classic barThis guy’s place puts me to shame. Even in my pre-move glory days, my col­lec­tion was nowhere in the vicin­ity of this one. For those of you that don’t know I reduced my space when I made the move to Hamilton and at least half my col­lec­tion of hard­ware went to the dump along with all the old issues of Macworld/MacUser/Publish! etc. as well as all the soft­ware boxes. I recall the first cull that I did of soft­ware that had col­lec­ted in my base­ment. I had filled the base­ment entirely, with just a walk­way down the middle and the boxes ten­ded to col­lapse everynow and then. So one day, with my neigh­bours assist­ance I moved most of it out. We filled the gar­age to a depth of six feet or so and then star­ted col­lapsing boxes and filling big­ger boxes. Back in those days, garbage col­lec­tion was also not lim­ited to fixed amount and they thank­fully took it all let­ting me use my drive­way again…but I digress.

Thanks to Scott for this link. I must applaud this whole concept for some of the innov­at­ive ways that he has sta­tioned his col­lec­tion. I always had a hope of hav­ing a roomy enough house to have a bit of gal­lery, but this guy has con­struc­ted a bar made out of Clas­sic II’s. Take the sideshow tour. Everything even works and is wired. Equally impress­ive is the iMac wall, with all the col­ours. This guy has taken col­lect­ing to heart.

I tagged this with information_architecture and as I was doing real­ized that this place gives this tag a whole new mean­ing. Cool.
