People say I am hard to shop for, for the first time I am gonna give them a hint with a Christmas/Birthday wish list: I have always felt the Christmas/Birthday gifts are best when they are something

• Tiffany's Sterling swiss army knife.

• 7 deadly Sins monks
  ("Seven Cardinal Sins" Plaques)
  Nevermind, already got these for myself, A sin one for each room of the house....
  (but gargoyles are always cool also.)
• a (traditional) Wooden Valet Stand
  I have always wanted a traditional Wooden Valet Stand but none of the local furniture carry these things.
• A TeraStation
  I am tired of every system having to many disks and the backups.
  a Raid 5 Network disk is what i need

• Home video surveillance cams and gear
  WiFi cams or wired cams with capture card perhaps
• A Bushpig would be fun
  these things seem cool ( and more fun then Go-Peds ).
• An Icom PCR-1000 scanner
  This is a computer controled radio scanner, they'er cool.
  I would love to set up a javaradio like site with one of these.
• Cool Tech Toys
  gadgets... Gear... mini cameras, cool stuff.
  nothing that comes off the shelf at Macys or something

**NO Linens**
NO Towels, NO Kitchenware and NO Bathrobes (I have four already). no clothing, no socks (etc..)
that stuff is almost always depressing.
