I'm a consumer just like everyone else. I realize that things aren't the solution to the few problems that I've got, but I lust after things just the same. I hope that by writing down the things that I want I'll see how silly and unnecessary they really are. On the other hand... |

< | Aerostich Roadcrafter motorcycle suit. I can almost justify this insanely expensive suit on the basis that I'm less likely to look like pizza if I get off of my motorcycle while its moving. But the reality is that I want one of these suits precisely because they're expensive rather than any other reason. Since I got a Ducati I'm more into leather these days, so I'm going the Vanson route. |

Compaq Ipaq PDA. It runs GNU/Linux so it must be great, right? In principle this device might make sense for me, but in practice it would be a huge (albeit fun) time sink. I've already got a Palm III which is boring but keeps track of addresses just fine. But I want I want I want one of these.
Ventura Vmatic watch. I don't even wear a watch, so why do I lust after this $1000 lump of titanium? |

< | Ducati 996999. This bike is so baaad that if I ever owned one I'm sure it would laugh at me every time I rode it. But I saw one parked near my office the other day and it really got the juices flowing. |

< | Sunglasses. Let's face it, the glasses that you get in the dime store are probably fine but these folks have convinced me that I need to spend $195 on a pair of sunglasses that I'll probably lose in less than a year anyway. http://www.oakley.com/ostore/eyewear/polarized_a_wire/ |
