It's been a long three months, but the Sonos app for iPad is finally here, joining your iPhone in a quest to easily serve up music to every one of your fancy mesh-networked rooms. It's a free 7MB download, so if you've obtained the requisite technology, what have you got to lose?

SiftLinks Turns Links in Your Twitter Stream Into an RSS FeedTwitter is great for short, 140-character snippets, but sometimes you don't have a chance to click on everyone's links and read full articles. To make it easier, web service SiftLinks puts all those links into an RSS feed.

Not everyone wants to sift through unread tweets looking for interesting articles, especially if you follow a lot of people. However, you probably follow those people because you find them interesting, and if you're not on Twitter 24/7 you can miss out on some good articles. Free web service SiftLinks creates a custom RSS feed that contains all those links and links to the original tweets, so they're a bit more condensed, better organized, and ready for you in your RSS reader when it's time to sit down and read. Hit the link to check it out.

This Is the Fanciest Farm House You Can Imagine [Architecture]

This Is the Fanciest Farm House You Can ImagineThis beautiful 4564-square-foot house reminds me of Magneto's base in Secret Wars, with its second floor almost fully suspended over the air. At night it looks like the Jawas' Sandcrawler. It's actually a farm house on the Minija Valley, Lithuania.

The owner of the Utriai Residence, who is dedicated to the production of chicken eggs and pigs, and his wife, an art college student interested in furniture design, wanted a house that looked like a place "made from huge logs". Like Noah's Ark, "where the family with all their belongings and animals moved from the city."
