My wife and I have four "knock-offs" from Lexington Modern sitting around the farm table in our dining room. They're clearly not originals but they do the job. They look nice and they're fairly comfortable (and a vast improvement to the four chairs we had previously). It's all relative I suppose.

Loved it. What a dedicated father.

My wife and I are getting ready to have twin boys in the next couple weeks, and I take this video as a beautiful reminder to capture the many intervals of childhood in video and photos. I'm inspired.

Definitely missing the newest WD TV Live box. Plays the widest range of file formats from an external hard drive. Streams Netflix, Hulu+, et al. Built in wireless. Nice remote. Nice interface. $100. I did my research and found it superior to every option listed above. FWIW.

Thanks for the contributions everyone. Lots of valuable info here.

Not a homeowner yet but my wife and I plan to buy in two years. I'd appreciate if anyone can speak to their experience with private mortgage insurance, realtors commissions, 15/yr vs. 30/yr mortgages, or what they consider to be the *ideal* percentage of down payment. I must say, the idea of paying $275k over 30 years for a $150k mortgage (@ 4.5%) is hard to stomach.
