This is a first draft of an idea I had in the shower this morning.

Email courses (aka sequences of email autoresponders) can be trivially modeled as finite state machines. Each state is the last email they were sent (or queued to receive) and each transition queues an email to be sent.

This example implementation builds on top of AASM for the state machine and ActsAsTaggableOn to keep track of states. In a production-ready implementation, likely the state machine implementation would be wrapped in a DSL that streamlines the process a little more.

Cable management in the living room

• 3M Command Adhesive large cable hooks http://tinyurl.com/blf3tj
• normal power strip instead of squid
• velcro cable ties http://tinyurl.com/bsnxfl

Attach two cable hooks to the back of each table leg. Run all cables through these, signal on one side and power on the other.

Get an end table for next to the couch and give it the same treatment as the table, except for the cable modem, router, mac and drive. Get a UPS for the mac so it doesn't keep dying in the middle of the day.
