That's how you make your own Blizzard.

Remember: Second Christmas early in the new year!

You following a DIY guide for that build? If so, I'd be interested in reading it.
It shouldn't be too difficult as there are a few off-the-shelf DAC boards for the PI. I'm gonna be using this one - https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/phat-dac
Talking of food related excitement, I've got all the Christmas dinner leftovers in my fridge. My mom's a great cook but the kitchen is beginning to smell very strongly of chestnut stuffing...
And yup, all merry in my neck of the woods. I got a pair of down pillows and some killer threads from my alma matar's gift shop, and I was completely caught off guard by the threads. So that was a nice surprise.

I got Lisa a Harry Potter board game that is just too fun! A couple of her girlfriends came over Christmas day, and we played for like 5 hours straight.

Also: lots of food was eaten.

I had a pretty decent one thanks!

Got this gorgeous Fama recliner chair for the living room from my mom and sister plus various Blu Rays, socks and chocolates. Also got an Amazon voucher which I used to buy a Raspberry Pi Zero kit, which will then be turned into a sick DAC.

Electronic Christmas!
I hope everyone had a most excellent holiday!
