We've been looking at houses for a while now, and i think this is the one we're going to try to make an offer on. We've got no real reason to share this with the shack, but we're excited, so why not.

This is probably old news to everyone but I found this list of changes of the biggest changes from the Beta to the RC, for those of us yet to switch over.
http://blogs.msdn.com/e7/archive/2009/03/13/a-few-more-changes-from-beta-to-rc.aspx
I think the biggest thing for me, and I know for a few other Shackers, is this:
10. Right-click in Windows Explorer
For RC we’ve changed the behavior when right-clicking items in the view to address concerns customers were reporting with the Beta. We heard feedback that it was too hard to find space and get to the view’s background context menu for items such as New and Paste. Previously if one right-clicked over any portion of an item she would get the item’s context menu. We now show the view’s context menu when one clicks on any large white space, including the space between a files name and its properties.

So JJ Abrams was involved in both (Lost - Creator, Star Trek - Director), and I wonder if the finale tonight + Season 6 won't have some aspects of Star Trek in it.
In Star Trek, Spock from the alternate future goes back in time and exists in a future that will be nothing like what he lived through originally. If this is a concept that Abrams was involved in (he is not credited as a writer on Star Trek), then that means that it's possible that all the Lost people in the 70's could conceivably change the future and yet still exist as themselves in that future.
Lost has continually gone back to this idea that you can't change the future, almost so much that it has become conspicuous like a parent continuing to deny that Santa Claus isn't real. I think something will be changed, enough that it blows your mind but not so much that it invalidates the last 5 seasons of TV shows.
Predictions for Lost tonight:
Kate tells Jack that she's pregnant, to stop Jack from setting off the bomb and rewriting everything. Kate also tells Sawyer and Juliet that she's pregnant to calm Juliet's fears over Kate trying to steal Sawyer (an irrational fear if you ask me, Juliet > Kate). Richard Alpert in the past kills Sayid as payback for Sayid killing the guy that was going to shoot Kate. When Richard Alpert says "I watched them all die" re: the 815'ers in the Dharma yearbook photo, he was talking about them being present at the Swan when the incident occurred. They all get zapped back to the future in the explosion/event and Alpert assumes that they were killed / disintegrated in the blast. Locke does his Moses act and brings his people to the promised land, only to find that Jacob isn't in charge anymore, Christian (Jack's dad) is, via some spiritual-level takeover of the island. We will see Claire in this episode, because dammit if she can't fly from LA to Hawaii for 5 minutes of the season finale.
Also let me re-post this, because the co-workers have gotten a monster kick out of it:

ex: Pink Floyd's Brain Damage/Eclipse, Judas Priest's The Hellion/Electric Eye
What's the best method for combining these?
Is there a way I can do it from the MP3s w/o it sounding like shit?
Or do I need to get ahold of the CDs and rip them myself to lossless and then combine the WAVs in Audacity or something?
