Laptops with Rens and Martin.

So next year is all about moving and getting everything in order in our new home. However, I think it's only fair I also focus on some of my projects. The thing is, I might need some items to get started. These items in general aren't really cheap. So maybe you can help me pick the right item.

Sewing machine
Needed to get Retro Hugs started. I am going to make all sorts of textile products.

Teleconverter lens
I would like to make the most of my telephoto lens and macro lens. Buying a teleconverter will basically give the effect of twice the focal length. Basically taking pictures of the moon will be much more spectacular. The same goes for macro shots...

Derwent pencils
I'm a sucker for art supplies. And Derwent is just a favorite brand. I have a few sets of Derwent on my wish list...

MacBook
Now I know I recently bought an iMac and that's cool and all. But I still don't have anything to take with me when I go to clients.

None of these, instead save for custom office furniture!
I plan on having a craftsman make custom furniture for my future office. Custom furniture is expensive.

What do you think I should pick? I still don't know. I think I prefer to have my office furniture first. But this might just be the most expensive one of all. Sigh.

In case you missed it yesterday, we finally launched MacDesperate! For a detailed story about us, I suggest you read the About Us page on About Us. Short story, 4 people, 2 of which are desperate for a Mac (or MacBook), one already has a MacBook and the other one doesn't want a Mac. We offer news, desktop goodies, updates about gadgets and laptop bags and witty columns. We beg for money and with the holidays approaching, we hope people will be generous enough to donate a little money. But my main goal is to show my saving progress (which you can see in the sidebar).
