If you strap it to your cat to make it a self-mobile unit, is it iPurrActive?

Love the Atari/Asteroids art!

Amazing as always, and I love the attention to detail... but... it all comes off a bit stiff and corporate. And some of the few organic, human touches such as the zebra print chair seem to speak to a late realization that humans would be living here.

The San Fran house they built is more my cup of tea. Much more warmth. As a designer myself, I feel that sometimes working with constraints, such as those that came with the San Fran house really bring out the creative, problem solving impulses much more readily... whereas total freedom can be cloying.

Great idea... I think it would also be wise to include information on how effective a given bulb is for dimming applications. Luckily when I was redoing the lighting for the home theater I went with the electrician to Home Depot. He had to warn off no less than 3 couples that were going with the compact fluorescents in dimmed environments because the ramping is terrible.

I'm always slightly ashamed to voice my birthday wishes to the SO when she asks because they are almost always expensive tech of some sort. I would be happy with a gift card to Amazon or Apple, but that is apparently not weighty enough a gift for her.

Unless you fall into the category of folks that need to have the latest greatest on a seasonal basis, I say go big for those big purchases! My reasons are not always the most common since I work from home and can get more out of a faster computer... but even for computer purchases that are not work related such as a kitchen PC or HTPC, I find that they can fulfill a useful role for much longer as the tasks they are asked to do become more and more laborious as apps, plugins (Flash, I am looking at you) and growing media collections use more RAM, more drive space, more CPU cycles, more cores, and a greater proportion of the video processing power.

And as they eventually move on and make room for new computers, I've found that I've easily grown into that extra speed or storage that may have seemed excessive at one point and now makes for a very passable email server, or media server, backup computer, or travel laptop... And the cost to upgrade those older computers is usually very very low as the parts that may have been the height of technology in their prime has fallen considerably.

Probably the biggest thing that I could see upsetting this trend is cloud storage. But that is likely to only change your initial configuration for drive space...

That is awesome... love the contrast in textures and tech.

Stunning. Where did the wall panels come from?
