Since we're talking about Christmas wishlists today, what sort of digital media or technology-related items are on your wish list? Or have you already bought them recently? My wife tells me I'm very hard to buy for, because most of the things I want I buy myself or they're far too expensive for anyone else to buy them for me. We had some tax savings from last year, so in the past 90 days I've bought more tech gear than I have in the past year. Because of that, I already feel like I have everything I want for Christmas. What about you? What's on your list?

To tell you the truth, I asked my parents for a suitcase, and I asked my girlfriend for the Seinfeld DVD set.

I'm like Jason.. I buy things for myself. In October, I bought a TV tuner and BeyondTV, and in July, I upgraded my cell phone. I've been mainly buying new software left and right, like the expensive Macromedia Studio MX package (academic price, of course). There used to be a day when I had to buy the latest and greatest, but I think I'm too poor to do that anymore. :?

In the last 90 days..

HD DVR
HDTV PLASMA (46" I BELIEVE..)
NEW COMPUTER
NEW XBOX (FOR HALO2.. You wouldn't believe it in HD!)
NEW LCD MONITOR (22")
NEW IPOD
NEW LEATHER SOFA SET (WIFE MADE ME...)

I was thinking about buying (more like leasing) a new car, but I decided I would drive the one I have for another year or two.. I am all about cocooning right now.. doesn't really matter how I get there

Giftcards! ;-)

or Books.

Most the things I want, I buy; can't wait. :-)

There are two things on my list:

Canon i9900 printer
&
Epson P-2000 photo storage and viewing thingy.

The Epson will have to wait but the printer is looking good. My wife and I have a part time business doing beauty and photography for weddings and we are going to set up an instant portrait studio as our booth at a bridal show in a few weeks. We don't have much of a portfolio yet, so we are going to produce samples right there.

I've also bought two DM gifts. My eldest daughter just had a new baby (Grandchild #1 for me ) so I've got her a Canon A95 to make sure she sends us lots of pictures and I have an iPod Mini (pink of course) for my little daughter.

A Gitzo G2228 tripod with the Really Right Stuff BH-55 ballhead. Of course, I ordered it for myself 6 weeks ago and it shipped yesterday. According to UPS it's left Oregon already and arrival is tomorrow.

Buying your own Christmas presents is priceless

I tend to be very particular about my technology purchases - enough so, that my wife has given up on buying any techy gifts for me unless I give her the exact model/brand/etc - she claims that spoils the surprise!

Since I am planning on bulding a new PC in the new year (waiting for Athlon 64 mobos w/nForce4 & PCI express), I am currently in a bit of a "wait" mode, so my gift list mainly consists of things like books, wool socks (hiking, etc - I love warm feet! 8) ), and DVD's - Spiderman2, The Bourne Supremacy, iRobot, etc.

Like many others, I tend to buy my tech stuff when I want it/am ready for it/have made up my mind.........

Heh, at academic price it's not expensive at all! =P
