Another Possible Use for a Junkdrawer

I think junkdrawers are great. I prefer to use them to keep entropy at bay, to isolate the inevitable clutter that accumulates in my life, to avoid the awkward mental challenges that come from sorting items that resist any obvious kinship with the more mundane objects that I tend to keep neatly organised, by type and proximity to their probable area of use.

Junkdrawers conceal our embarrassing inability to bring the kind of order to our lives that we may sometimes desire.

You can also build stuff with them.

Here's a video of a guy who built a very functional oud from a drawer. Of course, the question arises as to whether or not this was truly a junkdrawer. He portrays it as a normal clothing drawer. However, it seems improbable to me that he would actually requisition a clothing drawer that was already in use for it's intended purpose. I prefer to think it was merely a left over drawer from a discarded dresser. I bet it began to accumulate various items before he found a use for it. Such is the nature of junkdrawers.

If you build an oud from a drawer, where are you going to store it?

This is a pleasant video. It has a nice classical music soundtrack and some eye catching graphics of mathematical transformations.

A Message to Jehovah's Witnesses

Did you know that Jehovah's Witnesses keep a "do not call" list? Most people don't. It makes sense though. We have do not call lists for telemarketers and having religious zealots knock on your door on Saturday mornings can be even more irritating. It can be especially problematic if you work nights or have health problems that make it difficult to answer the door. I am a big believer in religious freedoms. I'm glad they have the right to advertise their religion. I just think it is only appropriate that we have the right to tell them not to do it on our property.

This slideshow talks about their do not call list and gives some good reasons for why you might want to get on it.

I'm Back

Well, I took some time off from this blog and got some things done. I was surprised that some people kept visiting in my absence. Thank you. I thought I would come back and do a little more posting. I'll have to see how it goes.
