I'm a sucker for that color green, but I really don't like that much, that intensely in the room. One stripe might have done the trick for me.

Cute, but utterly pointless. I'm not really so keen on this when www."site desired here".com would do the same trick.

I appreciate it. When you hear someone describe their life's experience and choices, you're not looking for an instruction manual with detailed instructions, you're looking for the essence of their choices.

@ JMOREY - use 2 letter trays and the cords that came with them. Often they come as a stackable set where you can also put another organizer on top.

I like the style, but I think I'd want the belkin ipad stand with that nifty stylus with dripguard. I really like the sliding doors.

It's really too bad the tactile one is in such an ugly case.

Airsharing lets us copy .pdfs over to the phones/pads for viewing. I think there's a similar feature for Android.

Buy it. We got my mom an iMac that she loved, we only got her to Skype once, but I would regret not buying it now. We got my partner's mom an iPad for her birthday and she loved it. She shows pictures on it and reads her novels.  Don't let your presumptions stand in the way.  We didn't get one for my dad, and he started playing solitaire on mine in 10 seconds. The home button was his only difficulty at age 81.

@ Toypixie - it's easy to make standoffs for the foam core: Cut squares and stack them to make legs. |||| 4 layers would make a good standoff to allow airflow behind the foam core.

Something you could also try is reverting to the old school way of putting the CPU under the monitor, often towers can be placed on their sides safely.

You could also build a cabinet or enclosure to divide the desk in the center and setup keyboard/monitors on each side of it.

I didn't know these existed. Fascinating.

Over the counter allegra. No "d." Generic fexofenadine. Honey is often nice though.

I second what Etoiles said, shutdown and restart does not close the apps. Forcequit is required more with some apps than others. Facebook is the worst offender for me.

I remember Kevin Alter from when I thought I was going to be an architect. It's awesome to see such a thought out finished product. As an engineer who doesn't live in Austin anymore, I must confess to jealousy of the house and the location.

Not addicted, but definitely accustomed to using it as filler whenever I'm bored. It's a bad habit, whitespace - look at net. Probably better off reading something offline.

I applaud this as a move, but the general trend these days for clipped audio makes me really doubt this is going to do much good.


Apple Launches "Mastered for iTunes", Higher Quality Music

I've been doing that for a while. Motivation of making sure you're up and in the bathroom before #2 goes off and annoys your partner helps. Don't want to be "that guy."


Never Wake Up Late Using the Multiple Alarms Technique

I went with a Canon DSLR since I was accustomed to their menus from our previous point and shoot. If you've been considering for a while, you may want to consider your local big-box store too, we got a kit with 2 lenses for a very reasonable price. Had we stuck with the local shops, we would have done not quite as well and only had 1lens.
