AKA wish lists.

My Amazon Wish List and more info on items on that list:

sorta not really (because FF is too slow on it to edit Mediawiki pages) Nokia N810 (official specs, wikipedia, linuxdevices review, maemoapps review)

20 inch Apple Cinema Display (tried one out today 2008-08-22 with my PowerBook12inch and it worked really well, and has both higher and better resolution than my current 19" CRT)
small laptop / subnotebook
- PowerBook G4 12" 80GB (or more) HD, max RAM, in good condition. Contact me if you have one you want to get rid of. I have one but I want a few more for redundancy.
- Dell Mini 9 running OSX looks promising
  - check http://outlet.dell.com/ to purchase a Dell Mini 9
  - see Ben Metcalfe instructions for installing OSX on the Dell Mini that he has successfully setup
  - also MyDellMini: HowTo: Install OS X on the Mini9 (Boot132) Official Thread
- or something like the Panasonic R7b (japan only laptop) could be cool
  - 1kg 7hr battery
  - Runs debian
  - 2.5" drive - upto 160GB drive.
- Sorry HAM (Hot Air MacBook), you're too fat. See more reasons why the MacBookAirSucks.
Digiwall - http://www.interactivearchitecture.org/digiwall.html - climbing+videogame+music - want in/for my house!
Optoma PK101 pico-projector - saw it 2009-071 on the SWA flight OAK-AUS and it was amazing!

Places I want to travel to

2008-12-24 Evolv "pontas" climbing shoes, men's size 11 (tried these during the recent TBS4 bouldering competition at Mission Cliffs and they worked better than my current Evolv shoes).
2008-11-04 BlackBerry 9000 (est. release mid 2008-09-15) - looks like the best bet. EDGE+3G+Wifi from ATT. smartphone with camera - http://brightkite.com/ has *finally* provided a killer-app for the camera equipped smartphone.
2008-07-25 HouseMacBook (decision based on LaptopCriteria).
2008-03-04 LED Umbrella (update 2008-03-04 I HAZ ONE!)
- Always happy to make a geek grin ;) - Ariel
2008-03-02 XBox 360 + Halo 3
- update 2008-05 it's been opened, played, networked, rocked. But I still have to finish Halo2 before I can do/get the Halo3 campaign. One of of these days...
- update 2008-03-02 I HAZ ITS! but I resisted opening the box until after SXSW2008.
- notes from talking with the peeps at Best Buy:
  - Xbox 360 only comes w one controller
  - Get 360 or 360 elite at least (not 360 arcade)
  - Play & charge kit uses NiMH bat ($20 at Best Buy)
  - Halo3 game ($60)
  - Halo3 legendary edition includes helmet, extra footage.
