Gift Ideas

The primary purpose of this page is to help me remember the things I want to buy for myself… something of a personal wish list. (I’m terrible with remembering this type of stuff.) I opted to keep this list here so that I could access it from anywhere, but also so that you, dear friend, could have some guidance to the desires of my heart should you want to purchase me a gift. But first a primer…

Probably the primary thing to know about me is that I’m something of a geek. That doesn’t mean that I have a hankering for video games, iPods or other such entertainment devices. Instead I find more entertainment in education, science, et cetera. I like to measure stuff, build stuff, take stuff apart and, ultimately, learn how things work. If you’re looking to find a “thoughtful” gift, anything that will allow me to do those things would be thoroughly enjoyed. Here’s a list of subjects I find interest in that may guide your shopping: aviation, photography, weapons, radio, space and astronomy, computing, travel, sports, camping and hiking, so on and so forth. A complete list of my interests would be entirely too long, almost defeating the purpose of even listing them.

So here it is… my personal shopping list.
