24 Rooms in 344sq Feet 178
This is a little unusual for a Slashdot story, but you've got to respect the hacker ethos that makes something like this possible. Gary Chang modified his 344 sq foot apartment with a system of sliding panels to transform it into
24 room combinations. I'm not so excited about the tinted windows, but the functionality is sweet.

I used to think so. I'm an incredibly hard core geek. A couple of years ago I took the Leatherman off my belt and put it in my pocket, I took the mobile phone out of the belt case and put it in the leg pocket of my carpenter pants (and moved to carpenters exclusively). Now I'm looking around my apartment. I'm getting rid of most of the media, except for a few things like the LOTR boxes that look like books and a couple of things like it. I'm leaving the framed picture of Einstein sticking out his tongue, the framed "Homer Simpson Scream" picture, I'm leaving my B9 Robot, my Slinky and my Cylon on the shelf, but I'm hiding most of my media. I was going to hide my computers, I was going to take an old console stereo and set it up so that there were new modern speakers where the original speaker went, I was going to have the LCD come out from where the turn table used to be and I was going to have the drives accessible where the TV doors used to be but I realised I didn't actually have the time to undertake the project, though I would still love to do it.
I guess as I reach my mid 30's I'm learning to dial it back a couple of notches.
