There's no reason to pay $400. You can buy nearly any 3.5" internal hard drive and replace it yourself. Getting inside the iMac is not the easiest, but its definitely doable on your own. Here are instructions: http://www.ifixit.com/Device/iMac_Intel…
I recommend considering an "accent wall." Use white or another muted/subtle color on most walls, but then use a bold color on just one wall. I did that in a previous apartment and it looked great. I have some photos on Flickr:

I have a pair of the Sony MDR V6 at work, which I think are the slightly cheaper "consumer" model of the 7506's. I mention it because the padding got torn up and I replaced it with these velour pads, and they're more comfortable than the original vi…
Yeah. I was up and in the shower before most of you West Coasters even went to bed.
I didn't accomplish as much as I would have liked. I did some homework and read a few chapters of "Snow Crash" (I'm re-reading it since I haven't in a few years).
I woke up at 3:30 a.m. today. Not tired enough to go back to sleep, so I got up, took a shower and am now making coffee and breakfast. I have so much time before I need to go to work!
I'm going to visit (and camp in) the only place in the world where alligators and crocodiles coexist: the Everglades.

I bought a used one and it's been good for three years and counting. I've changed my oil and done some very light electrical work, but for anything more serious (eg. carb cleaning) I bring it in to the shop.
I would look for something in the 500-75…
Set your clock forward an hour. Then you'll wake up at seven.
Seriously, I didn't change my alarm clock last weekend. The alarm goes off, I look at the time and it says 5:30 a.m. I hit snooze a couple of times, like normal, and then get up. By the …
Lolo, it took me a while to "get it", too. I had to let go of all of my Scrabble/Boggle/othe word-game ideas: It's not about the words, it's about the board.
I vote yes in the fall, when we get an extra hour of sleep/party time, but no in the spring where we lose an hour. Can't we just keep giving ourselves extra hours? Sure, pretty soon we'll be nocturnal, but it we'll back to normal every 12 years (ass…
I heard a saying the other day that Harleys are machines that convert gas into noise. (full disclosure: I have a motorcycle and I enjoy riding it. It's not a Harley, though, and not all that loud, IMO)
in my iPhoto, there's a sidebar on the left that lists all of my albums, etc. Your screenshot looks like mine when the "last import" album is selected. I would look under the "view" "events" and "window" menus to see if there's a "Show sidebar" opti…
I just finished a bottle of Bell's Oberon while watching "Newsroom." This was just after making some fried rice with peppers and onions for dinner (and lunch tomorrow, and at least one more meal after that - leftovers rule!).
Yes! Spiked Arnold Palmer's are awesome.
It feels like a classic Southern summer cocktail -- because of the sweet tea, I guess -- but Arnold Palmer is from Pennsylvania.
(Also, a spiked Arnold Palmer is apparently called a John Daly [source])
