This is a evolving list of items. As I update the list I change the shades of red, to reflect how long ago an item was added or last changed. As it gets "closer" to my Birthday or Christmas I am less and less likely to buy stuff from this list. I also change this list more often when it is "closer" to either, so for a current list you will need to check back. After Christmas, or my Birthday, or anytime not "close" to either I do buy stuff from this list. If I get it I try to quickly mark it like this. If it was on the list, but isn't now don't worry too much. I probably still want it, but have decided to list other things on the list instead. Just in case you can check with my wife.
Another place to look is my Amazon Wish List , seriously a good place to look for specific items and ideas.
- Circuit Patterns Trading Cards - from Arachnid Labs sold at adafruit are pretty awesome
- I've played a bunch of Warfame, this one is bit out there in price but still The Art of Warframe Book
- I've been buying most of my music on bandcamp. There is a "wishlist" BUT some of that is just to track artist to look into, and one or two I plan on buying their entire catalog. Will give you an idea of the music I'm looking at buying.
- Checkout Game Empire for ideas and above games - Located: 805 & Clairemont Mesa Blvd.
- Mysterious Galaxy is now in the same shopping center as the international Balboa Maket.
- Connections 3 with James Burke - I take any of these (of course they aren't currently available on Amazon, but that surely will change)
- Knuth's "Art of Computer Programming" volumes 2, or 4. - I have Volume 1 and 3, but any of the other volumes would be great!
- The Compact OED - No need to be new, can be found in used book stores for good prices. I have an unabridged Webster's, pretty much the only "higher" authority on English words is the OED. Since there is no way I have room from 20 volumes (at $1200+ it is a tad expensive), The Compact OED looks much better (two volumes takes a magnifier to read that is usually included)
- Bessey K Body Revos - I need more clamps, and for parallel bar clamps I've decided Bessey's, but Jorgensen's and Jet's run close seconds, other brands are in the running. I expect 24 to 30 inches to be most common, though I've done a few where I needed 50 inches. I have discount through SDFWA at Rockler and other places, Deb has a card to get the discount too so you can talk to her.
- Clamp other than fancy clamps above - Some more f-style clamps or quick clamps would be great, brand doesn't matter for these. Again I can always use more.
- Switch games - Any games I don't have. If you are looking here you know who you can ask.
- Soundtrack to "Donny Darko"
- Checkout MakerShed for ideas - I subscribe to Make, which lead to a lot of cool things. Their store is MakerShed
- Checkout adafruit industries for ideas - Arduino shields (for touch screens, prototyping, gps, sound, LoL Shields, as well as many other great items).
- Checkout SparkFun for ideas- has really nice breakout boards for gps, accelerometers, XBee (though I'd need a second device to talk to), Arduino shields (for motors, bluetooth, etc.).}
- Gift cards - Ideas of what type: Mysterious Galaxy, Borders, Barnes and Noble, or any other local book stores. Rockler, Th&H Hardwood and Hardware, Best Buy, Target, REI, Gamestop, Amazon.com, and such, can be an option. Though I'd hope this list inspires you to find something, besides a gift card.
- Books as always - If you know me you know I love books and can always due with a few more good books (I have stuck a few specific ones in this list). Again my Amazon Wish List is a good place to look.
- Any NIN I don't have, but what's left is obscure hard to find. If you are serious you already know who to talk to. Either CD or digital FLAC versions.
- 3D printer/CNC - Okay not really, but I need some stepper motors to build Combination 3D/CNC design from instructables to make a small 3D printer/CNC. Maybe some electronics or a set of RepRap printed parts for the current model. Still MakerBot 3D Printer is really cool, the current release is the "The Replicator". They are too expensive, but there is the above design I'll probably build.
This is stuff I got, left here, but will be removed later.
- Donations are over for the 2011 ride. Donate to my MS Ride I took in October 2011. They are taking donations until December 2011. Just follow the MS Ride link.
- Hand held vacuum. - You'd think we have with a little one and bunnies, but nope. I'd check Amazon.com reviews before buying one, but that's about it.
- Farscape Season 2 or 3
- Will probably just switch to corded versions of the Bosch tools. I need one or two Bosch 18v BLUECORE batteries for my Bosch 18v BLUECORE cordless tools (this is different than the litheon cordless tools). I do have a discounts through SDFWA for places that might carry the batteries, but you'll have to talk to Deb.
- Thanks everyone, I've wrecked my main bike, though I didn't get a scratch the bike didn't fair so well. The rear wheel and frame are shot. As soon as I can I will get a new frame and get a new rear wheel hand built again (I think the hub is still usable). So any help is welcome, this is one thing on the list I will just order when I can regardless of how close to birthday or Christmas it is
- The Alite Monarch Chair (REI) looks cool and was comfortable when I tried it at REI I like Blue the best, but several of the other colors are nice too. (Also at amazon: Alite Monarch Chair (Amazon)).
- Babylon 5 The Legend of the Rangers to complete my collection of Babylon 5 DVDs (I have everything else)
- Rubber Floor Mats for 2003 WRX Wagon YEAH! Thanks!
- Connections 1 with James Burke that was just great. It was him showing how a given invention came about and how that was not necessarily a straight path. Yes it is cool!
- Farscape Season 4
- Additional GeoMag. NOT SuperMag, but GeoMag. Cool toy from my Dad a few Christmases. I would like some more I think I have enough for now
