October 12, 2010 – My favorite artist.
Today I give away a coffee table book featuring works by my favorite artist, Miro. According to the rules I set out yesterday, I have to. I haven’t opened this book in years. I’m hoping that this book finds … Continue reading
October 11, 2010 – Slicker.
I guess I’m in a “raincoat giving away” kind of mood lately. I can’t believe I was hanging on to this. Especially when: 1) I don’t live in Seattle anymore, so my need for a raincoat is far less … Continue reading
October 10, 2010 – More musing on art.
I have a number of coffee table books gathering dust – I’d rather they were gathering coffee. Starting today, if they haven’t been opened in a year…they’re out. And this one’s the first. I got this many, many years … Continue reading
October 9, 2010 – Thoughts of art and commerce.
I got this book a number of years ago. What made me buy it was a chapter about how to account, to the bottom line…the effects of advertising. I’ve been in the business for 22 years now, and it’s … Continue reading
October 8, 2010 – SHIFT_.
Today, I give away a business book. As I cast it onto the RID project, I’m reminded of my time I lived in Los Angeles, working at Chiat/Day, helping Nissan achieve great success. It was a great time in … Continue reading
October 7, 2010 – Rain, rain…
Today I give away a high-quality rain slicker. But…I’m not really giving it away today. You see, I’m off to Cuba for a cultural exchange trip in December, and I fully intend to leave it behind there. I figure … Continue reading
October 6, 2010 – Denon…done.
This little stereo unit has served me well for a long, long time. In fact, as I look at this unit today — I think about my life, my career, and what has changed. I first bought this to be … Continue reading
October 4, 2010 – Tivo, number two.
This is the second Tivo I’ve given away on the RID project. I was hanging on to it not for the machine itself, but because I had shows saved on it that I was “going” to watch someday. A few … Continue reading
October 5, 2010 – Can you hear me now?
Today I RID myself of a Sony amplifier. This is the amplifier that, in the past, powered the surround sound speakers I gave away a couple of days ago. Short entry today – as I’m traveling.
October 3, 2010 – Sound, sound everywhere.
Here’s a great set of computer speakers. While they sound great, they are a duplicate set. So, off they go. Looking at these today has given me pause about how much accessorizing of EVERYTHING we do. We buy extra speakers … Continue reading
What I got rid of today.
