That Little Red Headed Girl

unconsumption: Another self-contained product — in which the packaging *is* the product Unconsumption reader Cody Boehmig saw our post about this box-turned-lamp, and was inspired to tell us about several of his projects, including his (prototype) “Utilitarian Wall Shelf” made from used cardboard: It begins as a folded 11″ × 14″ rectangle. Prompted by the instructions on the packaging, the user unfolds it [the packaging, which is a piece of scored, used cardboard] into a flat shape, and then folds it up into a shelf with the help of an easy-to-use letter-matching system. The nails that hold the shelf to the wall also hold the folded shelf together. The final shelf space is 11″ × 7″ and is sturdy enough to comfortably support a full load of average-sized books. [Thx, Cody!] Brilliant

Accent theme by Handsome Code

Charlie Brown: It's stupid to just sit here and admire that little red haired girl from a distance. It's stupid not to get up and go over and talk to her.
[stands up]
Charlie Brown: It's really stupid! It's just plain stupid; so why I don't I go over and talk to her?
[sits down]
Charlie Brown: Because I'm stupid.
