Waste

May 19th, 2007

Whoa, what’s this? A blog entry? Yeah, I’ve been in a bit of a full-court press here with finals, school projects, and job hunting, which has left me basically no time at all to blog. But finals are over now, so I’ve got some time to breathe–hooray!

The title of this post is about the amount of perfectly servicable stuff people have just abandoned while moving out of the Tower. It is ridiculous. So far I’ve gleaned:

• 15 or 20 outlines and study aids
• 10 or so textbooks, most of which aren’t even going to be superseded
• A few other books
• A blender (saw that one and thought soap!)
• A flatbed scanner

This doesn’t count the furniture (a swivel chair, a decent-looking couch, and a few tables and beds), the two printers, the refrigerator, the two microwaves, and other housewares-type stuff I didn’t pick up. I can understand chucking some stuff, but this is just ridiculous. Anyway, look for most of these items to return to the stream of commerce via finer thrift stores everywhere.

In unrelated news, I’m hoping to get a little more soap stuff done this summer, and possibly another legal-research thing like the Field Guide. And finally, if you’re going to be at the Maker Faire tomorrow, I’ll see you there!
