It’s that time of the year again! Or wait, it’s only August; but I’ve been notoriously bad at thinking up things that family or friends can get me, and so I’m hard to buy for. To remedy this, I’m going to post my list early.
I’ll add to this occasionally.
- Hyperactivitypography is pure type candy, and I
wantneed it. - Wacom Bamboo Pen+Touch looks to be smaller, sleeker, and better overall than my old Graphire. I want pen and touch, even though the one-or-the-other packages cost less. You can get a Pen+Touch on sale for $80, if you keep your eyes open.
- Doctor Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, which is awesome.
- Hard-Boiled Web Design, by Andy “Malarkey” Clarke, which has a limited run of 2500 prints. This is going to be the best book on this subject all year.
- Mots d’Heures: Gousses, Rames is Mother Goose rhymes transliterated to pseudo-French.
- 8 Faces Issue #2, which should be released close to Christmas.
- 1-watt LED flashlight which is the same width (more or less) down the entirety of the length, is just thick enough to fit its AA batteries, and throws at least 100 lumens. The top must screw off to turn it into a torch, and it must be able to stand up on its base. The flashlight I have now is exactly that, except it’s only 45 lumens, so what I’m saying is I want to upgrade that to the newest tech.
- Thin-as-possible 8GB (or 16GB) flash drive (probably by Transcend, which seems to be the company who does this kind of work). It’ll fit into my netbook’s third USB port.
My dad ALWAYS asks me for a list, and I always struggle coming up with things too! Good idea to start early, and love that it’s a geeky list too
