July 18, 2011 – Random CDs (Post 1 of 3)
The next 3 days, I’m going to RID my last 3 CD entries. But, you ask…I thought that these were given away by letter? How are there any left? The ones that are left remain due to three reasons: 1. … Continue reading
July 17, 2011 – On originalism.
Ah – the unexpected Star Wars RID. I, like most people in my age group, loved the original. And yes, Empire? Clearly the best of the series. So, it makes sense that I’d want to own these movies, and share … Continue reading
July 16, 2011 – Glued to the set.
This book, about the TV shows that shifted American culture, was a good enough skim/read. But today, as I RID it, I think about not just RIDding the book, but maybe how much television I watch as well. One of … Continue reading
July 15, 2011 – CDs, the Z’s.
Warren Zanes and Warren Zevon. Simple enough RID for the last of the “letter driven” CD giveaways. And with that, the former CD shelf looks as empty as could be. Or is it (3 CD posts coming soon.)
July 14, 2011 – Flagwavering.
This is the kind of book I used to purchase that made the RID project so good for me. It’s a sociological study of where people display American flags, and what the symbolism means. A fascinating topic, if you ask … Continue reading
July 13, 2011 – A few good men.
I’ve never really been a fan of Tom Cruise. But, I have to admit..when he brings it…as he did in this movie? Pretty darned impressive. So, today I RID a movie I remember well. After all, who can’t quote the … Continue reading
July 12, 2011 – Dogma.
The RID project has changed my way in a substantial way about the ownership of content. Today, I give away Dogma. (Seemed appropriate.) It’s a movie I love. I know I’ll watch again. I’ll wanna share with someone. But – … Continue reading
July 11, 2011 – David Cross.
If the next person who gets this DVD gets half the laughs I do from David Cross….it’ll be worth it. One of just a handful of comedians who portrays current events in the light they need to be seen in, … Continue reading
July 10, 2011 – The trick sometimes is not ever to take possession.
This may be my proudest RID ever. I received this as part of my TED bookclub mailing. I realize I’ll never read it…so why even take possession? It goes off to someone else today. Allowing them to read, treasure, and … Continue reading
July 9, 2011 – Monet.
Yesterday, Renoir. Today, Monet. Suffice it to say…my coffee tables getting more organized. And for me? I’ll keep ONLY the books of art that truly connect with me. So, don’t expect to see any contemporary artist collections on this blog. … Continue reading
What I got rid of today.
