... WISH LIST?

I was just wondering what everyone wants/needs and/or has in your personal Christmas/Chanukah wish lists...

Let me know. I am curious.

Thanks.

Heh, some very bad HTML code is in my wish list. Hacked together in a flash, late, and probably forgot to mail the URI to everyone.....

In no particular order: blue jeans, dark polo shirts, most anything from Thinkgeek.com, Hugh Ross's latest book, and a donation to one of several charitable .orgs ....

Oh, yeah, and one of these:

😃

[goldbug]

Car parts/paraphernalia and media (books, cds). As usual 😃

[_theworks]

a new board would be nice....😃😃😃

[Jason_Batten]

Core Web Application Development with PHP and MySQL - Marc Wandschneider (should get before Xmas)
Information Architecture for the World Wide Web: Designing Large-Scale Web Sites - Louis Rosenfeld, Peter Morville (out-of-stock, have to wait til January)

Books, how much of a nerd I have become *stares blankly

I'll be sure to pick up that new KoRn CD...

But being alive is a gift in its self 🙂 - Do you best to give to others 😉

[thorpe]

two books, php5 Objects, Patterns and Practice, PostgreSql.

i guess im a nerd two then.

[Jason_Batten]

PHP 5 Objects, Patterns, and Practice - I want!
I also want a book on PostgreSQL or MySQL5. Would prefer mysql 5 but I have recently installed PostgreSQL, was an interesting setup.

[ Edit ]
http://www.sideshowtoy.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?category=search&item=71551&type=store it'll go good with my other figures, comic book collection and cards 😃

[bubblenut]

Pragmatic version control using CVS
My boss to say yes to the training I asked for (not sure how likely that is as it's almost £1300 for four days:/)
Some quality time with my my parents and sisters
A big fsck-off goose 😃
Hugs all round
and a few pints with my dad

An end to the war on terror ... and an end to the terror. <OK - serious bit over>

-Highland Park 1958 special edition - only 1500 euros. However, I'm actually a modest guy, so I'd settle for the Caol Ila 18-year old or even one of the last bottles of the dwindling stock of Lagavulin 16-year old.

-The courage to ask my boss for the raise which he knows I'm due.

-Far more time for implementing all my little ideas for websites, all in OO PHP5 of course - oh yeah, and the necessary brain power.

-One of these:

Merry Christmas

I finally found a use for del.icio.us and used it to make a wishlist. You can view it here... or you could if del.icio.us was up and running :bemused:

hehe

although some would be nice i need a new snowboard more 😃

[Merve]

I'd like some CDs. I'm not techie enough to get any tech books...
A Rush of Blood to Head by Coldplay or Red Hot Chili Peppers' most recent greatest hits album or Catch Without Arms by Dredg.

I think we should all buy one lottery ticket each. If we win, we could buy everyone whatever is in their wish list.

I already received my present: A new monitor. Very cool.

However, if Santa Claus were to come back, I would love a new apple laptop of any flavor, and some software upgrades...

For my stocking, I wouldn't mind an SUV.

I am surprised Dalescop hasn't said he wanted his yellow jeep... for Christmas.

Happy Holidays, everyone.

[BuzzLY]

Nice, Piers, but what's a "wislist?"

hehe

I really don't want anything... Just some time off from work, to spend with family.

[edit]oops... I did think of something -- one of those cool lightsabers they have on thinkgeek.com (and incidentally are now carried at Best Buy).

[Rodney_H_]

BuzzLY: I saw them at BB. They are pretty groovy. Did you ever find your cat?? (I read your blog...)

[vaaaska]

I've asked for no presents...except...some paper cups and plastic lids from my fave coffee shops in Seattle. In Brussels, you don't even have suitable cups for roaming with the coffee. Geezus, I should just open my own shop and stop bitching about the state of coffee here (of course, I only drink decaf and mostly only on weekends at that).

I wish well for all...

And that's really about it. My holiday will be spent replacing windows and wiring up electricity. And playing with watercolors.

Cheers!

I need a new LCD screen for my Dell Inspiron 4150 laptop. I slept over my laptop last week and the LCD broke 🙁 Dell has quoted around USD 500 for the new LCD 🙁

My Christmas wish is to see my family.

Everyone is gathering in AZ at my cousin's house. She and her husband (& two kids) just built a house in Surprise, AZ with a pool.

I leave tomorrow morning. Yahoo! (I mean, Google!!)

My sister and her family will be there as well as my cousins, my aunt and uncle, my mom and step-dad.

I hope everyone has a great time and gets exactly what they wish for...

See, it's always good to post your wishlist on your blog. As a result, I got $25 gift certificate for thinkgeek and a comic book. Admittedly I actually posted some items from thinkgeek, but I guess thats where the idea came from and I posted the comic book on the list
