These things are just because I get complaints from my family, because I always whish the same. The last 7 years or something I have only whished "Anything that can fly" for birthday and christmas.

This often has meant that I got like 3 RC planes, one chopper and some strange things to fly. At one time I got a tank of helium. I tell you; This is quite a good idea. if it flies, it is bound to be cool! I have a whole shelf full of RC insects, UFO's, rockets.. all sorts :) I can recommend it!

I’m actually pretty simple here…

All I really want is a MSI Wind laptop and an axe042 diplay for Walter. That’s it.

Well, world peace and all that crap too, I guess.

I want toys to take apart

I want toys to take apart and use the pieces for further "projecting"

That and some new music to groove to…

… and a pony (I always tell people I want that)

Hmmm…

An AVR programmer.

Some AVR chips.

Various sensors (IR, ultrasonic, accelerometer, etc)

An oscilloscope.

Time to play with my toys.

Oh and like CtC said, world peace, good will towards men, yada yada…

Toys!

I was trying to figure out the magnetic film, what it might be used for, found a video

Lots of other interesting materials.

For me, I’d like an oscilliscope too, been watching ebay for a good 100 MHz.

A Harbor Freight bench lathe and mini-mill and tools. (and a place to put them)

An IMU of some sort.

Some QTC to try out, experiment with.

A serial OLED display maybe.

A better soldering station, maybe a stereo microscope for soldering small parts.

Probably hope for just gift certificates to Sparkfun, ServoCity, or at least Frys.
