I have an Aeron chair at work and would not change it. The confort is not alway visible at first. But you're simply better in the long run when you sit all day in this chair. Your posture is better. If like me, you're seated more than 6 hours a day, that makes 1500 hours a year seated. I don't think the 900$ I payed for mine is overated. And they are guaranteed 7 years. Mine broke (I'm heavy) and they did repair it within a week, all shipping included. That's good service.

I have the Dr Dre Studio, active noise-cancelling headphones. I love the sound and the noise-cancelling is great. A big point for active is the fact that you need a lower sound level to hear correctly, nicer for your ears.
But the Dr Dre Studio could be sturdier. Their plastic casing make them fragile. Don't drop them or they could be broken forever. I had them replace under warranty because they broke for no reason. A nice touch is the iPhone microphone. I would opt for the all aluminum Studio Pro, but it's quite expensive.

I just installed a new electrolux electric oven and induction cooktop and could'nt be happier. The induction is just great, it's very fast and precise. I had to forgot some of my cookware, but it's worth it.

Personally, I can't keep up with all the new things that come in, so it's very rare that I go back to old magazine. The same with books.
This is what I'm trying to do:
Throw, give, recycle, whatever, everything that is more than two-year old. Take the habit to clip interesting article as soon as you see them (or mark them with a post-it for a future session of clipping). Mark read magazine so you don't go back to them thinking otherwise.
