Is your house/apt/condo bigger, smaller, or roughly the same size as your parent(s)' at the same age?
Larger.
- Anne Bouey
It's exactly the same size. It's a row house on the same block.
- m9m, Crone of FriendFeed
waaaaaaaaaaaaaay smaller
- kendrak
Hahahahahahahahaha (maybe 1/8-1/6 the size of theirs?)
- Meg V. Meg
bigger.
- Jenica
The surface area is probably fairly close to the house my parents owned when they were my age, but their house had a basement, so there was more space. However, a few years after they were my age, they moved into a much larger house than we have now; and I can tell you with an almost absolute certainty that we will not be moving any time soon.
- DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE
Bigger. By my age, they'd moved to a better part of town and a smaller house. And this, probably our final house, is the largest we've ever owned.
- Walt Crawford

I live in a first-floor apartment of a two-family home... I don't know about my dad's apartment, but from what I've heard of my mom's apartment at my age, mine is bigger. She lived alone in a one bedroom & I'm sharing a three bedroom space with a full kitchen, living room, and dining area.
- Lola Bean (Penguin)
When my mom was 45 she lived in a 1bdr house that was bigger than the 2 bdr flat I live in now. When my dad was 45, he was driving cross country & mostly living in his truck's "condo".

The related question is do you live in the same type of area as you grew up? (Suburban/urban/rural/etc.)

Probably more than twice the size, and much more land. Several factors, but this area is less densely populated than where I grew up.

Less than half the size or more than twice the size, depending on which parent we are talking about. One owned an 8 room house with a finished basement, a garage, and big backyard... and the other lived in a mobile home, in which the largest room in it was about the size of my bathroom, and the bathroom in it was about the size of my daughter's closet.

- Mary Carmen
Much bigger. Slightly more rural.
- Amit Patel
We are currently living in a more rural area than my parents were when they were my age, but less rural than the area where they moved when they were a little older than I am now. They were in a suburban area when they were my age (I was about 4 years old at that point), but moved to a rural area with 10 acres of land when I was about 6. We live on about 1.5 acres now in a mostly rural area, but there aren't as many farms around us as there were when I was growing up.

I'm gonna post this to hopefully stop being upset: my roommate is getting married at the courthouse today and I can't go b/c they "don't really want anyone there." Except his friend that's officiating, and his friend that's taking photos, and his daughter. But not me. I'm just altering the blouse she wants to wear for it by 2pm. I'm near tears.
I totally respect whatever they want to do, really. It just makes me sad that she didn't think "I want T to be there." But oh well.

*hug* I say this in the hope it will make you less sad: Some folks just want it to be as private as possible, and I am certain it is not intended as a slight. Jed and I asked a stranger to officiate and a stranger to take pictures, simply because those were things that needed doing, but it was *our* moment (Im sure we would have brought kids if we'd had any) and we wanted it to be a moment just for us, with a more inclusive celebration later to include our loved ones.
- ωαřмaiden ❤Marrit Woman❤
thanks, warmaiden. I do totally get that it's their thing and they should do it how they choose. I know my emotional shit is mine and not hers... just a selfish reaction of feeling left out when it's not about me, nor should it be. I'll have a good cry, then get my head back on straight. I know it means a lot to her that I'm doing this blouse and that's cool. They're leaving town tonight and I'm taking care of the animals while they're gone, so I'll go over there tonight and hopefully get a photo with her.

It is totally understandable to be sad, and it's a shame they didnt just keep it to themselves so you wouldn't be hurt, that seems thoughtless of her to ask you to work on something for it and not invite you. Happy for your moment of grace, but sending you lifted-up thoughts and hugs.

That's hard. We didn't want anyone there, except for Wade, so we only told one friend, because we used her back porch and needed her witness signature. She was not one of my best friends, just someone I could trust to keep it quiet. It must be hard to keep something like that from your roommate, so I see both sides. I bet she loves you, T.

I'm using a ridiculously underpowered one at home (it was the free evaluation version Google handed out for beta testing) and I've really liked it for the most part. It has its quirks, but it does 90% of what I'd want it to do.

No, not that I know of - it is entirely browser-based. Most of the applications built for Chrome work just fine, and I've found thin replacements for those things if I've needed them, but I'm not using it for anything work/business related.
- Jennifer Dittrich
Chrome is like putting the Chrome browser in full screen mode. If you can do your thing using only Chrome apps, then you'll be fine. Otherwise, get a real OS on a real laptop.

I only use ChromeOS, at home and at work. For Photoshop like stuff, I use Pixlr.com. Adobe is definitely going to the cloud, and I admit I am not intimate with their cloud apps, but the writing is on the wall. Now that Spotify is in the cloud too, all I want is Fitbit syncing and Sonos support for Chrome.

I was totally thinking about building my next desktop, but now I'm thinking about all the times I've brought my dead Mac to the Apple Store and they've either fixed in in 30 minutes or just given me a new one free of charge. Like, they've literally given me two new computers. (Well, not literally for free. For the price of AppleCare. Still way cheaper than having to buy a new computer, though. Probably even cheaper than having to buy a new motherboard/CPU and/or GPU.)
- Victor Ganata
I can't remember a time when I've ever built myself a system to "save money." I build systems so that I can get the exact specs I want, I can upgrade easily, and I know what's going on in my system at all times. I don't give a crap about economic or business sense.
- Hookuh Tinypants
that's another good reason!
- Hieronymous Boosh
All PC vendors allow you to customize your components though (admittedly, though, often with very severe limits). Knowing my luck with off-the-shelf parts, I just might need that support. Although I think avoiding crapware is a pretty good reason not to go with a PC vendor.
- Victor Ganata
I think you'll always have people who will want that degree of customizability, because they have a very specific task, or set of tasks, that they'd like to have fine control over. I discovered that I'm not that person the last time I built a machine, but I'm also not demanding a lot of my machines.

Oh PC vendors don't tend to carry the hardware I have preferences for. :) My tastes run much richer. And faster.

The one case I can see would be building a Hack Pro. Don't see putting out 3 grand plus for a machine that hasn't been updated in several years. But in fact, I'm all talk - my next machine will be a standard-issue MBP plus a 27-inch external display, when I turn in this iMac in June. Fact is, I not only don't build machines, I don't even buy them - I'm on a long-term rental where I get a new machine every two years.

I think one of my goals this weekend is to do seasonal clothing switch. Of course, it is 49 degrees here at Blackacre right now...
I feel ya - it's 54 here and I've put away most of my sweaters and gotten out my t-shirts for the year, but I'm keeping some heavier clothing handy. This spring sucks.
- WebGoddess
I hauled out my storage containers of spring summer clothes about 2 months ago. The idea then was to put them into my dresser drawers, and put the heavier winter clothes into the containers for storage. And then it went from the 50's, 60's and 70's back to the 10's, 20's and 30's. We've hit the 80's and brushed up against the 90's a time or two, but we're back in the 30's and 40's right now. I have enough trouble getting my drawers in order. This weather is just askin' for drawer chaos!

My friend is talking me into getting a MBP then installing Windows on it. I'm not totally hating the idea. Hrmm...

If you do, you might want to wait a few months, a refresh is eminent.
- Gimminy
Confirmed or rumors? Because I don't need the latest and greatest if what's out now can do the job. But I can wait a few months.

All but confirmed, rumors are component supplies for current releases are dwindling, and they tend to do their revamps on the laptops May-July. Expectations are the update will be announced during WWDC in the middle of next month. http://www.macrumors.com/2013... Also see: http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/

Most likely it will just get you a slight processor upgrade.

How about a MBA? Refresh due in another few weeks possibly.

I have an old MBP with the Core Duo 2 and it's a pretty solid Windows 7 machine :D I imagine the i5 or even i3 would run Win 7 or 8 pretty well. Pricey, though.
- Victor Ganata
close enough to being confirmed that I'd wait............. although I'd say skip the Air and get a Carbon Touch :)
- Jeff (Team マクダジ )
Yeah, the Air might be a better option. Much more portable.

The only thing the MBA lacks that makes it inferior, to me, is no ethernet port. But, there's a thunderbolt>ethernet dongle.
- Arlan K.
No ethernet port? Interesting... Now I have a reason to root my phone to enable hotspotting.

Why install Winderz on it? For full-time or just browser testing?
- Mary B: #TeamMonique
Two words: Parallels Desktop.
- Akiva
I'm a PC. I've been using Windows since Win95. Akiva, hrmm... I'm not totally hating that idea either.

Also, Z, how much Creative Suite do you do? Not sure I wanna push pixels on an Air cuz Photoshop files versus Air's rather minimal internal storage. Course, my plan in June -after WWDC - is to still keep creative work on externals. I haz five drives on the shelf - one is Time Machine backup now, but imma start backing up to another and then take one to the safe-deposit box every week. #beensayingthatformonths
- Mary B: #TeamMonique
There's no reason not to really as long as you have at least 8 gigs of RAM. Best of both worlds.
- Akiva
Agree with Parallels. It only upgrades half as often as most WordPress plugins. And it's not glacial. The mention of it is giving me PTSD, but I think that's more that I was running this wretchedly overpriced cad package called 20/20 in it. 20/20 is awful.
- Mary B: #TeamMonique
I have ascertained that a 13" Retina Pro will address 16 gigs of RAM. (Minimum for me, with the Final Cut Pro habit.)
- Mary B: #TeamMonique
You do know you can get MBA's with 512GB of SSD, right?

I'm looking for a more portable laptop because my current one is a beast with a 17" monitor, a trackpad, and a touchpad. It's not exactly backpack friendly.

RT @emasters: From my blog: And Who Says Law Students Wouldn’t Benefit From More Tech Training? | <CONTENT /> v.5 http://elide.us/1Z
I always figured there was a seminar in law school titled, "Leave your tech knowledge at the door." My BFF is 2-0 before the Supreme Court but hyperventilates if she sees an Ethernet cable.

Granted, when she was in law school there was no tech. But her kids all grew up with it and had to do ppts in grammar school.

There is a 70% chance Dick and I will be spending ~2 years in Palmdale, CA starting late August. Though I prolly will stay back until Sept 10or so.

If you do, bring lots and lots of sunscreen. It's hot up in that desert.

True, but just know it's really far from the middle of LA (about 70 miles). In traffic, it can take 2 hours just one way.
- Anika
I figured it'd be something like that. Still beats a 4-hour flight and hundreds of dollars. Aaand it may not happen.

Hey, that's only 1.5 hrs from me!! Cool.

Dick has one more guy to talk to before he decides about the job. Then we have to decide how we feel about leaving not-yet-18-yo community-college frosh alone in $500k bachelor pad, or finding him a slightly older housemate.
- Mary B: #TeamMonique
Yeah, I was wondering about your son. What about bringing him along?
- Anika
He's accepted to community college -heh, heh. In-area tuition is $900/year; he'd be out-of-state in CA, wouldn't he?
- Mary B: #TeamMonique
Given his grades the last four years, we're not inclined to keep paying the kind of money we've been putting out.
- Mary B: #TeamMonique
He'd like to go to real school in CA, but he'd have to get straight As in community college and have his hs transcript declared irrelevant I think. Unless he could trade acceptance at U Pacific for nannying services at the Nyce house. ;-)
- Mary B: #TeamMonique
Yeah, that sounds like a headache. Even if he went to a CC here, he doesn't have the required one year of established residency, so even that will be $$$$.
