Carter Machine Mini-Buzzard

After finding my CCI Phantom that had been sadly neglected in storage, I felt a sudden urge to go out and play some paintball again. Sadly, my current living situation makes a paintball adventure a no-go, but it doesn't stop me from wanting to buy something.

The Carter Machine Buzzard is the best pump marker money can buy, and in 2008, a new design was made that restructured the Buzzard into a more compact size.

Small is sexy.

At least when it comes to paintball markers.

King of Mercia

This certain post is inspired by/dedicated to a friend who is in the market for a touring frame. The King of Mercia is well regarded by the touring community, it's hand-made in England to your custom specifications (changes in geometry have no charge), it's extremely pretty, and the price is very cheap, considering it's a custom frame.

And it's really, really pretty.

Although, getting an "off the peg" Bob Jackson would be a bit more reasonable, and it comes with a few more features. It also has the potential to be just as pretty.

Marcella Foschi Cassette Wallet

Very neat, very cute, somewhat functional. I want one.

Mackie SRM350v2

Probably some of the nicest speakers to throw house parties with. Most piss-guzzling (Natural Light drinking) college students wont appreciate the stunning sound quality, but why settle for less? Answer: Because it's over $1,000 for a pair.

I guess I could just collect some money at the door.

Triumvir Nike Dunk Dutch Haze 2005

Hand painted by the founder of Triumvir back in 2005. Probably sold off by now, but I still want them for their gaudy inappropriateness.

Yonex RQ iS 1 Tour XL 95 Lite

Just got back into playing tennis, so now I want a new racquet. All Yonex racquets have a larger sweet spot than usual due to their "Isometric Square" shape, or whatever (it's kinda square'ish), which is pretty neato, and makes for a very forgiving racquet that still has good feel and control.

Pink Ruger 10/22

A classic, fun .22 rifle that can be endlessly modded, and it comes in pink.

I want to put a Hello Kitty sitcker on the butt and head over to the local firing range.

Panasonic G1

Smallest "DSLR" to date.
Adapters for legacy lenses.

Along with the 20mm f1.7 lens planned for production this year, It would replace my Hexar AF Silver as a small, unobtrusive shooter.
