My birthday/Christmas list 2010 or An Ode to Materialism
Yup, that's right folks, it's that time of year again. Hard to believe that a whole year has gone by since last time!
I get the feeling that most of you find these posts pretty boring, so to make it more fun for you make sure to include your own lists in the comments!
As usual the holidays are approaching: we have 38 days to my birthday and two months to Christmas, so here's my fall wishlist:
(each section is sorted in the order that I want them)
Clothes:
- Patagonia Reversible Flannel Jacket: Ever since I saw Ben Goodling's lined flannel jacket, I've wanted one! I like the Glentaunomous color. Whatever the heck that means!
- SmartWool long underwear tops and long underwear bottoms: Keri got new long underwear last year and I'm jealous!
- Node T-Shirt: Node is my programming tool of choice lately and I can't get enough of it!
- SmartWool boxer briefs or Ex Officio Boxer briefs: I love these underwears!
- LL Bean Chamois Cloth Shirt: All of my button up shirts are wearing out! I like Dune Brown, Charcoal Gray Heather and Navy!
Electronics:
- New Power cord: My power cord is currently broken and will only work with a lot of finessing, and will still sometimes randomly stop working. A new cord would be awesome.
- iPad: I think interfaces like this are the future of portable electronics, and I'd be excited about having one to experiment with!
- Garmin Forerunner 310XT: A man can always dream, can't he?
- New Wireless Router: My Wife and I have a Linksys router that randomly likes to stop working. And let me tell you, it makes for one grumpy wife! And we don't want that! According to Jeff Atwood this one is highly recommended.
Books and maps:
- Modernist Cuisine: "The art and science of cooking". Sounds fascinating! Cheap, too.
- Camp Dutch Oven Cooking 101
- 101 Things to do with a Dutch Oven
- The Norman MacLean Reader: More writings from one of my favorite authors!
- Continental Divide Trail poster: I like maps!
Exercise:
- A new bicycle
- A gym membership so I can go swimming
- Exercise ball: I hate my current exercise ball, it is lopsided and too big!
- Medicine ball: I have always wanted one of these, plus an book I have has some exercises for it.
- Foot weights, probably 2lbs each: I'm trying to strengthen my hamstrings!

Shouldn't you and sailing master be getting more summer clothes instead of all this warm camping stuff?

I don't know if you know this (as adulthood is relatively new to you), but when Santa's elves get overloaded with too long a list, they just give up and aren't able to assemble much at all. Sometimes they even go on strike. You may want to keep that in mind...

I think it might be too late. CNN has been predicting a strike for months.
