Benabik's Wish List

Holiday updated for: post-Christmas 2011
Last updated: Thursday, September 03, 2009 (This appears to be wrong…)

Wow, this list is getting long. But really, this is just a dump of “Hey this stuff is cool!” Anytime I run across something interesting, I’m putting it here. Look at the upside: It gives you lots of choices if you want to give me a gift. ~_^

My Amazon.com Wish List I’ve moved a lot of the items here into an Amazon Wish list. Mostly the books and DVDs, but a few other things too (like Catan). I’m trying not to have duplicates, so check there too.

It appears that ThinkGeek has wish lists too. Awesome. They have a variety of stuff that Amazon would never carry.

I’ve sorted the list into categories. If there are just dots next to each item, then it’s not in any real order. If it’s numbered, then that list is sorted in how much I want it (relative to the other stuff on that list). Anything with a strikethrough (like this) I already have or someone is getting me. Anything in bold is something that stands out from the rest of that section as a distinct “I want THAT!”

Do read the entire list. Just because it’s near the bottom of the page doesn’t mean I want it any less.

Gadgets

  • Apple TV
  • Mac Mini – I’d really like a central home server, and after much fumbling, I think this is the best option.
  • HD Radio
  • Expresso Machine
  • Yaesu VX-8R

    • GPS attachment


  • Kenwood TM-D710A

  • TonidoPlug

Video Games

There are a wide variety of video games on my Amazon list, and a bit more on my Steam wishlist

Here’s a list of new/most interesting games:

  • Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (PS3)
  • Xbox 360

iTunes

So iTunes has a “Wish List”, but it appears to act far more like a shopping cart than a wish list. The easiest way to help me buy the $100+ of media I’ve found on iTunes is to buy me an iTunes gift card. But if you want to know what I’m looking for on iTunes (and so I can find it later), here’s a list:
