I think it's sweet you're thinking of it early. Way to be a good girlfriend! And soniaz is right on the mark.

It's cool, but I place it in the same category as the Kindle and Nook... cool, but not really for me.

I'm kind of bummed they didn't announce an Arrandale MacBook Pro :/

Hah. That's pretty cool.

Google says it's ~$35.

I wonder if they ship internationally?

Pretty cool. Would be a nice addition to a room where you kind of want a TV, but want something that looks nice.

Hah, I came into say the same thing Miss Upsetter.

If you're still using non rechargable batteries, swapping them into other electronics may be less wastefull, but you're still being wasteful. Just buy some decent NiCd rechargables! They pay for themselves quickly.

Kudos to the owners for being so concious of the land and space. That's an unfortunate rareity when it comes to view property in Seattle, especially Mercer Island. Typically you instead see a three story monstrosity of a box. Instead here is something original and beautiful. Good job!

Protip, if you look around, and/or download the demo and are patient, they semi often have sales of 20% off. One just ended after new years, but I had seen them a few times before then.

It's a pretty good program... the windows version chugs a bit imo, but then again, that could be iTunes.

I have a tablet on my desk at work (in addition to a desktop) and I've been testing all of the latest tablet releases from Dell, Lenovo, Motion, Fujistu and HP.

They definitely have applications in certain areas of business, especially medicine, but I think they'll be too expensive for at least a few more years for most people to justify one for personal use. Then again, they may just STAY expensive since I know the engineering behind the hinges is pretty complicated and expensive.

Actually, I'm sure that you could have used RDP/VPN to securely connect to your mother's computer remotely and help her with the problem.

I think what I like the most about this house is the "comfort" part you mention. I feel like this is the kind of place I'd totally want to hang out.

And thanks for the links to those resources, I live in Seattle too (West) and will have to check them out!

I suppose it'll be great for all of those time you're carrying your PS3 around and you accidently drop it?

Word of warning, some of the couches are so vintage that they have bad smelling foam in the cushions.

I was there for Halloween and sat down on a couch and couldn't figure out where the horrible smell was coming from, until I got up and sat down again.

Oh, and another funny point... this place used to be called the Viceroy and was essentially the same... I think it just had different couches and no boars head.

Fun is all about little touches that amuse you, your family and others.

I bought the vinyl version of this guy http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/droolicious/2009/03/mustache_labbit_plush.jpg years ago and hide him such that you only occasionally see him watching you from the dark. :)

I think the Luna chair looks like a good bad assuming it isn't super expensive. I'll be checking that one out since I love lounge chairs and don't yet have the scratch to buy my ultimate, the Eames lounge.
