High Life (not the beer)
Looking for a new home? A condo on the 90th floor of the Trump World Tower is only $17 Million. Approximately ~~one square mile~~ one mile worth of square feet (5,472 or so), AND maids quarters!

Down on the lowly 20th floor, a studio unit about 80 square feet larger than mine is only $600,000.

Project and Thought Management and Collaboration
Glancing through MacCentral, I came across iStorm - a LAN based document collaboration tool for Mac OS X. For $20 two people can collaborate, chat, share, etc. Site licenses for more concurrent users are also available.

iStorm uses Rendezvous for easy document sharing on a LAN, and includes chat functionality for brainstorming / arguing over document sharing. An upcoming version includes a blackboard with integrated TeX editing for scientific document collaboration (or for some of us to just use the pretty little symbols).

It looks really cool. I would like to throw this up as a shell around OmniOutliner documents, but I'll take what they give me now.

I'm also checking out TinderBox, but it would take collaborative editing to convince me to move outside the small, fast, comfortable world of OmniOutliner.
