I have one of those measuring cups and I LOVE it! Just about everything from OXO is first rate.
Yes, I like their stuff. Love their potato peeler, best I've used.
Maybe you know this already, but you can cut off a piece of one of those shelf-liners and put it under your cutting board to prevent it from sliding around.

But then I can't get a fancy new cutting board!

I want to be home instead of Afghanistan so I can watch my niece and nephew grow up.

Just a little over 3 months left....

These are probably the two things I want most - a white Barcelona chair for my bedroom and a Samsung plasma, but I think I may just have a low key Christmas and not really get any presents. I'm between projects, trying to save some money, and I don't want my family getting me anything.

But it's fun to window shop. :cool:

Two great ones for 3D are right here:

http://www.amazon.com/Primer-Graphics-Development-Wordware-Library/dp/1556229119/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1321134636&sr=8-1

And this one (make sure to do the Math Primer first though!)

http://www.amazon.com/Mathematics-Programming-Computer-Graphics-Third/dp/1435458869/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1321134675&sr=1-1

Those, along with a good Linear Algebra book (the dummies series is actually really good) will have you sailing through 3D in no time :)

Any place but here or there....
all I want

is my mom and sisters to be healthy and happy.

I'm grateful for my health and situation (job etc.).

Gift?

Maybe I will ask for that multi-region blu ray player, but really I'll be more than happy if my family are in a good way.

Well these would be nice so fingers crossed my dear wife will sort me out, if not i'll have to get them ;), still, it's the thought that counts and all that.

I'm looking to get my hands on this stuff

iPhone 4S 32GB
almost sure I'll get this for Christmas, and send my 3GS to a well deserved retirement ;)
step0-iphone4s-gallery-image3.png

Bose Quietconfort 15 headphones, even though I think that since I'll be getting the iPhone, I'd settle for a less expensive pair of noise-cancelling headphones
(Do you guys have any suggestions bout that?)

Nikon 50mm 1.8G lens

I'm most likely to get the lens earlier though :)

So it's quite simply this and this:

If $$ is an issue with the espresso machine, look at DeLonghi's less expensive machine. It's lee than $100, does everything the pictured machine does, and makes great espresso!:D

ahah yeah I know that they're great, I've tried them out a couple of times and the noise cancellation is absolutely fantastic, and they're very comfortable too, but I was just concerned about the price since I'll be spending almost 700€ for the iPhone (I'm going for the factory unlocked 32GB) Oh well, maybe I'll save some more money :rolleyes: would you suggest going for them instead of a cheaper model?

I'd simply suggest you try a few good brands before you shell out good money on those things. The sound is alright, not the best, and from what I hear (lol!) they don't last so long. Still, that depends on how well you pamper your stuff and how often it's used.
