iPod speakers for Eggy's room?

Your wish is granted... but I didn't really realize it was on our Eggy budget - I knew this was Lisa's "last" birthday as a wife before she became a mom.  From that point on, we have pretty much assumed our gifts for each other will be toned down for a while... so I wanted this one to be something for HER - Lisa loves music so much (as you can tell by her post) and I know she wants to pass along that love for music to Eggy.

sonos s5 - coolest audio system ever!

I got the new Sonos S5 system - so I'm a bit of a gadget geek, so I'd heard of the system and how audiophiles go gaga over it, but even I didn't realize how cool it was.  Ten minutes out of the box, I had Pandora streaming Decembrists for her, and was setting up NPR and ESPN Talk Radio stations.  Not to mention Lisa's entire inventory of (mostly legally acquired) music.

The system is so cool - we can control it from either of our laptops or iPhones to play different music in different rooms.  So, Lisa can have Pandora playing in the living room, while I enjoy Mike & Mike in the Morning in the bedroom.  Who knows what we'll be streaming for eggy - but I know the sound fidelity will be great!

The whole "networked" home is becoming more and more a reality for us - we've got a wireless Networked Attached Storage (2 terabytes!) which basically is our media server for music & pictures, we stream high def video thru Netflix via Roku box, have a wireless Brother printer, and now Sonos!  I hope they don't determine all these wireless devices don't cause some bad ailment someday!

  6. Fantastic blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you propose starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m completely overwhelmed .. Any suggestions? Many thanks! speakers under 1000
