I'm a tall, skinny software developer, (6'5"/196cm) who cannot find a desk even remotely what I need/want in terms of style, quality, and size. I am going to have a carpenter build me a desk. Google has found me nothing. Do you have a desk you love? What makes you love it? Are you a tall person who finds they need keyboard/mouse at exactly the right height? How did you solve this? Do you have plans you love or a desk design you can recommend? [more inside]

I'm looking to setup some 529 plans for my young kids to save for college. My state's plan doesn't have any extra tax benefits so I'm looking elsewhere. Jane Bryant Quinn likes Utah's plan because the costs are low. I've been using savingforcollege.com for information, but there are a lot of choices, and I'm not sure of all the ramifications of each. I'm looking for any thoughts regarding 529s and the States with the best plans. I'm from Massachusetts.
