Being able to reuse things that would otherwise be trash is obviously good for the environment and keeps clutter out of your home, but it can also lead to some inspired, uncluttered design. Recently, I spotted the Soda Bottle Bird Feeder Converter and was impressed by its simplicity. - Russellreno

What are you currently storing? Is it labeled and organized? Are you storing clutter in hopes that it magically disappears? Is what you're storing contained in such a way as to best protect it for the future? Are you monitoring the quality of your storage space? What steps can you take to ensure that your storage areas are clutter free and the items you have in storage are protected and organized? - Russellreno

The Foothill Skate Inn in Sacramento, CA hosted a sold-out crowd on Saturday night as derby fans packed the rink to see their two local teams, the Sac City Rollers and the Sacred City Derby Girls, play each other for the first time. By the end of the... - Russellreno

I'm interested in knowing if you wish the extreme-minimalist future in films like 2001: A Space Odyssey and THX 1138 would have become a reality, or if you think these depictions went too far. - Russellreno

In the original "Saying farewell to a hobby" post, I talked about how to decide if you're not really into your hobby. Letting go of a no-longer-active hobby can be difficult, especially if part of your identity is wrapped up in that activity. But, if you make the hard decision to break up with the stuff for a hobby you're no longer doing, getting rid of the supplies can be emotionally difficult. - Russellreno

"Recovered Journal. December 12, 2006. Tonight my middle-born son asked something to which I said it was at our home. “Why?”, he inquired. “Because home is where you will always be loved, and where it’s safe.” To that he replied, “Well, not _that_ safe.” “Oh, you have brothers—that’s right.” “Yeah.”" - Russellreno from Bookmarklet

Wow and thanks. - Russellreno

Brilliant! - Gordon Herd

"The Democratic bill, in other words, covers 12 times as many people and saves $36 billion more than the Republican plan. And amazingly, the Democratic bill has already been through three committees and a merger process. It's already been shown to interest groups and advocacy organizations and industry stakeholders. It's already made its compromises with reality. It's already been through the legislative sausage grinder. And yet it saves more money and covers more people than the blank-slate alternative proposed by John Boehner and the House Republicans. The Democrats, constrained by reality, produced a far better plan than Boehner, who was constrained solely by his political imagination and legislative skill." - Russellreno from Bookmarklet

This is a major embarrassment for the Republicans. It's one thing to keep your cards close to your chest. Republicans are in the minority, after all, and their plan stands no chance of passage. It's another to lay them out on the table and show everyone that you have no hand, and aren't even totally sure how to play the game. The Democratic plan isn't perfect, but in comparison, it's looking astonishingly good. - Russellreno

Schadenfreude. I has it. - WorldofHiglet

In Unclutter Your Life in One Week, I talk about setting guidelines for your wardrobe to help you decide what can stay and what should go. The eighth item on this list is "You should have an occasion in the next year to wear it." Thankfully, none of the clothes I'm getting rid of meet this definition. - Russellreno

Take a video tour of a house smaller than some people's closets. - Russellreno

apparently I have since I just logged on to the account there that I didn't know I had. I think I dismissed it when I saw it didn't support FF. - Jim Hearts FF

I will have another look later, I never said it was to be a social site but I was looking for the integrated feeds of different social networking aspect of FF and SocialThing at the time. - Andrew Trinh from IM

This item was sent to us by many Unclutterer readers, and I specifically liked the humor expressed by those who sent it to us over Twitter. Today's unitasker is the TwitterPeek. - Russellreno

The rack, which is designed by Paul Koh, fits over your lightswitch, and then you attach your switch plate to the front of it. I think it would be terrific to hang the switch next to a back door to hold a dog leash and all of those papers you can't forget to take with you when you leave. - Russellreno

If you buy the book or request it at the library or borrow it from a friend, I hope you enjoy reading it and find it helpful and motivating. I tried my best to write the book I needed when I was overwhelmed with clutter, and I hope it speaks to you wherever you are on your uncluttering journey. - Russellreno
