I’m turning 16 soon and my parents want to let me pick something relatively small in addition to the (currently unknown) gift they’ve chosen. The funny thing is that I have almost no clue as to what I want. There are plenty of things out there, but nothing pops out as being amazingly useful or otherwise cool. Ideally, I’d like to get something that won’t break the bank (costs under 0), but is useful. Because this is a bit of an odd question, I’ve put it in two different formats below. The first uses lists to describe my buying habits, and the other one tries to describe the type of person I am. You can read one or the other and still be able to give a pretty good answer.

If you could recommend something that fits in one of the following categories or something similar, please let me know:
portable gadgets like the Kindle, blogging, reading, making projects that involve music and/or graphics, eco-friendly ideas, money (really good investments), and advertising and marketing.
I’m either not interested in, not eligible for, or already have enough of things like a car, clothes, videogames, music and movies (like CDs and DVDs), temporary things like food or subscriptions, gift cards, furniture/decoration, cameras, phones, and MP3 players.

If a description of behavior and personality works better for you, I’d say that even though most of my friends are higher on the "social food chain" at school, I’m a bit of a closet geek. While I don’t participate in the robotics club or anything like that, I’ve bought high-end iPod docks, use Photoshop, Dreamweaver, and Renoise to make pictures, websites and music, and read a lot of books in my spare time. I used to run a relatively successful (around 50 hits per day) blog where I pointed out cool things and wrote guides to everyday tasks, but shut it down due to privacy concerns.
Thank you so much for any help you can offer in this decision. Sorry for this question being so long–I just want to make sure that I get the best answers possible.

If you can’t link to it, that’s par for the course. It said "Blog on Sabbatical."
The problem is that a couple months later, I returned to blogging. But ever since, the lead entry that appear in an RSS window feed on My Yahoo! is usually that "Blog on Sabbatical" post, and not my most recent one.
And often, when I click on My Blog, Yahoo! 360 defaults to that sabbatical post, and not my most recent post. It seems that somehow that Sabbatical post got etched into Yahoo’s memory bank somewhere.
Help! People have discontinued reading because of this problem. Any ideas of how to stop this from happening?
Dave Sifry is the CEO of Technorati, the major search engine for blog-based content. I have had the pleasure of spending a whole day with Dave, driving with my motorino around the secret beauty spots of Rome while chatting and discussing about all of our passions. Dave Sifry, greatly enjoys taking photographs and so I drove him to some unique places where few tourists can arrive with their own legs. Here, just in front of the Colosseum, I captured Dave’s thoughts about blogs and about their relevance in today’s media panorama. His thoughts and vision are a must-listen to, as from his Technorati dash board he really he is on of the few having the true pulse of state of the blogosphere. The clips was shot in Rome on February 2nd 2006. – “A good way of thinking about a blog is that it’s a person’s attention expressed over time on the internet. So, it’s a person writing a daily journal that is their thoughts, what they’re doing, what they’re thinking, who they care about, things that they want to talk about: products they like, companies they hate, teams that they love, people that they love…sharing is what it’s all about. Think of blog like a public e-mail to the world, because infact the tools are very similar. You could write something in a blog editor which looks just like writing an e-mail, the only difference is that instead of hitting send and your e-mail just goes out to that one friend of yours or just that group of people that you’re writing to, it gets published …
