I actually just cleaned out the crap from my harddrive to see if I could do the same. I currently have a 500GB HD in my MBP and had 190GB of free space. After removing unnecessary programs using AppCleaner, consolidating my photo library and removing duplicates using Adobe Lightroom and moved my iOS device backups to iCloud, I have about 360GB of free space. There may have been a few more things that I removed, but most of the stuff I had filling up my hard drive were things that could be moved to an external drive. I used Disk Inventory X to see where my largest files were and worked down from there.

Commenting on every one of my Facebook posts with something cheesy and then adding my friends and writing on their walls. It's awesome.

What about the DODOCase? simple, sturdy design and holds the iPad2 and new iPad in place securely. By far my favorite.

Love the Apple TV, but It's too limited for me.
I have a similar setup, but I use my PS3 as a media hub. I have Hulu+ and Netflix both streaming to the PS3 and then 2x 2TB harddrives with TV and Movies hooked up to a Pogoplug that also streams to the PS3. Using the Pogoplug allows me to also access these files when I'm out of town. To record TV I stuck a TV tuner in an old PC from my undergrad days and hooked it up to my TV. Eventually I'll probably build a custom HTPC that can do all of those things and sell the PS3. It works pretty well for now.

Sara is my favorite person to watch in the whole world. My partner and I record all of her shows and she is just a great person to learn things from. WE LOVE SARA!

All of the above. I used to have a Sony Vaio, and I've worked on other Windows-based notebooks before, but nothing compares to a Mac in specs, OS, build quality, etc. I had my last Macbook Pro for 5 years and sold it for $500 which went towards my new unibody MBP. That kind of quality and longevity is unheard of in the PC world.
