phizzled's Profile

After living in dorms, I like the idea of being able to spread out. That said, I live a life where I really don't get to spend all that much time at home, and I did end up putting computers and alarms in pretty much every room. I don't know if I'd have ever considered it weird without seeing this post.

more space at a cheaper per month cost than a mortgage (though, we lose some tax benefits for renting, in this state).
free heat, water, snow removal.
two garage spaces (in a city where one car garages are the norm)
basement storage
walkable neighborhood

oh god, the Ann Arbor one. (As I will say to my wife later today when I show her this, "Yes, yes, yes!")

that cd shelf inspires so much jealous. i would almost buy a house just so i could do that.

The Rodelle image is a fantastic bedroom set up. Especially love the open closet. Wish I could trick my wife into that, but open doors make her paranoid while she sleeps.

my boss is convinced he can buy tablets to replace the laptops of people in the field, but as one of the guys in the office who has to use rendering and CAD software, I don't see it ever happening. there's no reasonable way to get the power he (and apparently others in his demographic) is expecting and maintain the battery life that makes tablets more delightful for travel.

I probably love this. Simple and elegant.

I fully want a windows phone, and kind of wish they had been better when i was due for my last upgrade. then again, i'm also willing to carry an mp3 player so i don't have to worry about watching movies or listening to music on my phone most of the time.

Seamless web has long depressed me, because I remember what life in a law firm is like. Everything else is much less depressing, particularly as you showed us applications rather than just products.

much to the chagrin of my wife, I tend to keep my to do list on my bathroom mirror in dry erase ink. it's impossible to act on most things while i'm starting my day, but it reminds me every day if i have some sort of deadline, whether at home or business. digital lists are nice, but she already is annoyed with the frequency I check my phone and computers when we're at home simultaneously for such a brief amount of time each day.
