Xeni Tech on NPR: Living in Star Trek -- for real.

On this week's edition of the NPR program "Day to Day":

Tony Alleyne loved the Star Trek universe so much, he wanted to live in it. So after a bitter breakup, he remodeled his condominium to look like the inside of the Starship Enterprise.

Since then he's started a science fiction interior design business to recoup the cost, and now he's an Internet hero.

Last year, he placed the apartment on auction at eBay for a price he knew was steep -- $2 million. He plans to auction it again next month at a more modest price.
