Now that it is November it is time to start thinking about the holiday season and Christmas. I am such a tech geek I make sure to browse through the
Best Buy circular every Sunday. I guess it brings me back to my days browsing through all the toys in the Sear's Catalog. Of course a number of things have caught my eye over the past year. I just paid off my last major purchase at Best Buy (my Cannon SLR which I LOVE) so I guess that means only one thing. Putting together a wish list for the Holidays.
- Nintendo DSi (Pink) This is what my daughter wants for Christmas. I have never been much of a hand-held video game type of guy. I really do not know much about it, but one thing I do like is the large amount of educational games available. I think "Santa" will be picking this one up soon, so keep this quiet! Not sure how my son will feel about sharing with it being "pink." Odds That I Purchase 99%

Pink Power: I love having a daughter | | | | | | | |

- A Low Price Notebook Computer First, let may say that I love my MacBook Pro, and that is the reason that I need to buy another machine. I want both of my children to be computer literate at a young age. At the same time I do not want all of my financial information, important documents, photographs, videos, etc. wiped out by one of my children using the main computer. I am really not worried about processor speed, graphic cards and hard drive space. This machine will basically be a web browser with a little bit of document production. I realize a netbook may do the job, but I do prefer a machine with a little more (including a hard drive). Odds that I Purchase 99%
- iPod Shuffle in Pink This is also for my daughter. She loves music, and this is the by far the easiest way to listen to music. She has a "discman" but who really wants to lug around a bunch of compact discs any more? I just have to set up a separate play list on my iTunes account and sync it with her Shuffle. It is also the easiest way to buy music as well. Odds that I Purchase 85%

Even More Pink Power |
- An iPad or maybe a Kindle This is all me! As many of my readers know, I have been going back and forth about buying an eReader. One day I want to, the next I have no desire. One day I love the Apple, the next I realize it is overpriced and I should pick up the Kindle. As I write today I must not be in a big eReader mood. Odds that I Purchase the iPad 10%, the Kindle 30%.
- A New LCD Television I just started thinking about this the other day. I have an old HD television, sadly I made the purchase way back when plasma first hit the market (and was way too expensive). Now prices have come way down and I think it may be time to take the leap. I really think there may be a new television in my great room before the Pittsburgh Steelers play on Superbowl Sunday early in 2011! Odds That I Purchase 50%

Yep, I Still Have One of These Beasts in my Great Room |
- 2011 Lincoln Navigator No, I did not win the lottery and no this blog did not get picked up by CNET.com. Remember this is just a wish list. I do have a lease wrapping up early in 2011 so I will be car shopping soon. I love all of the new technology Ford is providing in their new cars. So much has changed just in the last three years. I am really excited to see what options I will have in the car I purchase in 2011. Odds That I Purchase (2011 Navigator) .5%, Odds That I Purchase Another Sweet, New Ford Product 95%

So, what is on your tech wish this list year? Have you been a good boy or girl? Of course my most important wish is that I am able to spend time with my friends and family over the holidays. As long as I wake up Christmas morning with my two little ones and my wife at home it will be a perfect holiday, no gifts necessary! Let the Holiday Shopping Season begin.....try not to throw too many elbows on Black Friday!
