Do you remember Maria’s post on the sort-of-creepy-but-pretty-neat Rube Goldberg Fifth Avenue apartment?

Well.  That is just…peas…compared to Scott Jones’ palatial estate.  Considering Scott’s background (Scott invented VOICEMAIL, ChaCha, MOG, Gracenote, etc.), it seems only fitting that he owns a 27,000 sq. foot mansion filled with tech treats and hidden surprises.  The house was featured on HGTV’s “Top 10 Most Amazing Homes” and, more recently, MTV TEEN CRIBS.

Fact!  I did not even know MTV Teen Cribs existed (Thank you, Phil), but the episode above (well…I only watched the first crib: Scott’s home presented by his son Andrew) is far more satisfying than any other Cribs episode I have ever seen.  The house has a secret passage (concealed by a bookcase!), a giant slide, a movie theater, a tree house, and a T-Rex head.  The tech stuff is pretty cool, but I could not stop thinking about the (Disney Channel Original Movie) Smart House.  Which, if you do not recall (or if you spent your youth watching more worthwhile things), was about a tech house “of the future” that goes bat shit.

Finally…Question.  Is it just me or is the intro speaker’s voice much higher than the usual speaker?  Follow-up Question.  When a certian thing is “kid-a-fied,” does that automatically equal higher-pitched voices?  Like…Kidz Bop (I admit, out of all the Kidz Bop songs to feature, this is a poor choice.  BUT PAY ATTENTION AT EXACTLY 2:38 AND IT WILL ALL BE WORTH IT.)

PS- If the video above does not work, this is the link.  I don’t think embeded MTV likes Stickers and Donuts, because the video almost never loads.  Womp womp.
