    "So Dauber serves guests burgers on the built-in grill only to get a perverse satisfaction when they puke it up later on."

    Hard to envision a more perfect candidate for Apple.

    I'm sure that this non-Euclidean setup looks much different in person, but I'm not sure what Mr. Dauber means when he says he "wanted someone to barf when they look at it." It doesn't seem particularly nauseating to me.

    Is this what people consider a backyard in california? Lol.

    I live in the north east. Here is my backyard. I'm 20 mins from downtown via the interstate and my property taxes are probably way less. Every kid should have a real back yard to eat dirt and grow up in.

    The corner kills the full illusion, I will add some curved moulding in order to smooth the transition from wall to floor.
