My Cyber Monday Wish List
Nov 30th, 2009 by Carlos
There are some great deals out there today, and if I had the money and could overcome my fobia of spending money, here is what I would buy:
Amazon Kindle: I don’t know if the Kindle will kill books or if it’s even worth the money, but I’m curious to experiment with this and see how I like it. This might be how we all read books in the future, so I’d like to at least get my hands on one and play with it.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2: I haven’t even finished Fallout 3 yet, but this game looks really juicy. I played it at my friend’s place and it was a blast. This Slate review was also really intriguing.
Nikon D90: My old Powershot camera is around eight years old and now the flash isn’t working for some reason—so I need a replacement. Do I need a camera this advanced and this expensive? No, but it sure would be nice to step into the SLR arena…
What the Dog Saw and SuperFreakonomics: I’m a huge fan of Malcolm Gladwell (see my Outliers review) and Freakonomics made economics fun (and comprehensible) to millions of people. These two are can’t misses.
The Wire: The Complete Series: The greatest show on TV—ever—now in one tidy little box. Other than Seinfeld, this is the only other show I’d ever want to own.
Subscription to Wired Magazine: Gadgets and great reads: the perfect combination.
Subscription to the Wall Street Journal: I’ve been meaning to keep up on the news more than I do, and this might be overkill, but it’s probably one of the best places to get your fix of world news and how the markets are moved on a day-to-day basis.

A friend of mine when was at OSU and also a fraternity brother is the publisher now of Wired magazine. Not a bad job. He probably gets all this great free tech stuff for free.
I own COD: Modern Warfare 2 and the game is great. Definitely get it.
@josh: Sweet! Now there is someone with the perfect job!
@craig: I’ll probably wait til I finish Fallout 3 and hopefully by then the price will come down. It was awesome for the 20 minutes I played it
