If money were no object, how would you change your current setup?
I would get a really fast computer for image processing, a nicer video camera, a good audio system, and a few projectors. I really want to try 3D projections.

What fantasy piece of technology would you like to see invented?
A Wii remote connected to a cross between Photoshop and CAD, connected to a huge color rapid prototyping machine, so I can just draw whatever I want in space and have it printed out for me. (Does something like this exist already?)
