Shopping for furniture and appliances is more painful than it looks.  I spent most of today running around between different stores, comparing prices, dimensions, and probability of stuff matching correctly.  It became easier after I borrowed a sample of my wood floor from the sales office.  Why didn't I think of that sooner?

Anyway, it was a pretty productive day.  I now (well, will) have a nice dining set, sofa, and beds.  Tomorrow I look for kitchen appliances and other stuff for the bedrooms.

After that, I need to start looking for entertainment center components.  I'm thinking of attaching my Mac Mini to whatever kind of HDTV I get and surround sound system.  I took a trip through Best Buy and Sears, but nobody seems to carry HDTVs capable of 1080p, the best I could find were ones that support 720p.  I guess that's fine, for now.  I doubt the Radeon 9600 in the Mac would perform well at 1920x1080, anyway.  So much for high-res Quake III ...
