Instead of a small sink, why not a large one that can be partially covered to create additional counter space?

Kohler has some unique sinks right now that are stairstepped -- a deep bowl on one side, and a shallow draining area on the other. The latter leaves more room for storage underneath, and can be covered by a fitted cutting board when not in use:

@Tramesque I've seen these with a pole-and-hook gizmo for lowering and raising them. I'm sure you could attach a pull cord, as well.

It's not exactly an elegant solution, but GE makes an undersink dishwasher that could be about the only option in some kitchens:

It has a reduced upper rack to allow for the sink.

Stationeryfiend: Socket switches aren't common in many parts of the world -- they're virtually unheard of in the US.

Besides, many devices with standby lights will lose some or all of their programming if you cut the power completely.

I strongly recommend that AT change the photograph on this post. What the child pictured is doing is, in most cases, NOT safe, and could cause serious injury.

It also appears to only have one Thunderbolt port -- meaning you can't use this at the same time as an external display.

"Also, heard of intellectual property? I'm not boohooing for a company's lost profits, necessarily, but I do respect a designer's right to his own copyrighted designs."

With the exception of strictly decorative elements, "functional designs" like furniture are eligible for patent protection, not copyright. That lasts for 14 years. All of the examples pictured are long since out of patent protection.

I heard from a store clerk recently that Cobalt is being phased out. Perhaps this is its replacement?

I'm another extremely satisfied Briggs & Riley customer -- I've had a Baseline rollaboard for the past five years (and about 300,000 miles of flying!) and it still looks practically new.

More importantly, they really do stand behind them -- they cheerfully fixed the latch on the one-touch expansion system when it wouldn't stay closed, and shipped me out new wheels when an airline knocked one off.

It's really hard to tell exactly how much space there is under those stairs -- but if you're willing to compromise a little on either viewing position or screen size, it might be possible to put the TV and the desk there with a little creativity.

If you were to run a long worksurface the entire width of the under-stair area, I think you'd have room to place the TV under it on the right side, and room to sit and work to the left of the TV. As a bonus, the desk area would probably serve as a nice serving area if you cleared it off.

If you were doing truly custom cabinetry, I suppose you could design the flanking cabinets with trapezoidal sides to get back the wasted space...

I don't really have a desire to see the big blockbuster movies, but I'd love to do something like this for a local independent theatre.


Would You Actually Use MoviePass?

One thing that's worth mentioning on the AppleTV is the Airplay functionality -- it can be a much more attractive option for someone who already has an iPad.

For example, Hulu Plus isn't available natively on the ATV, but you can stream via AirPlay from the Hulu Plus app. I think the native resolution is lower, though.

Halfway decent speakers should never be that close to a wall. Sound radiates out from speakers in a "pie-wedge" type shape, so roughly half the sound from those is going to hit the wall and distort.

Obviously it's not feasible in every room, but a good rule of thumb is to position each speaker 1/4 to 1/3 of the wall width in from the wall. So if your wall is 18' wide, you'd want each speaker 4-6' from the side walls.

Hint: if you are hosting guests and have to tell them about a "policy," you're not being a good host. Doesn't matter if it involves shoes (on or off!), their expected contribution to the meal, how to sit on your furniture, or table etiquette.

They are the guests; the responsibility is yours to make them feel welcome. If you can't handle that, meet them at a restaurant.
