    My favorite dance clubs are the kinds with multiple rooms or floors that play different types of music in each section. That way, I'm never bored, always have a multiple options to choose from, and all my friends can find a room that they like. Have you ever imagined bringing that into your own home? I found a company called Sonos which makes wireless audio receivers and speakers that work in your home. Start out with the Sonos ZonePlayer, plug in your router and favorite speakers, and you're ready to go. With this system, you can listen music from your own iTunes library or listen to digital radio stations like Sirius and Pandora. Add ZonePlayers in other rooms and you can have your own in-house dance club. Sing along with Aretha Franklin and other classics in your bathroom and rock out to Gwen Stefani and Rihanna in your kitchen! Best of all, you can control everything with their Sonos controller, your computer, or your iPhone!


    Price: $499

    Hot In The Hive: Retro-Style Internet Phone

    Do you have a gift for gab and talk on the phone almost constantly? Do you have a special place in your heart for all things obsolete and/or retro? Do you have a laptop that's almost as old as you are? If you answered "yes" to any or all of these questions, I may have the perfect vintage gadget for you! Urban Outfitters' Internet Phone (no, not that kind of iPhone) is about as unnecessary as laptop accessories get... that is, unless your computer doesn't have a built-in mic and speakers like most are made with nowadays. In that case, it's totally useful for finally carrying out successful Skype conversations and iChat video discussions (that's only assuming you've equipped your ancient computer with an external webcam) via a plug-in phone receiver made just for your computer. Otherwise, the retro-looking cyber accessory is still pretty covetable, for the sake of cuteness alone... and I guess it could also help keep the receiving end of your e-conversations on the down-low from snooping roommates. So in conclusion, it may not be the most mandatory addition to your shopping list, but the fun things never are, are they?


    Price: $15

    Spring cleaning started a little later than usual for me this year (I know, its August) and as I waded through the dust bunnies, it occurred to me that most of what needed to go were my ancient fashion mags. I am generally an unapologetic fashion publication addict, but in the battle of Paper vs. Sanity, there was no contest - I had to find my fix elsewhere. Luckily there are several FREE fashion publications on the Internet that have all the bells and whistles of their paper brothers and sisters, but take up no space - and cost nada! Though nothing can replace the feel of a glorious glossy in your hands, it's hard to ignore the many benefits of the environmentally friendly - and increasingly user-friendly - webzine. So instead of buying all the new fall fashion issues of the glossies, why not instead check out my SLIDESHOW of my fave FREE fashion guides on the web, and start your virtual flipping now!
