Am i a giant dork for doing this?

[MaxHarvard]

Ok last night, i went to Office Max and got a 4" 3 ring binder, a bunch of clear plastic sheets and decided to cut out all the tech articles in my entire car magazine collection... about 5-6 years worth of magazines.

I'm making a "How-to" book with articles just in case i ever need the info, or possibly pass it on to my kid(s)...

what do you guys think?

If you have the time, go for it. Sounds cool. :cool:

You were a giant dork long before you did that. ;) :P

I think its a good Idea especialy if you put tabs on every subject this way if you need to look up a how to its easy to find. Also passing any type of knowledge to your children is invaluable.

I say do it.

Yes! You are a dork..............How much $ for a copy? :)

lol.. pretty much what I was going to say.. ;)


But it is a good idea.. many times I haven't been able to find an article I was looking for.


Oh, and Derek.. do you know the origin of the word "dork"?.. lol

[MaxHarvard]

HAHAH!! you guys are too much!

I've got tabs for major parts of the car (i.e. Interior, engine, fuel/air, wheels/tires, cooling/ac, body work, tools...etc.)

When i'm done i should have a good 200+ articles, if you wanted a copy i could make one up. The binder was $17, pages are $7 per 100 clear plastic sheets... and of course the cost of copies :D

I've got all sorts of crazy articles on how stuff works and how-to's... i just hope it gets lots of use!

EDIT: The definition of "Dork" is whale penis ;)

I would say you are smarter than me. I have a mini storage unit full of magazines. I just keep only a hand full at the house. I had planned long ago to computer catalog them so I could reference them later but at this point I doubt it will ever happen.

I think you should put it online :). I've thought of doing that and then after a few years sometimes an article resurfaces with some updates. I applaud your organizational talents!

Oh, yes, having grown up in Minn I see you'll have plenty of time, too.

Maybe you could scan what you want into your computer, then save on a disc.
