Try looking beyond an electronics retailer...... I'm sure some furniture companies make some solid commercial grade ones. If we can mount 50" TV's on arms, I'm sure there's something that can mount your monitors.

There was a nod to eye height and a monitor riser, however I think a solid clamp monitor arm (single or dual depending) is worth it's weight in gold. The footprint of your monitor/stand becomes non-existent, freeing up space for a clean look or more clutter, your choice.

I try to avoid unnecessary pills, but to each their own if it works.

You forgot one........ if your significantly balding, please stop trying to hide it and just go really short or shaved bald.

I'd lengthen this to a week. It's too often that you accomplish what you have to in a day due to commitments and events out of your control, especially when you have children. Now one could answer that successfully raising your kid(s) matters every day, so being a good parent was good enough even though you would…

Loved the article, but your math on your daughter has an extra half in it. My wife and I always joke that we lament we're both white, both of us wanted to have some kind of mixed race baby and add some more culture to our family. Having a godfather who is black married to a white woman as a kid got the point across at…

Yes. As an example if asked what value do you bring, I could say "My current boss is not a numbers guy, I enable him to better understand the financial material presented to him by translating it into a narrative, help him get to the heart of what the numbers are saying" (I'm a business director working for an…

This is really good advice, but I do it in a slightly different way. I use the term "enabler". Help just seems a little weak and watered down.

I don't do podcasts or audiobooks, mostly because you have to plan ahead if you're in an internet dead zone..... but now can only commute to work listening to NPR! This also helps turn small talk into real conversations.

I use Gb ethernet for everything...... all files are h.264 made with handbrake, before originally putting in itunes I use subler so all meta data and artwork is there. NAS is 413j, pc is 3770K. Do So do you run the plex service on your NAS or run it on your PC with the library just on the NAS? I've tried both, but…

I have Gb Ethernet connecting everything as well.

I've let it analyze...... There's got to be something like that though that's missing.

You could be right, but I have a setup that works, just not all the flexibility and features I want and could get with Plex.

Was it in an urban setting?

I'm still not sold on Plex even though I envy it's feature set. Every time I try it, it's just choppy as hell and unwatchable. I've used a synology NAS (a rather high end one), a mac mini, and a high end ivy bridge PC as servers. Even on the server itself it craps out. Played with all settings, I've used a roku 3 and…

Before you rule out wired as "not an option" look to your phone lines. I was able to use existing low voltage receptacles and now have a wired connection between my office, basement utility room (Modem, router, NAS), and entertainment center.

If you happen to notice any of these things going on, my recommendation is go less corporate. A non-profit, ngo, or the like will employ less of these tactics. I can't say that they won't do any of them, but they are much more interested in the real meat of your resume and how you will fit in with them. A capable…

Why do people only include the vanilla when it's on french toast? Throw it in without the bread in omelets and scrambled eggs........ cinnamon is a bonus!

I would take it a step further and say that if an "employer" has religious, or other beliefs that they should make them clear to their employees from the get go.

I'm also not talking about very late hours, it's about 8:30 and she'll pass out. If she needs less volume she'll move to the bed, but most often she likes to go to bed together, so I wake her up at around 10:30 to go to bed. A lot of nights the TV isn't even on and I'm just doing stuff like work e-mail, so there isn't…
