I love my Sonos.

Readers should be aware that you DON'T have to use Sonos' speakers -- you can use anything with the right input, from little desktop jobs to big B&W towers. It fits seamlessly into pretty much any good existing audio setup.

Are you sure this is still around? The underwater rooms don't seem to be shown on the hotel website.

Maybe I am dense, but however cool these are, where is the joke?

I propose a ban on the word "classy."

I looked at buying this particular church (yes, because I'm evil and would want it for a private residence), but unfortunately it has been all but gutted of all the original details that would have made me want it.

No. It will DEpreciate.

Why would anyone pay more for your used licensed replica Saarinen Womb Chair than they would pay for a new licensed replica? That makes zero sense.

This makes NO SENSE AT ALL.

To figure out how much you can afford, look at how much you spend on other, non-housing costs, and how much you want to save. See what's left over. That's what you can afford to spend on housing (or on something else).

For many people, that might be 25% of your income. But if you are making much less than average, you might have to spend the majority of your income on housing. If you make much more, you might spend only a very small percentage of your income and it might be fiscally ridiculous for you to spend a full 25% on it.

Try reading on your iPad during a long boring meeting. You can't do it.

The Kindle App for Blackberry is a lifesaver. :)

Puff talcum powder in the air.

It screws with their sonar, so they drop and you can easily collect them and take them outside without harming them.
