James's Wish List

This is just a list of things that I want, so that I drool over them in a nice orderly fashion. Also if one was wondering what kind of present I would want, they could look here. :)

I also have a list of successfully received gifts! Thanks all.

• Coral Sheet Music - Laura and I were in a choir, and we sung some cool songs. I would like at least 2 copies of each piece of music listed here.

• Lego X-Wing - $50. This is a sweet looking set (set number 6212). It would go well with my Millenium Falcon set. Apparently, this is only sold at Toys-R-Us or online.

• Lego Motion Power - $50. I really cool looking set (number 4895) with a moter and 3 different things to build. I just think this set would be so much fun. Plus it has a moter, and my old 4.5 volt moter burned out. The motor takes 6 AA batteries, so perhaps some more rechargable batteries would be nice. Looking around at three different stores, I've only seen this at Smith's Marketplace and Toys-R-Us (Wal-Mart didn't carry it).

• Lego Star Wars 2 - $30. Sequal to one of my most favorite games ever. The demo just makes me want it more.

• Star Trek TNG 7 Season Box set - $300 from places like Costco and Sam's Club. Yeah, it's a lot of money, but that's $1.69 per episode (178 total episodes).

• Weird Al's Straight Outta Lynwood $14-20. This is Weird Al's latest offering of crazy musical goodness (Amazon link). "White and Nerdy" showed up on the web, and it is good stuff.

• Programming Sudoku - $25 list. Written by Wel-Meng Lee. This looks like a really cool book about how to program Sudoku.

• C++ Templates - $66 list, $52 Amazon.com, $40 used. C++ Templates: The Complete Guide by David Vandevoorde and Nicolai M. Josuttis. This is an excellent book on programming with templates. It has been referred to me many times.
