This is beautiful and I am now motivated to make my own as well. And I've figured out what I'm going to do with it.

Since 1999 I've been 'printing to PDF' all the great stuff I've read on the Internet. As a result, I have an 36gigabyte archive of PDF files.

I'm going to make one of these ultimate boxes, and put my archive out in the wilderness, up a mountain, behind my hut in a deep, dry hole in the rock.

That way I'll always have something great to read when I get up the scrag. ;)



Reminds me of a personalized version of the Long Now Foundation's "Manual for Civilization"


That would be pretty sweet to share as a doomsday bathroom reading collection. Any chance you might throw it up on archive.org?


Oh I dunno, it'd take a fair bit of time to vet for personal data .. I think I'll just make it more of a family/friends heirloom installation, and for those 'in the know' about how to get up to the hut. There's a ton of great stuff in the archive, but I don't think its something of public interest as much as just my personal tastes in interesting shit ..
