Lucifer - it is indeed. I love all of Stephenson's books, but those occupy a place in my heart close to Cryptonomicon. Strangely, I'm pretty sure Cynthetiq asked Supple Cow the same thing when she posted a picture taken in her room. Apparently those books have some followers on TFP.
JJ, I still don't know what those were for... But they were cool. I sat at my window take pictures as fast as my camera would allow me too.
Tech, I won't take it too personally, but my answer won't be helpful either. My apartment is part of my job - I'm a college residence hall director. In exchange for rent free living, I'm on call for emergencies 24/7. It's a good deal. They appraised my apartment at a little over $3,000/month a couple of years back (for tax purposes). The Upper West side is rapidly becoming really expensive - new construction + young professionals with stupid amounts of money. Needless to say I couldn't live here any other way.
