Friends, family, clients and even the barrista at Starbucks have started to ask me things like, "have you started to get ready for Christmas?". I supose it's a function of the cold air and early brick-and-mortar merchandising, but this doesn't make me feel any better about the Holiday Season approaching so quickly. Eventually, the "have you started to get ready" questions will turn into "what's on your Christmas list" and I know from experience that I had best have an answer.
Here are a few things that look Christmas List worthy:
A bright light (good for product photos) that wraps around or sticks with magnets to irregularly shaped objects.
I need to improve my NAS (network attached storage) infrastructure. This dock looks pretty solid. As with any of these devices, the proof is in the pudding, so I'll likley buy this myself before Christmas in case I need to return it.
I currently use a Harmony 880 remote to control my Home Theater seutp that is hidden under my stairs. The Harmony 900 is an upgrade. It has soft buttons and a better screen. The only reason that I'm thinking about upgrading is because I could likely sell my 880 for over half of what the upgrade currently sells for.
My well loved noise cancleing Sony headphones are starting to show their age. The sound reproduction is lacking and while they're great on a plane, they're not comfortable for extended home use. These new Grado headphones are well reviewed and resonably priced.
I'm looking forward to the day when my Son is old enough to be blamed for my child like desire for toys. This Air Hogs Helicopter set looks wicked awesome. They fly, they fight, what isn't to love about these. So, until he grows up (or can at the very least talk), I'll need to confess that I'd love to find these under the tree to play with.
