Kacper’s Wishlist
September 24, 2007
Always having trouble picking presents for my friends
and family, I wish everyone did this- it’s a win-win
situation: The receiver gets something they wish for
and/or will find useful, and the giver knows what they’re
getting is going to be well received. Since few people
I know are doing this, and those that do usually
post their lists on hard-to-access places like their
fridges, I’m going to try being somewhat of a trend
setter.
Without further ado, here are my materialistic wants in
no particular order:
- a violin
- a proper digital camera with interchangable
lenses
- a bottle of single malt
- things I’ve lost, like:
- my brother’s blue guru hat
- some nice, polarized sunglasses. I like red.
- my parisian windbreaker
- Games
I never have time to play anymore, and I don’t
usually buy games, but there are some that are
worth the money:
- battlefield vietnam
- X^2 - The Threat
- Books and comics
if you give me a book, I’ll read it (eventually). I love
a good book. I’m a big fan of good sci-fi, fantasy
and comics as well as books that provide insight
into exciting theories, new or old. Currently, I’m
looking for:
- The Book of Tao / Tao Te Ching
- The Bardo Thodol - The Tibetan Book of
the Dead
- The Analects of Confucius
- The Gita
- The I Ching
- The Secret of the Golden Flower
- Anything you think I should read, but don’t
overdo it, I already have stacks of “to read”
books.
- Hardware:
Some expensive stuff I fantasize about
- tiny sub-notebook with Transmeta processor
see http://icube.us
- a car
- a motorbike
- some damn fine chocolate
- an rc helicopter for assembly fun
- a digital projector! - all I need is a lightbulb,
really
- a tiny rf video camera
- a castle
- a pool table and somewhere to put it
