My birthday is a week from this Friday, and as usual I'm not going to make an Amazon wishlist or anything like that. Instead, I'd rather you get something for yourself (or a friend/loved one/whomever) at Amazon.com through my affiliate link so I get a small percentage of the sale in Amazon.com gift certificates. Unlike previous years, this year I'm going to make recommendations for you as to cool stuff you can get that you might not already have. (All of the links below include my affiliate tag, so you can order directly from them and I'll get a bit of the sale.)
Jill Tracy's Diabolical Streak -- Hearts of Space did a show devoted to macabre music last year, and played some of Jill Tracy's work even though it doesn't really fit in the usual milieu of new age. I fell in love instantly, and even if you don't have as healthy of a dark side as I have, I highly encourage you to buy this CD just to have it around for those special occasions like Halloween and such.
DDR Max 2 and a good starter dance pad for Playstation 2. Max 2 was the game I first learned DDR on, and it's still the best home version to learn DDR on. Great for you or for a spouse. (Remember Naomi, Don's birthday is coming up soon!)
Empowering Education: Critical Teaching for Social Change by Ira Shor -- With all the work I've been doing on maloneysbaloney.org this past half-year, I thought you all might be interested in a book that explains my own teaching philosophy and helps to shoot down some of the arguments right-wingers make about education.
Oh My Goddess! OVA volume 1 -- Oh My Goddess! is not just the greatest anime ever, it's also the greatest story ever told. The real emotional pull comes from the episodes in volume 2, but I fell in love with the episodes in Volume 1, and you won't find a better way to spend your DVD money.
Oh, and the trip to Pinball Pete's has been moved up to Friday night, so if any recently-AAed-Max-300-Heavy players in Michigan care to join me and the other Toledo players there, please do so. ^.^
