But what if you own more than 20 CDs?

by Bob Sassone, posted Sep 2nd 2005 3:03PM

Here's a little fact that many of my friends and family might not know about me: I love home design shows. Design on a Dime, Mission: Organization, reDesign, Divine Design. I never miss these shows, unless they are redoing someone's million dollar home, and then, well, I just can't relate.

One thing I don't understand. Whenever they help a person organize his or her apartment or house, they come up with these really cool space saving ideas for books and CDs and DVDs. But the people always own, like, 10 books, maybe 20 CDs, maybe 20 DVDs. Um, what if you own several hundred books and several hundred CDs and DVDS? I'm watching one show right now and the couple has a handful of books and CDs (and about 8 videotapes) that they can place in these cute little bins or under a cabinet. Of course, this means that they can never buy another book or CD/DVD ever again, because it just won't fit in the bins. Sorry!

Online advertising newsletter, ADBUMb has a controversial article that talks about how advertising networks are running cost-per-action direct response ads that are hurting their own networks. It seems that the only reason that they are doing this is to make quick cash, even though they know some of these ads are semi-fraudulent and dumb down the network as a whole. http://www.adbumb.com/archives/2005/08/dealing_cpa_on_1.php

Actually I did see a clean sweep episode the other week where the guy had several hundred cds and they built-in deep slideout shelves for them. What I want to know is why a shelf full of books is OK in design circles but a shelf of CDs DVD's or videos is taboo and must be hidden (along with the TV). And don't get me started about designers fear of ceiling fans and candle fetishes.
