Ah, the Dreams, the Goals, the Desires....

So, I like toys. However, I prefer toys that hook up to the computer.

Items on my get list right now include:

The most awesomenest comfortable headphones available. Well, there are better, but they're called edition 7 and they're 2000 dollars, so I'll stick with these Sony's. As it is, I have MDR-V600, the way way way way little brother to these guys.

Sony Headphones Baby.

(TigerDirect is a partner store under shop.com by the way)

Though TD says this mouse only has 4 or 5 buttons, it has 11 functional 'buttons', so don't be fooled. I bought the MX700, and then the MX1000 came out. They fixed all my complaints on the 1000, that's why I want it. If I do get it, Jeff Heustis can have my 700.

Logitech LASER (not optical) Wireless Mouse.

These speakers are 5.1 surround, and thus only work to their fullest extent with a 5.1 capable PC. (Mine is).

Logitech z-5500 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround Speaker System. (phew, long name).

This isn't really a computer toy, but it is for film making, and it's a dream item.

AT-897 Shotgun Microphone.

This next puppy IS a computer. I want one with all the candy, and that cost's about 8 to 10 thousand dollars. These comps are liquid cooled and overclocked, as well as each one being custom built to your specification. They're the best on the market, period. I can't decide though if I want AMD with SLI, or Pentium 4 with SLI. The AMD is 64 bit, but only 2.6 Ghz, whereas the Pentium 4 is 4.2 Ghz, and only 32 bit. I think I'm going AMD, cause it's WAY better for video work.

Alienware ALX Gaming Rig.

Well now, that's about one third of the stuff I'd like to get, but unfortunately, it's about 20 million times how much money I have. :-)

Don't worry, I shall remedy that....

What's on your dream list?

Ok, now another short quiz.

1. Do you own a digital camera?

2. Do you do your computer work with speakers, or with headphones?

3. Do you prefer to listen to music while working, or while playing?

Ok, quiz is over, and I would like to say THANK YOU to Jennifer for the really nice comment!

Yeah.

Last but not least, the Christmas present I wrote for all of you will begin filming in two weeks, post production in three, and hopefully release in two months. However, I'm REALLY good at pushing release dates backwards through time. Don't count on anything, unless it's from the government (note the irony).

I still can't get Todd's movie to work. I'll try recompressing it. It's not superhigh priority, but it was REALLY cute, and I'm sure yawl'd love it.

Ok, and uh, yeah.

Have fun everyone!
