Tons of Old Magazines

Filed in: Life Log — December 6th, 2006

I have been buying computer magazines since secondary school. By average, I bought two or three magazines each month in the past few years.

I never sold or dumped any of my magazine. Can you imagine how many old magazines I have collected? I have old magazines at every corner of my house!

Recently, I started cleaning up the old magazines. I have sold 66KG of old magazines. It was only a small part of my whole collection!

My current tactic is by cleaning up old magazines bit by bit, corner by corner (whenever I am free). I think it will take one or two weeks to clear. After that, I will have more spaces for my books.

Do you keep or throw old magazines? By the way, you can get free magazines here. :)

P.S. Perhaps I should digitize my magazines?

    I wish to have computer magazine monthly too, but RM10 each seems to be too pricey to me. I have only 2 or 3 computer related magazine. =p

    Haiya!

    66 KG and counting? Why not donate it to Pusat Latihan Khidmat Negara?

    They could put it in a huge sack and use it as a punching bag. You know how those kids love to smack each other?

    You could have you blog address printed on the sack you know ?

    In my opinion you should recycle all your computer magazines.

    In this age and time, computer mags/books tend to go obsolete a month into print. The Internet has changed how information is transferred to the masses. It’s now the almost absolute latest update in realtime.

    Previously, I too use to buy computer mags. However, it never was for research or learning something… mostly for keeping myself awake during MRT commutes :)

    @Jaynier: There is no specific amount for you to start earning with Adsense. Just pick your niche, post regularly and submit your blog to web directories and search engines. Then the earnings will start to come in :D

    I think my collection might be more that you though. I’ve been subscribing to 3 magazines at once including ZDNET, PC WORLD and more directly from the US and UK before PC World/PC Mag Malaysia was published.

    Now I am only subscribed to PC Magazine Malaysia.

    What I did was I donated the old magazines to school and to my nephew.
