I’ve been asked by a couple of people what I want for christmas. This list isn’t serious, because some of the items on it cost as much as a used car, but here’s my current wishlist:<\/p>\n
(Side note: I am just fine with used gifts \/ re-gifts of things I actually want-need. I have no need for new merchandise and I would rather my friends not spend the money.)<\/p>\n
(Side note #2: Please don’t feel that you need to send me anything. Most especially, don’t send me “filler” gifts i.e. gifts that you would buy at a drugstore because you hadn’t gotten me anything and felt like you needed to – seriously, I have enough of a problem with hoarding without help \ud83d\ude09 If you can’t think of something that specifically fits me, your best gift is to not send me something. I hope this doesn’t sound harsh or mean. )<\/p>\n
(Side note #3: In the vein of #2, if you’re trying to think of a gift that won’t add to my hoarde and have to be at some point gotten rid of, think of things like software or movies \/ media, which are always small and eminently regiftable if I already have a copy, or things like experiences.. a trip somewhere with you or a jam session with you.. which take no physical space and add to my treasure trove of memories)<\/p>\n
*) A 12″, 300W RMS or more subwoofer module with a line in for my office
\n*) Amiga Forever
\n*) Blu-rays of the following movies:
\n Who framed roger rabbit
\n The matrix
\n Hackers
\n Pink Floyd’s Delicate Sound or Pulse tour
\n Any minds-eye-esque eye candy \ud83d\ude09
\n*) Kindle books.. anything you think I’d like to read. (Don’t bother sending Heinlien, Asimov, Prachett, or MacDonald though, or any of the Callahan’s series by Spider.. I already have them)
\n*) A copy of the basic ($1000) version of Vienna VST strings
\n*) A 61-key varient of the Access Virus
\n*) A basic six-string accoustic guitar (used is preferable but it must still be possible to tune it ;-))
\n*) Donations to any charity feeding the homeless or taking care of our four-footed friends which does not spend all the money on mailing repeated requests for more money. [Lately I feel like when I donate to a charity I’m wasting my money because they use my entire donation to spam me repeatedly asking for more money]
\n*) A Alesis AI-4
\n*) A small 4-track USB (OSX compatible) audio interface with two XLRs with phantom power and two 1\/4″ inputs
\n*) A gig bag or light case for a low-profile 88-key keyboard
\n*) Double-layer jeans (now, if only I knew what size I was .. ;-))
\n*) For musicians: The best gift you can give me is a jam session. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
