Michael's Christmas Wish List


1) 4x Universal Speaker Stands for our Home Theater (~$50)

You will probably have to get these from a local store, and talk with someone who understands what it's for... The speakers they are for weigh 6 lbs each. Many stands are only made for 3-5 lbs.


2) 60GB OCZ Agility 3 Solid State Hard Drive (~$100)

Prefer used, if it's at all cheaper. See it Amazon, or try Ebay


3) Some type of tablet,scheduler, or smart phone that will allow me to use the web. What I'm really looking for is something that will fit in my pocket and allow me to look at google calendar without my computer on. If possible, there might be some type of handheld pda that allows you to keep your schedule offline, and sync back up when you get online. Something like that would help me a lot. I saw this tablet for $70. Maybe you could find something cooler.


4) Garmin Nuvi 1450LMT ($121)
I'm pretty sure I want this one, but if you ask Kenny, he should help you. See it on Amazon.


5) If all else fails, gift cards are a good way to go. I like the Olive Garden, Chili's, and Applebee's. But I don't know which all of those we have around here.

Wish List

OK, so this is the newest wish list I have for you. I plan to keep updating it as I find more things I really want. Unfortunately, having lived a little in the "real world", I find it hard to put things on my list that aren't practical and needful. On the flipside, I hate putting practical things on a wishlist, because it doesn't seem as cool if I would have already bought it myself... So I have taken pains to include the items I have included. Happy hunting!!!

PRINTER INK LINK

The first item I would like, is a nice set of refillable inks for our printer. What really sets this one apart from others is that it has special designed easy-to-refill cartridges included with it. They say that the original cartridges which came with the printer are refillable, but a little tricky. And since these were included for little or nothing extra, I think they're worth it.

Cost: $24.29

HARRY POTTER LINK

I have been wanting the blu ray movies of Harry Potter for a while now, but I just haven't gotten them, because I already have the DVDs (except the newest one). But they are totally sweeter in high definition.

Cost: $55 for yrs 1-5; $20 for 6th year (note that the newest one comes out early December)

G51 LINK

I would also like is a 5.1 channel surround sound system for our computer. I REALLY would like a 7.1 channel system, but I couldn't find any for a computer. I would be fine with any basic system, but I just thought this was a good combination of performance, value, and price. Something cheaper would be much appreciated, but I certainly wouldn't want anything better than this.

Cost: $110 for G51, could be as low as $60 for something cheaper

Now, as for Hannah, the only thing I know that she wants is a jewelry box... But I don't know what kind exactly. I don't think she even knows. I know that you could probably pick one up at Finders Keepers for cheap.

Free Hotcakes!

I found out last night, over the radio, that McDonald's Restaurants in Milwaukee were giving away free hotcakes and sausage breakfasts this morning. I decided to take advantage of it. Skeptical of long lines, and possible catches to the "free" food, I couldn't be sure what to expect. However, it was a real slick situation, I got in and got out, no hitches. It was awesome. Martin Luther was also born this day in 1483. Viva la revolucion!

Free Time

I just realized it has now been several months since I have updated anything on here. It's about time to write again. Since last time, I started Seminary, which is sweet. I get to study God's Word in the original languages, along with my brothers in the faith. We also do church history, hermeneutics, and homeletics. It's really neat.

Last night I FINALLY got our wedding pictures updated properly on my website, you should check them out.

As for school, I am currently in midterm. I have had a couple of tests, which were easy. But I really believe that the main goal of this school is education, not testing. So easy tests are fine with me. Finally, we have been doing this stuff for years, and none of it is radically different from what we have done before.

End of July Update

Hello everyone! I am having a good morning, and wanted to share a bit with everyone. First off, after being moved in and settled down after the honeymoon, I got the pics up on my website. Again, you can check it out here. I also started looking for jobs.

Right now, it looks like I will be doing something at the YMCA. Probably like lower management stuff. It is cool, though, because they have a totally new pool there. It has like 5 platform dives, and a 16 foot deep diving well, which also has a below water viewing area. The pool is convertable from a regular lap pool to a long course lap pool, and has adjustable height on the pool bottom (evidently only 3 of its kind exist).

In other news, I got a new host name for my website, which seemed a little easier to remember. It is http://michaelschneider.co.cc. It's really just a link to my old site, but I think it is easier for people to remember. For fun, I tried to look up myself in Google this morning. I guess people say that I "googled myself". I found that if you type in my full name, "Michael Wayne Schneider", with the quotes like that, you will find me in 1 / 7 possible results. I also found that if you search for the names Imrightbehindyou and Kratos at the same time, all 3 results point to my sites. That was kind of exciting for me.
