I have found my dream bachelor pad!  I just heard about AirBnB.com where you can rent out places instead of staying in a hotel for cheap.  As long as you don’t mind staying at a stranger’s house (which I would) you could save big money.  I love, love, love this place and would totally buy it if I could…

“Looking for something more interesting than a standard hotel room? Try the guest room in our 4600 sqft converted Mission warehouse/loft.

“See that? All 43-inches of this curved NEC monitor with 2880×900 pixel resolution can be yours in July. Ok, it’ll cost you $7,999 but it’s, well, it’s curved! The CRV43, first spotted at CES in January 2008 and again on video in 2009 (where it was expected to cost $6,499), measures in with a 200 nits brightness rating, 10,000:1 contrast, 0.02ms “Rapid Response,” covers 99.3% of the Adobe RGB color gamut, and packs at least one USB2.0 jack and DVI-D and HDMI 1.3 connectors. Unfortunately, gaming is not listed amongst its targeted uses so you’ll be on your own to find a release supporting the CRV43′s 32:10 aspect ratio.”
