grimm is apparently a greedy bastard, but since people are always asking him what he wants for Christmas and he can never remember, here we are:

• there are all sorts of projects to do, so gift cards to places like Home Despot, Lowe's, Newegg, iTunes, Small Dog Electronics, Logic Supply, and Barnes & Noble never run amiss. :-)
• what's a LinkUSBi? Well, it's a...you see, it does...it enables...er...it's very nice. ;-)
• Pro Tools M-Powered is a lot to ask; incremental donations toward its purchase in the form of Small Dog gift cards help!
• well, yes; of course grimm would love an iPad and a case for it...
• the "Planet Earth" 5-DVD (normal DVDs, please) set, the Attenborough version!
• the Shel Silverstein "A Light in the Attic", "Where the Sidewalk Ends", and "The Giving Tree" set
• grimm has some projects around the house, and these would be helpful:
  • a ConnectLand "two port" or "dual DVI/VGA USB KVM switch with audio"; these guys usually have a "Buy It Now!" eBay auction, with prices anywhere between $39.00-$60.00; there are a lot of variations in the wording on that page, but they're all the same item, as far as I can tell; whatever they call it, the pictures (and feature list) should look something like this
  • one or two "Windows PC Multimedia Remove Control+USB RF Receiver B" as carried by these folks
  • one of these cables
  • one of these cables
  • a new UPS
• grimm needs to practice his putting with an Innova Discatcher Traveler How about yellow? :-) (thanks, fam!)
• grimm likes to read, and would like to read Steven Levitt's Freakonomics! (thanks, Sweetie!)
• and Paul Wellstone's Conscience of a Liberal
• picture books are nice, too, and Brian Hayes' Infrastructure looks like fun... (thanks, Sweetie!)
• Bill Bryson's Bryson's Dictionary for Writers and Editors looks like fun (but probably only to grimm and about twenty other people on Earth, including you) (thanks, Outlaws!)
• who couldn't use another terabyte of storage?
• grimm's trying to be a musician again, and needs to re-outfit his studio; stuff gets old/software's no longer supported...
  • grimm HAD the earlier version of this (it makes editing music recordings much more pleasant), but something from the ceiling dripped on it years back, and it hasn't been right, since...
  • and we don't have a piano (yet), but this would do nicely for now... :-)
• more music! grimm and Sweetie like (among others):
  • Regina Spektor
  • Imogen Heap
  • The Beatles
  • Soul Coughing
  • Thievery Corporation
  • Björk
  • Frank Sinatra
  • Dean Martin
  • "Weird Al" Yankovic
  • Natalie MacMaster
  • Dada
  • The Candy Skins
  • the music of Gustav Holst, Percy Grainger, J.S. Bach, Palestrina, di Lasso
  • any recording conducted by Leonard Bernstein
• who can ever have enough golf discs?
  • grimm likes this putter...
  • Misker Mistavage and Kyles keep telling grimm he needs a Raging Inferno and a Raging Inferno DT
  • Sweetie and grimm need a set for night disc golf! (maybe a #1 Driver, a #1 Roller, and something else?) (thanks, Russ!)
• how much of a nerd can you be? you can be a nerd who likes books about intellectual property law
• any season of the X-Files on DVD, except Season Six (don't ask why we only have Season Six) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9. the movie was pretty good, too ;-)
• grimm and Sweetie love art! we love the art that our friends and family choose! pick some!
• grimm wouldn't mind a complete set of the seven Harry Potter books; we have #1, #2, #3, and #7 (we borrowed the rest); paperbacks are lovely...
