Benabik's Wish List

But really, this list 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. ~_^ I gave it a once-over in December 2024.

I’ve sorted the list into categories. 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.

Coffee

I've got a decent grinder, but I'd like one more designed for grinding small amounts. Reviews suggest one of these:

My Silvia is getting old, so some parts would be nice:

  • Grouphead Cover: literally broke off my machine
  • Reservoir Filter: Missing on my machine
  • Water Hose: Current one very aged, cracking at end
  • Wiring Kit: I've had to do some work on the inside of my machine and the wires are old and most of the connector covers are cracked or missing.

Gadgets

Really shiny things:

Also interesting, but less shiny:

  • NACS to CCS adapter (preferably the official GM one)
  • Canon Battery LP-E10
  • Pyra Pre-Order
  • RC2014 Zed (or Pro). Something I've been considering building from scratch, but I'm not adverse to a kit because it would remove a lot of hassle.
  • Retroflag GPi CASE and RPi Zero W
  • Yaesu VX-8R
    • GPS attachment
  • Kenwood TM-D710A

Video Games

There's always my Steam wishlist.

Retrode is an interesting device to haul out my old SNES games…

Recurring

Card & Board Games

  • Power Grid (on Amazon List)
  • Settlers of Catan expansions: (also on Amazon list, but wanted to emphasize)
    • 5&6 player expansion
    • Cities & Knights: 5&6 player expansion
  • Lords of Waterdeep
  • Viktory II

House Stuff

  • Home Depot gift card
  • Someone to fix my shed

I've also kept a few Amazon lists for a long time. They're definitely things I've found interesting over the last several years but are very much in no particular order:

  • Main List – Books, Toys, Board Games
  • Academics – Mostly textbooks, kinda expensive but neat
