My CollectionDo you have display cabinets full of stuff? With it all neatly labelled, cross-referenced and entered into a database. Have you been to a convention? Do other collectors look up to you in awe?
I thought I was above this one. I'm not that autistically geeky that I have a Collection with a capital C. But no, I remembered I'm hoarding away every version of "Inside Macintosh" ever published.
What do you collect? And why? I mean, what makes you do it?

Makes people look at me weird...I collect knives, blades, etc. and unlike many such collectors, I collect not due to decorations, but as to how lethal, functional, and beautiful I find the blades. Obviously the handles and hilts must be well made and functional, and fit the overall appearance of the whole, but I could care less about them or the sheaths.
Then I try to convince people that I am actually a very calm, and peaceful person, and I find knives to be art. Deadly art, but art nonetheless...
I have well over two hundred of these things, at the sheer amount of sharpening gear I have is also quite scary, but I think it isvery Zen-Like to sharpen my deadly art, so...
