New Wishlist

Last month included my birthday, and like usual, no one new what to get me.... that has mostly to do with who I am, I'm picky. Anyways... a few years ago for the holidays, I created a wishlist to help people out. My research actually started when I was trying to build a 'Fair Trade' wishlist for our wedding. Anyways... I knew that many stores had lists, but I wanted something that could handle outside items. I initially tried and used a site call MetaWishlist, it worked for me, but not for our registry... I liked it but is was in way early beta and eventually I got tired of it. At the same time I used GiftHat for our fairtrade registry. So when I heard that the developer of GifHat had an import option for MetaWishlist, I migrated. So for the last few years Gifthat has managed my wishlist, and managed it well. I on the other hand was terrible at updating it and a number of the products, well they were no longer available. This all said, last month my brother remembered that I had a list and managed to find on Google, and bought probably the only item on it I had added in the last year, a Creative Zen media play (other than that, the only thing I've added to my list was books for me to buy). It was probably one of the better gifts I've received in many a year, not because I selected it, but because it was something I really wanted but had no idea some one would or had bought it for me. So it reminded me the value of a wishlist. So today I was looking through my wishlist, and with the exception of a few items, almost everything was from Amazon. Not just that, the items that were directly from Amazon, they were actually there through the partnering shops (most of my items were from ThinkGeek and DealExtreme, both list many if not almost all their items on Amazon). Now while I've heard that Amazon does not treat there employees the greatest, you can't argue with the amazing selection. So basically I'm announcing my new wishlist which is available on Amazon, actually there are 3 wishlist, 1 for generic stuff, 1 for movies and music (and other related stuff), and a 3rd which is basically book about programming and such learning materials that are on my list to eventually buy.
