Microneighborhoods
Manhattan real estate term for "zones of hipness" engineered by specialty
retailers to attract a specific demographic - artists, foodies, sexaholics,
fashionistas.

Bluefields
Construction sites built on land reclaimed from the ocean.

Visual Motor Ecstasy
Coined by pediatrician Mel Levine to describe a range of intensely
stimulating pursuits (most notably first-person shooter videogames) that
involve rapid movement and tend to be nonverbal and devoid of intellectual
enrichment.

Placeshifting
Watching or listening to recorded media on any network-connected device -
not just the laptop or TiVo box that originally received it. The next
logical step beyond timeshifting.
