Christmas Makes Me Berserker With Greed!

Will's response to my McMaster-Carr post brings to light another interesting place to shop. Not that I'm advocating consumerism.
Lehman's is interesting to me because of some of the high-quality tools, such as this Diamant grain mill. The fact they carry European-style scythes, among other items shows a willingness to carry heirloom-quality tools, which I find refreshing.
This brings me to the realization that some of you may be looking for Christmas present ideas this time of year, (Christmas '05 or '06, whatever). And, since I now have a small collection of sites that I enjoy looking through, I bring you:
James' Gift-Idea Generation Tool!*
Simply click randomly on one of the following links to delve into a world packed with a wide assortment of creative and high-quality items which may or may not present terrific gift-giving-ideas to you personally, but which I find compelling.

I used to think Christmas was for kids, but now I realize how cheap and easy it is to please kids (just provide them with grandparents.) Christmas really just gets better with age.
They say the more you want the happier you are. Well I must be one ecstatic dude then. Here are some of the things I couldn't imagine living without in '06:
  • Weather station

  • Mp3 player

  • JBL Creature II powered speakers

  • Tablet PC

  • FM Transmitter

  • Xbox 360

  • Diamant Grain Mill

  • Digital Projector (gaming and movies)

  • Screen for projecting on

  • Every accessory they make for the Canon Digital Rebel

  • More, more, more…

But enough about me, what do YOU want for Christmas?
Let's see if Amazon and their "Madonna CDs" and their "Star Wars" DVDs are right, or are there other things that you yearn for?


*I'm still thrashing around like a hamstrung rhinoceros for gift-ideas, so this is by no means a guarantee of success

If Santa was a kind and just man he would give me back the Fender Stratocaster that I sold some years ago to pay for rent in Oregon...Midnight Wine with Rosewood fretboard Santa...ahhh.

I guess what I really want is to get my first screenplay out of the way. Once it is behind me I think the others will come tumbling out...No Pony for me Santa, just help me get this scripts done and polished and I'll believe again!
