This is a little bit off topic but I wanted to say thanks for all the recent photography articles. It's actually managed to bring me back to your site. I was checkin in here about once a week but I am back to checking daily. Keep up the good work.

See what happens Unplggd/Apartment Therapy when we get even the smallest amount of attention? Just imagine what would happen if there was a Phoenix AT.

Or if you live in Phoenix, move it outside during the winter for no more than two hours.

I live in Phoenix, AZ. It was 99 degrees outside at 11 o'clock last night. I run fans, ceiling fans, the AC, and take around 4 cool showers a day.

But at least it's a dry heat.

The best solution I have found was to cut the "L" portion off of an allen wrench and and stick it in the drill just as you would a regular bit. When I was in high school I worked for one of those raw unfinished wood furniture stores where we essentially saw no customers and just assembled furniture all day. This is what we used more than anything else.

So while we are talking about it here are some other options that will work a little better.

Media Center Master http://www.mediacentermaster.com/
a paid extension of Windows Media Center which will track and automatically download tv torrents.

TED (Torrent Episode Downloader) http://www.ted.nu/
Another tv torrent downloader which has not really been updated much lately but still good.

TV Torrents is an RSS feed for TV shows.

I also find it is handy to go to each of the individual sites of the networks for streaming shows.

Another very simple solution is to install a TvTuner card to your PC. They are pretty cheap and will allow you to use your PC as a DVR.

So here would be my solution. A small htpc mounted to easel and cut the cable cord all together. Stream everything from the media server that sits hidden away. One cord from the small htpc to the tv and one cord for power. You could also mount a sound bar under the TV so it doesn't sound like crap.

I like the idea of wheeling that tv around. wanna sit on the patio and watch a game? roll the tv outside. Wanna watch a movie in the pool? Roll it outside. Wanna watch a tv show in the bat tub? Roll it to the bathroom. Wanna have to Basketball games on at the same time? Roll it next to the living room tv.

I like options.

Thank you for the recent PC love Unplggd. I will continue clicking PC related posts.

A car can be masculine. A coat can be masculine. Even a wine can be masculine. Why is it so off limits for a piece of furniture to be masculine?

I happen to think the Magister sofa is both attractive and masculine. It has clean bold lines. This is traditionally referred to as masculine. There is no need to be offended by whether or not it,or any other of the sofa's are masculine.

If the post was entitled Feminine Day Beds and there was a bed with soft flowing lines and sheers hanging from a huge canopy would you be offended?

People group things into categories naturally. It is human nature and basic psychology. Accept it and move on.

the only way this desk is even somewhat doable for me is if there is glass over part of it for the occasional hand rendering, writing notes, or, god forbid, hand writing notes.
