We are piling on Retro a little, so I shall turn the tide and say that I, too, am taking the time to chuck a lot of stuff that I've just had around. I'm trying to present a more professional appearance at work, so a lot of video game shirts had to go. (Which still leaves plenty bumming around at home.)

The biggest problem at the moment is whether to keep a giant-ass bound folder with about 1000 pages of record from the Front Page Sports: Football Pro 98 career league I played with my brother for years on end.

I have two scanners now -- a flatbed scanner specifically designed to scan books, and a printer/scanner copier thing that does both one page at a time plus has a 50 sheet feeder on top.

When my kids draw me a picture I say, "Oh, that's nice!" Then when they leave the room I scan it and dump it in the trash.

I have spiral notebooks from when I was a kid full of BBS phone numbers, passwords, and notes. Then I got the scanners. Scan, trash.

My mom is all about sitting down and looking at physical photographs. I would much rather sit down and look at pictures on my tablet or television. I've already scanned in every photograph we own and if it were up to me I would throw all the physical copies away. (It is not up to me.)

Recently I took pictures of all my Star Wars toys and threw them away. Ha ha, just kidding.
