Christmas 2007 Wishlist

For my family and few friends close enough for gift-level intimacy, here’s my wishlist for Christmas 2007.

Shooting Stuff

Computer Stuff

  • Canned Air
  • 700MB CD-Rs
  • A new mouse for my laptop. It needs to be small and portable. I prefer corded since there are no batteries to replace, and I further prefer the sort that coil up the cord with a spring, like the one I have, only not a fragile piece of shit. Optical only, of course.

Expensive unjustifiable toys

Amazon Stuff

Geeky Kitsch

Misc

  • Helping Hand tool
  • Replacement tips for my ColdHeat Pro soldering iron. I need one conical, one bevel, and one chisel
  • New laces for my boots (seriously, if you can find laces made from a steel braid that would be preferable)
  • CR123 batteries for my SureFire
  • One or more canisters of green gas for my AirSoft Glock pistol
  • Replacement label tape for my label maker (It’s a Brother P-touch which takes “TZ” tapes between 1/4″ and 3/4″; I like the 1/2″ kind)
  • AC adapter for my label maker (DC, 7V, at least 1 amp, center negative)
  • New work surfaces for my office. Currently I use old industrial shelving for my desk surfaces, which isn’t very ergonomic and doesn’t provide me enough space. Ideally I’d have something that offered:
    • Ergonomic work surface for my primary computer (currently a laptop mounted in a laptop stand), secondary monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, light, land line phone, UPS, power strips, subwoofer
    • Secondary work surface for computers I’m working on, and space to put mail and tech boxes before I dispose of them
    • Another secondary work surface for gun cleaning, maintenance and cleaning work on bike parts, and other tool-related work, including room for all my tools, a task light/magnifier
    • Enough tertiary storage space that I don’t clutter up my work surfaces with crap that doesn’t belong there
