Cable management in the living room

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.
