That sideboard isn't useful as a desk at all. My desk is in my living room and my computer monitor is the screen I watch movies on, but the monitor is on a desk-height surface so that it's useable.

We are planning on using a compostable diaper service, Earth Baby. It's a bit more expensive than traditional disposables, but a lot simpler than cloth.

I'd aim for the "reduce" part of the equation. Try not to buy food (or other goods) that come in packaging at all. Traditional chip bags cannot be recycled, so your only choice from a garbage generating perspective is to buy less chips. Same with frozen food, which alwas generates at least some nonrecycleable plastic.

Even thought we had to buy them ourselves, and they are in the basement three floors down a dirty spiral staircase, we have our own washer and dryer. Such a luxury. :)

It's also rent controlled and just a five minute walk from my commuter train.

Seriously, this is a badly put together list. The Air is the "ultraportable" of the apple lineup, not the MacBook, for starters.

I'd love a copy.

Living in San Francsico is my luxury. At $1400 for rent, it's also the only one.

Don't count on being there or being able to save anything. Therefore:

1) Buy a firesafe (they are less than $50) and store the important documents you don't carry around with you (like birth certificate and passport) in there.

2) Have a total, daily, offsite backup plan for your digital files.

3) Buy renter's insurance.

I voted "not" because making little pots from old newspaper with (*gasp*) just your hands is actually (*gasp*) quite easy.

Pots from old newspapers: Hot

Ditto Jeremy In VA about the Family of Four entry not even placing. Inconceivable!
