We're gonna need a bigger boat


Alright, its been almost 24 hours since this blog got started, and the novelty hasn't quite worn off yet. So that's a good sign. In my previous post I alluded to the fact that this blog will be used as a way to track progress on an upcoming project. Over the next 2-3 months I intend (with the help of everyone reading this blog) to build a pimpin DVD Case to handle the merging of my collection of DVDs with that of Dee S. Nutts' collection over at dailyplacebo. So perhaps, that doesn't sound that impressive or interesting. But that's the deal.
Here are the requirements.
1.Must hold at least 500 DVDs
2.Must look nice.
3.The design must be clever or interesting in someway.
4. Must Not Overwhelm the room (if you line up 500 DVDs in a row it take up about 23' 6"), feng shui is important.
5. Must Somehow fit into our apartment
6. The movie watching / selecting process must not be hindered

I'm pretty sure some of you guys are engineers, industrial designers, or in some other way qualified to help out on this one. I'll post my basic concept idea on monday. That gives you some time to give some unpolluted thought to the matter at hand.

Oh, and as is the case with all projects as soon as you guys figure out a good plan, i'm more then likely going to change the requirements.

Alright, keep them coming, don't forget that this has got to take up a bunch of future posts on this blog, so something that needs to be designed and constructed is preferable

I personally am a big fan of the crevasse and the dirty blanket...but alas it is unlikely that a crevasse will exist in the new place....too bad.

So if anyone has access to one of those machines that can make like a portal dealy into a wall to create a one foot deep protrusion in to dimension X, for us to put DVDs in...let me know. Maybe we can work something out. I think Krang and i could probably negotitiate some type of leasing arrangement. Krang and rocksteady could watch Harold and kumar, and i could keep some dvds up in their crazy sphere of evil. I think every one involved would be satisfied.
