QotD: Luxury Wish List

If money were no object, which five luxury items would you rush right out and buy?
Submitted by lorilyn.

I'll assume "money were no object" means infinite amount of money. Then I'll just have to buy out the McLaren F1 team. Mind you, I don't want to manage the whole F1 team and its complex operation. I just want to own the team so I can have trackside access and inside information on what's going on.

The other 4 items are just things that keep me occupy when I am not traveling between races or not attending test sessions, so really are of no consequences.

UMPC or Apple Sub-notebook?

Data Evolution’s Cathena CX UMPC

Nice looking machine (via Engadget). If the rumoured sub-notebook from Apple is really
delayed until 2007/8 then this may be my next portable machine.

Sustainable Design

David and I were IMing this afternoon and during our discussion, he mentioned to me that there are supplimentary podcasts for the design: e² on iTunes! One of the thing that caught my eyes as I browse through the design: e² web site is this bit:

More than 23 billion square feet of residential floor space was built in China from 1997 to 2005. That's three times the total amount of office space in the entire United States.

Looked at another way, China will have built the equivalent of 21 Manhattan in eight year.

Is this sustainable?
