Use heatsinks to organize your life!

Heatsinks, every self-respecting geek out there must have a couple, with or without a PCB connected to it…

The problem: businesscards! You get lots of them, cause geeks are hawt! You know that… *^_^*
Well, as long as we’re getting this kind of attention, we need to organize our social life accordingly…

Now, anyone out there would probably organize it like this…

...but we take it a step further… bring in the heatsink!

...When we simply put our businesscards in it, it still isn’t of much use, although this ‘construction’ makes up for a nice paperweight or presse-papier…

...but, isn’t it much nicer to make it this logo-fest? (...and believe me, I really tried hard! ^_^)

...and so, this heatsink helps us organize our social-life and when you got lots and lots of businesscards, you probably start remembering in which heatsink someone’s businesscard is… (“oh wait, he must be in the old P2-heatsink, I’m sure!”)... You can put lots of other stuff in heatsinks as well, but I’m not going to take you through the steps of that. This is what I made of it… (This is the top of my cupboard and yes, all the heatsinks from the first picture are in there…)
Birthdaycards, bills to pay, whatever it is that needs some exposure or attention… put it in a heatsink! ;-)
Alright alright… the real reason why I put this online… I promised myself to clean out my cupboard (or actually… my house in total… I’m slacking in a big way here…), because lately I have a hard time finding stuff in there… (and stuff keeps falling over and such…) I’m sure you’re familiar with this behaviour… When you start out, all of a sudden you’re motivated to do anything except what you ought to do… So… this is what my cupboard really looks like…

not that organized now is it? (and be glad I didn’t take a pic even further away, cause the mess keeps getting bigger)... I guess I’ve got some work to do… And read some more lifehacking tips or such…

COMMODORE!
Well done! I have had a heatsink out of an old XBOX holding mail on my desk for some time. They’re great for this kind of thing, and look cool too.
To be honoust, it isn’t thát bad…It’s more organized then my cupboards and closets…LOL, finding something in there is like going through hell…Altough I can’t imagine hell being that bad.
Anywayz, I was wondering, those pirateflag thingy’s in the upperleft and upperright of the picture..Where did you get that? Cause they’re pretty cool (and I now absolutely must have ‘em too^-^)
whaaaa
damn great mark!
i’ll do the same for sure.. i have just a p3 600 layng around
>those pirateflag thingy’s in the upperleft and upperright of the picture..Where did you get that?
Oh haha, those were sold in a small shop close to my house. You know the kind of shops, where they seem to sell everything, tobacco, stamps but also candy, books, DVDs etc… Any way, these were there among other pirate-stuff for having a ‘kids pirate party’... I guess when you go to a toystore, you’ll have a fair chance of getting these or similar… _ (btw, they only cost something like 1.50 euro)
is that book shelf from ikea?
u have a head massage thing! omg! i think i am the one to buy one of this!
:)
>is that book shelf from ikea?
indeed it is…
>u have a head massage thing!
haha, ah well, I once got it. I was thinking of making it a uni-directional wireless LAN antenna for my ibook… :-)
I took another approach: I moved to an apartment and built a big desk (with heatsinks on it).
When that overflowed, I built another desk, then another, then a big open closet/cupboard, then cabinets in the ceiling. Now I am starting to build a house.
And it´s not that difficult to find things: you remember the aproximate date you last saw the object and deduce the desk´s geological layer it should be in.
