I'm not really one for celebrating christmas, despite the background to this site... really I'm just waiting to replace the background graphic. Anyway, people tend to ask what would make me happy, and since emotionally fufilling things aren't really my thing either i've prepared the current "oooh i wish i had one of those" list.

Roomba- the robotic vacuum
Roku XD
An electronic Piano with Midi out

The higher end items:
Adobe Audition 3.0
Sony Acid Pro 7.0
A computer cabinet/desk
Amazon Kindle

I'll slowly fufill my own list. So cards, books, and the like are always welcome. If you have something you'd like just add it as a comment and i'll see what i can do.

As far as books well here is the list of what i'm planning on buying over hte next 3 or so years:
