Large objects that don't fit in file folders

I have some old magazines that don't belong on the bookshelf, and some paper things I'd really like to archive are printed design projects, among other things, that are too big to fit in a standard letter-size file, and I don't want to fold them in half to make them fit. What do you do with such things?

The magazines I'm talking about are actually vintage copies of LIFE and such, that an old girlfriend got me a few years ago, and I'm almost afraid to put them in the bookshelf, since I'm afraid they'd be damaged or something.

In that case, it seems like you won't be needing them very often. I would suggest getting some sheet protectors and putting the magazines in there (They'll fit.) and then put them all in a large binder. Then, you could put that in a new rubbermaid with a lid. ;)

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
