Wish List

Ok...while it may seem a bit presumptuous to do this, I decided that it was a lot better than having people ask me what I want for my birthday, Christmas, etc. Often, people want to know what sort of stuff I need or want (and sometimes I forget what it is I need or want); therefore, this list also serves as a reminder to me of what stuff I still need to purchace.

I created a wish list on Amazon.com for some things that can be purchased from that site. You can access this list here.

There are some other ideas that I didn't find at Amazon, so here they are:

• Here's something terribly nerdy, but cool! They're called TetraTops and I'd love to have multiple sets of the starter packs, deluxe packs, and maybe even the executive desk set. They're fun toys, can be used for cool artistic sculptures, and they teach geometry!
• Recently, I've decided that I need to more clothes shopping. Gift certificates to DSW Shoe Warehouse, Old Navy, JC Penny (registry number 00380898), and Steve and Barry's (Go Blue!) are generally safe clothing stores for me.
• Mostly, I like gifts that remind me of my friends, good times, etc. However, I also like my gifts (both those that I give to others and those that I receive) to be functional.
• I'm very particular about software, hardware, and computer accessories that I use, so please be sure to check here for updated information if you're thinking about that kind of stuff.
• My musical tastes are quite varied, but I have a pretty good collection of music already. Some of the selections I have are listed in The Cottage section of this web site. Otherswise, just know this: I can't stand country music.
• Right now, my walls and desktops are a bit full, so I don't have much room for pictures, posters, desktop things that just look pretty or are funny. If I put it on my desk, I want it to do something functional...hopefully, make my desk less cluttered.
• I love getting gift certificates.
  • I like going out to restaurants (I'll try just about anything)
  • Music stores
  • Something like free tickets to a museum (like the DIA) or a performing arts performance (I like classical music, operas, and plays of various sorts).
