Comments on: Areas of Growth/Opportunity for 2007 http://www.erica.biz/2007/areas-of-growthopportunity-for-2007/ Erica Douglass, "temporarily retired" after selling a successful business at age 26, writes thought-provoking blog entries challenging you to change your life and daring you to become more successful.

What surprised me is how much better the picture is, even on regular channels: I'd assumed that coming over digital cable (satellite, now) at regular TV resolution would mean the picture was much the same anyway - but it's a *lot* better on the LCD. I could do with some furniture upgrades, too, plus more money and starting a proper blog of my own. It seems that last item will have to wait until after some server changes, though: I'm having problems with one of my current two servers, so anyone with helpful ideas or recommendations, please post them in the thread my name is linked to! (Rough plan: two servers, replicated MySQL between them holding the posts. Email may be trickier though...)

Cost: $50.00, and an hour or less for two people to put the thing together (if one of them knows how to use a hammer and screwdriver). Which makes it roughly an order of magnitude less than Crate and Barrel.
