The What?

Since I can't ask for donations due to the Finnish law (I'd need a "money-gathering license", usually given to charity organizations and whatnot), I figured I'd make a wishlist of stuff I'd like to get if someone feels like supporting me.

Most of the things I'm listing here are related to further development of things you already find on this site, or similar stuff. Others are just.. well, fun. =)

Part of the reason I'm listing these is that someone might feel like supporting me, and the other part is that for some people the following are not all that expensive (such as if you happen to have something to do with the manufacturer), and well, who knows.

Feel free to mail me for any questions.


The List!
  • Intel mac.
    Any model would do. Even mac mini. Would help me with porting stuff over, as well as figuring out any intel-based mac problems.

  • New version of visual studio
    I'm currently using Visual Studio .net2003 pro, and would like to have a new version. No, not the express edition. No, not the student-only-not-for-commercial-use-license.

  • Camtasia studio
    Would help me make more interesting video tutorials. Its price tag is a bit hefty though.

  • iPod touch
    Just because =)

  • Haptic devices
    I think it would be neat to experiment on these, but the prices are way out there.

  • OpenPandora
    Seems like a very promising open handheld. Might be interested to develop stuff for it.

  • TabletPC
    Some of my stuff, like Atanua, would probably thrive on a device like this.

  • USB vinyl record player
    We have some old vinyls, would be nice to turn them into MP3s and listen to them again..

  • Small USB midi keyboard
    I have some ideas for music programs, but not serious enough to plonk down the money for one of these yet.

I understand these are quite expensive. If you really want to give me something and the above things are out of reach, I'd love to receive games on steam. List of my current steam games is available here. I naturally also buy games outside steam, so if you want to make sure I don't already have a game and/or don't want to surprise me, toss me a mail first.
