OD2OAQ">BlackBerry Curve</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=blog030b-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B001OD2OAQ" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></strong><br />
Yes, yes, I understand and am all for the glory and wonder and apps ahoy of the iPhone. But if you&#8217;re a web cultist, in my book nothing beats the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001OD2OAQ?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=blog030b-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B001OD2OAQ">BlackBerry Curve</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=blog030b-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B001OD2OAQ" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> for e-mail and web browsing and texting with a fury.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001OD2OAQ?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=blog030b-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B001OD2OAQ"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1019 aligncenter" title="blackberry-curve" src="http://onlinemediacultist.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/blackberry-curve-281x300.jpg" alt="blackberry-curve" width="169" height="180" /></a></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Ffeature.html%3Fie%3DUTF8%26ref_%3Damb%255Flink%255F86158671%255F2%26docId%3D1000173491&amp;tag=blog030b-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957">Amazon Video On Demand</a><img style="margin: 0px !important; border: 0px none !important initial !important;" src="https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=blog030b-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /><br />
</strong>There&#8217;s something delightful about watching a movie on your computer or laptop screen, and I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;m not the only online media cultist who enjoys having <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26x%3D0%26ref_%3Dnb%255Fss%26y%3D0%26field-keywords%3Dharry%2520potter%26url%3Dsearch-alias%253Ddvd&amp;tag=blog030b-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957">Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince</a><img style="margin: 0px !important; border: 0px none !important initial !important;" src="https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=blog030b-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> or <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001FB55I0?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=blog030b-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B001FB55I0">Terminator Salvation</a><img style="margin: 0px !important; border: 0px none !important initial !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=blog030b-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B001FB55I0" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> or <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002PHI2MY?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=blog030b-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B002PHI2MY">Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian</a><img style="margin: 0px !important; border: 0px none !important initial !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=blog030b-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B002PHI2MY" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> playing on one corner of the screen while a hundred browser tabs are open in another.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001FB55I0?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=blog030b-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B001FB55I0"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border: 0px initial initial;" title="terminator-salvation-poster2" src="http://onlinemediacultist.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/terminator-salvation-poster2-150x150.jpg" alt="terminator-salvation-poster2" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0001FTVEK?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=blog030b-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B0001FTVEK">A great pair of headphones</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=blog030b-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B0001FTVEK" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></strong><br />
If you&#8217;re web working, you need to block out those distractions. Music is often a must, and the right headphones let you block out the screeching traffic and yelping dogs and mental sonic alien manifestations from pan dimensional climes (is that just me?).</p>
<p>My recommendation: the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0001FTVEK?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=blog030b-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B0001FTVEK">Sennheiser RS120 926 MHz Wireless RF Headphones with Charging Cradle</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=blog030b-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B0001FTVEK" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0001FTVEK?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=blog030b-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B0001FTVEK"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1020 aligncenter" title="headphones" src="http://onlinemediacultist.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/headphones-150x150.jpg" alt="headphones" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000WOT6O0?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=blog030b-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B000WOT6O0">Sirius XM Satellite Subscription</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=blog030b-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B000WOT6O0" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></strong><br />
This&#8217;ll take care of the music and audio entertainment part.</p>
<p><strong>Site Meter: premium subscription</strong><br />
Nothing beats Google Analytics for insane depth and detail of website and blog analytics, but nothing beats the joy of good old <a href="http://sitemeter.com/">Site Meter</a> for your webby stats junkies. The premium subscription allows you to track recent visitors, inbound site searches, and more to a much greater extent than the free version.</p>
<p><strong>Netflix</strong><br />
<a href="http://www.netflix.com/">Netflix</a> is a great service that keeps getting better. The streaming service allows you to watch a fairly large selection (though it would be nice if it would grow over time) of movies and TV shows online and via Xbox and other devices.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-1021" title="netflix" src="http://onlinemediacultist.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/netflix-150x150.jpg" alt="netflix" width="150" height="150" /></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0024NU43Y?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=blog030b-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B0024NU43Y">Mountain Dew: And lots of it</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=blog030b-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B0024NU43Y" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></strong><br />
There&#8217;s a reason why tech and web geeks love Mountain Dew: the stuff seriously kicks a huge quantity of adrenalized and over-caffeinated ass. Just the stuff to get you through a late night online gaming, blogging, or production build sesh.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a style="text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0024NU43Y?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=blog030b-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B0024NU43Y"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1023 aligncenter" title="Mountain Dew" src="http://onlinemediacultist.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Mountain-Dew-150x150.jpg" alt="Mountain Dew" width="135" height="135" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Wordpress: An expert to help us figure it out</strong><br />
I just went through a painful site redesign. It began with a seemingly simple operation to get tagging to work again, as the feature had been broken for far too long.</p>
<p>Let me say this: it would not be a bad idea to start a paid service where a wordpress expert is on 24-hour call, available via IM or Skype, or something.</p>
<p>Okay, here&#8217;s a bonus Number 11…</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002DC8GMM?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=blog030b-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B002DC8GMM">Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=blog030b-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B002DC8GMM" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></strong><br />
A great edition to an all time classic game. Rock on, Rockstar Games.</p>
