2008 Christmas Wish List

It’s that time of year again. People are asking what I want.

  • NSLU2
  • archiving supplies: neutral-pH, unbuffered acid free paper desired (to
    stabilize and store an antique family quilt, pending repair/restoration):

    • cardboard tube (approx. 3″ diameter, 6′ length)
    • rectangular box (min. dimensions: 6″x6″x6′)
    • tissue paper (approx. 100sq. ft.)…at a minimum this must be the acid free, neutral-pH, unbuffered paper. The wider and less pieces (ie: roll not sheets?) the more convenient.
  • archiving supplies: neutral-pH, unbuffered acid free paper desired (to stabilize and store 46 antique glass negatives (4×5″) and my great
    grandfather’s notes per slide on location/time/lighting/exposure):

    • 46x tissue paper sheets or 4×5″ glass slide negative sleeves/envelopes…at a minimum this must be the acid free, neutral-pH, unbuffered paper. (eg: demco.com product# WS20250550)
    • box to hold…minimum dimension to match sleeve/envelope lenght and width, plus approx. 6″ deep
  • this bit of Vespa bling
  • physical audio CD’s (non-download)

    • The Cure’s “4:13 Dream”
    • Underworld’s “Oblivion with Bells”
    • Faithless’ “To All new Arrivals”
    • Aphex Twin’ “Chosen Lords”
    • George Winston’ “December”
    • one or two cd’s that that are representative of classic/good Beach Boys studio albums (pref. not greatest hit samplers, but the actual studio album/albums)
    • a compilation of music mentioned in Goedel, Escher, Bach
  • iTunes gift card for misc. single downloads
  • WeatherLink® for Vantage Pro2 (USB, unfortunately Windows version)
  • Kill-A-Watt
  • simple analog wall clock with Kanji characters instead of arabic for example something like this. I had a slightly more attractive one than that which died recently, though it was just a simple red plastic frame.
  • Nikon S10 “superwide” angle lens
  • Nikon S10 “telephoto” 2x lens
