Resolution #138: Rip All Of My DVDs To A Hard Drive... And... Get Rid Of The Hard Copies...

Date: 5-18-2014

Due Date: 5-18-2015

Resolution: I was working at Amazon.com around the time DVDs first started to become available. I was doing pretty well financially because of my stock options so I went out and bought a nice laptop with a DVD drive. My old Blackberry was probably more powerful than that laptop, but it was top of the line at the time.

Since I had this DVD drive, was a fan of movies, and had spending money I started to collect DVDs. I used to display my DVD collection with pride but now they are just adding to the clutter that I can't stand looking at.

Most of the DVDs I own are quirky films that aren't readily available on Netflix, so I don't want to just get rid of them. I want to have the movies readily available to me, but I have no need for the physical disk and case. I've been planning to do this for a while and figure now is the time to pull the trigger.

First I will buy an external hard drive and then I will start ripping away.

Result #138: This Could Be A Success… If I Just Abandon My DVDs With my Friend Who’s Storing Them At The Time... But… I Won't… So… It's A Failure…

Well, this post isn't all that exciting, but it is progress!!!

Update #2: The Conclusion…

Date: 5-18-2015

Once again, I find out later this week whether or not I have a job. Once I get a steady income then I'll be able to afford to have these DVDs shipped to me so that I can get back to work.

As always, I'll keep you posted.
