Ivan's birthday wishlist

So the old Bday is right around the corner (Jan 16th - 27yrs) so I thought I would give some ideas to you would-be shoppers (if no one gets me anything I think I will be okay though) if you don't wanna just get some gift cards.
  1. An ultra small LED keychain flashlight - There are fancy ones and cheap ones, what it has to have is a twist on/off (or other cool on and leave it on) switch so if I need to use it to look at something I don't have to hold down a button (and I don't want the light to be on in my pocket all day). I have found some options, a more pricey one is Fenix P1 its one of the smallest and brightest ones that are made (brighter and smaller than the mini LED Maglite) and Amazon has it for $49 or so.
  2. Locking (screw-gate) Key-chain Carabiner - There are some you can get in a real brick'n'mortar that cost $6-$10 a piece, or buy a lot of 6 for $6+s/h. All I'm looking for is to replace the one my sister got for me a long time ago (it has lasted me about 3 yrs or so and just now began to fail).
  3. Green Laser - There are more than just one kind of these, there are the kick 'a' kinds (BFG for $200) or just the "cheapy" ones (less than $100 ones) If you attempt to buy a cheap one make sure you buy one that includes an IR filter or you will burn your eyeballs (even without looking directly into the laser) out with IR laser radiation!
  4. Guitar Hero for PS2- I have GH3 (Guitar Hero III) but am looking to get the whole set (GH1 & GH2).
  5. Large(ish) Internal 2.5" laptop HDD - NewEgg.com has a 120GB one for $70+s/h and I think that is all that is really needed.
  6. Apple MacBook Air - Wow... so sexy and sleek!
  7. Aptera - an all electric car for commuting! Its only $27k or so... think about it ;)
Some of this stuff exists on my Amazon Wish list, but you may find a better deal elsewhere.
