To some people (women and hippies), it's VERY important to appear like you don't use the same things as other people.

For women, it's just in their nature to rank aesthetics over utility, which is odd considering they typically have an opposite view towards relationships.

For hippie assholes, it's all about pretending to be superior to the "less enlightened" people. I mean, what better way to prove you're superior than making people think you don't watch TV?

Anyway, here's an article put together by an asshole (they think #12 is genius...) that actually does have a few good ideas.

I don't recommend putting your routers in a box though.

#5: Not bad.

#3 is just pathetic.

#9: I'm unsure about this. It seems interesting, but I'm probably missing a drawback.

Those who think #12 is a good idea should be legally declared a dumb-ass. "Hey, is that 18th century original Impressionist painting pissing off your football buddies? Mount your TV on a swivel arm so you can put it right in front of that blotchy artwork, probably done by a nearsighted alcoholic to pay his rent."

Yeah, I thought 9 was pretty awesome. Surprised this isn't a standard in homes.

However, it would negate carpeting. Also, perhaps the stairs get too weak for the moving of furniture?

I liked the wire management ideas. Too bad I designed my media room to hide most of the wires.

I keep wanting to do #6, but am too lazy.

#5 is just funny.

#9 should be standard. We have wood stairs anyway.

#10 - Well, at least that supports the router industry.

12/13 are retarded.

17 - Just kill the cat.

18 - some people in our neighborhood use those, they look completely and utterly fake.
It's not me, it's someone else.

Yeah, the drawback is that you need to rebuild your entire fucking staircase, which aint easy.

I'd rather turn my router into the inner keep component of some bad-ass castle/fortress 3-D model. Fly the standard from the antenna.
