A lifetime project to which I occasionally return is the conversion of all my dvds (somewhat over 400) to thinpaks. A thinpak dvd case is roughly half the depth of a standard dvd case. And so, math majors can affirm, will take up roughly half the shelf space. As shelf space is currently at a premium in the house (being more necessary and coveted than gasoline at this point), I thought it prudent to revist the old project.

On a lark, I thought I'd invest time in the music video/concert aspect of my collection. On a further lark, I thought it might look cool if all my music dvds looked like they were a part of the same series, no matter their publisher. Here's the concept as it's currently shaping up:

Heh, the wave motion on that second Harry Connick Jr. disc, made by the white of his undershirt, makes that cover look like a Coke product.

Lord of the Flieses

Here's a custom dvd cover (for the 1963 version of Lord of the Flies - a.k.a. the spooky version) that I'm in the midst of fiddling around with. Not happy with the text yet, but it's just a matter of time (and many, many font changes), I'm sure. I do love the large, hi-fi fly with the very lo-fi Sharpie crown.
