^chewie's Wishlist

I figured it was time I kept track of things I'd like to have so that when people ask me what I want for <INSERT EVENT>, I can simply point them off to this web page.

Aside from the following list, I also bookmark things at http://del.icio.us/notchewie/wishlist

1. Clothing
   • 1 pair of Levis 550, relaxed-fit jeans (34x34)
   • Size 12-13 white athletic socks! Goldtoe or equivalent.
   • Boxer-briefs, Size 34/36.
2. Archery and Bowyer Items
   • The Holy Trinity of Archery Books:
     • Thompson, Maurice. "The Witchery of Archery"
     • Pope, Saxton. Hunting with the Bow & Arrow
     • Hill, Howard. Hunting the Hard Way
     The first two are out of print. Go to the link to learn more about them. I found Pope's book on-line at http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/8084, but a printed version would be uber-cool.
3. Books: Amazon Wish List
4. Board or Card Games
   • Settlers of Catan (Order Online)
   • Munchkin! (Info)
5. Computer & Electronic Stuff
   • USB Page Scanner (Don't spend over $50). Those compatible with Linux are listed at http://www.buzzard.org.uk/jonathan/scanners-usb.html
   • Wacom Tablet: I fancy myself a horrible artist; help me improve that!
   • GP2X Linux console, a portable game-boy-like system. Runs Linux! Plays Music! @Whee!
   • A new DVD+/-RW drive (SATA). Pricewatch.com
   • Three 250+ Gig SATA RAID hard drives
   • A portable digital music player that reads OGG format files! Not all players do this, most read MP3's, ASF, or Microsoft's media player format. I don't have any of these on my computer, a Linux machine. Ogg is it for me. Some players that fall under this category:
     • This one's sweet! Plays MP3's and OGG, and has an FM tuner/recorder! This would be awesome for running! http://www.iops.co.kr/enghome/index.html
     • http://www.neurosaudio.com/ Very cool hard drive based player. Not as portable as I would like.
     • A good list for more information on Ogg players: http://wiki.xiph.org/index.php/PortablePlayers
