Shutters Inc 

Birthday presents?

Bruce Williams

OK peeps, need your thoughts.
What does a 40 year old guy want for his birthday?
NOT audio gear (’cause anything along that line I’d buy through my company).
Budget? Up to about AU$500 (US$400).
Don’t e-mail me.
Put your ideas in the comments below.
It might help other folks come up with ideas, too!
Thanks y’all!

This post is now closed to further comments. Thanks to all those who made suggestions!

I have been a professional audio engineer since the mid 80's and am happy to do for free in my spare time what I get paid to do during the week. I created Shutters Inc in May 2005, and it is today (as best as I can tell) THE longest-running photography podcast in the world.

    B: A course to learn how to make the perfect espresso
    C: Awesome dinner with spouse / best friend
    D: A couple of tickets to a tractor pulling competition (or something else high testosterone)

    Stuff is just stuff and as always we will get tired of whatever it is.

    Use the cash for a trip or somesort of adventure that you will remember for a while.

    How about going on a photo trip with Shelton? It would make a great podcast.

    1. Bottle of wine from your birth year
    2. Collection of movies from your birth year
    3. Mink lining for your mic case!

    I can think of several… I am turning 40 very soon as well! Congrat’s first off. Hitting the big 4 decades is a good milestone I think.

    Ideas… hmmmm:

    1. A nice new lens for your camera (either prime or telephoto)

    2. A new laptop or PC

    3. A nice quiet dinner with your wife… dinner, dancing or a movie, and a romantic dessert (no kids)

    4. A gift certificate if all else fails.

    Happy Birthday!
