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
October 1, 2010 – Surrounded.
Today I give away 4 surround sound speakers. I’ve had these for quite a while, and they were just sitting in a closet, gathering dust. I remember the first time I ever saw TV with good surround sound–I had to … Continue reading
September 26, 2010 – Box ‘o wires.
It’s no surprise with all the electronic stuff I’m getting RID of, that there are a few extra wires I have. This box of wiring, cables, hookups, doodads, etc. was just begging to be given away on yet another football … Continue reading
September 24, 2010 – Banker’s desk lamp.
The RID project has made me think (a lot) about my relationship to stuff. And it has taught me some things about what I value. I’ve blogged before in this space about how I have two desk lamps. But only … Continue reading

September 13, 2010 – Magic Wand.
Here’s kind of a cool gadget – it’s a “magic wand” that you can use to control your remote-controlled devices. With a wave of a hand, your devices seem to answer your command. It IS cool…BUT it would’ve taken me … Continue reading
August 27, 2010 – Take a picture of this…
It only makes sense that, since I got rid of an old video camera the other day, a 35mm camera would be soon thereafter. I received this camera years ago as a gift from my parents, and I loved it…I … Continue reading
August 25, 2010 – A videocamera I haven’t used in years.
I’ve been hanging onto this video camera…and I wish I could give you a good garsh-darn reason why. I’ve had it since 1994 – and that should tell you it’s quite a bit larger than it might appear in the … Continue reading
