I don't even like a background image on my desktop. Just a blank blue colour and a few key icons for programs and shortcuts to data.

I don't think "3d" will work until you can actually change your focus to different depths, just like in the real world.

You can find them, but they're expensive and harder and harder to find.

It was 50/50 (as any good party is!) - all friends or couples so no hookups out of the ordinary.

Work as far away as you can from the kitchen! When you do eat, don't turn on the TV. There's always an episode of Star Trek or Seinfeld that while stop you for an hour (or more)
Comment Board game night (Score 3, Interesting) 155
I just hosted a board game night for a a bunch of 20-30 somethings - it was a huge hit! I started each game off with giving players more than the standard loot, to get it going faster, and had an end after 1.5hrs so that they could all get 3 different games in in one night. We played, Masterpiece, Movie Maker, King Oil (all with 4 people) and then had a couple 2 person games for people who showed up late: Xomax and Polarity. We're looking forward to doing it again.

Submission + - The Unusual Physics of Floating Pyramids (sciencemag.org) 1
sciencehabit writes: Think that floating pyramids are more metaphysics than physics? Think again. Results just in from an experiment that levitated open-bottomed paper pyramids on gusts of air reveal a curious phenomenon: When it comes to drifting through the air, top-heavy designs are more stable than bottom-heavy ones. The finding may lead to robots that fly not like insects or birds but like jellyfish.
