wish list

So, I’ve had the Amazon.com wish list over there in the menu bar for a couple of weeks now. It’s there because people (not random strangers on the street, but people like my wife, mom and dad) say I’m hard to shop for. Part of this has to do with the fact that I don’t generally just state what I want. I hint around (all passive-agressive-like). I have my cravings and desires just like everyone else, but I try to keep them in check and part of this involves not just putting it out there — saying what I want everytime I want something.

The wish list is subtle (most of my friends and family are not in the habit of reading my website) but it also allows me to say, “hey, I gave you a list.” Well, it would if it pointed to something usefull. It didn’t until about five minutes ago — just a generic ‘signup for a wishlist’ form. Deleted my cookies and discovered my error.
