Modern Family Room
This family room proves that high style and high tech can peacefully coexist in even the most sophisticated of interiors. Designed by Rob Turner at CRT Studio, the bamboo cabinet floats on the architectural stone wall. Soft backlighting around the cabinet provides soft illumination while watching TV in the dark.
Sonos
We just received our first Sonos music player. WOW! This is a great music player that allows streaming access to any MP3 files on your computer (or network). Even more fun, though, is its ability to play practically any Internet music source including: last.fm, pandora, Rhapsody, Internet radio, Sirius, Napster. WOW, again! We've been playing with this unit for a few days and love it. I especially love the remote: I am using my iPhone to control the player. It provides real-time feedback of the artist, album, volume level, etc. Very cool!

Best Concert Video (Ever)
The Police Certifiable may be the best DVD concert ever. Forgetting the performances (which are great), the audio and video quality are top rate. Also great is the camera work; unlike many concerts, the cinematography is smooth and consistent. There are none of the fast cuts or jumpy camera work that plague many other concert performances. All in all a 10 for performance, audio, video and watchability.
