100 Things

I’ve decided to participate in the 100 Things challenge that’s been popping up all over the web – living with only 100 things.

A couple of rules for my personal version of the challenge:

  • Shared items will not be counted – plates, towels, televisions, furniture, etc.  If more than one person in my family uses an item, it won’t count against my 100 things.  However, there are items that are typically shared, but that, in my own situation, I am the sole user.  These items, like my xbox360, will be counted.
  • Socks and underwear will not be counted, due to, well… general hygiene.
  • Personal health-type things will not be counted.  These include toothbrush, razor, eyeglasses, etc.  Also due to general hygiene and basically not grossing people out.
  • Cables will not be counted.  I’m a musician and audio engineer, so I’ll count instruments, effect pedals, and microphones, but won’t count the pieces to connect everything together.
  • Certain peripherals – I’ll count my xbox360 but not the controllers/remote control
  • Here’s one my wife will hate – books will not be counted.  My challenge, my rules.  Unless she lets me repurchase the good ones for kindle on the iPhone…

    How is the Jekyll and Hyde distortion pedal? Been looking for something. I've been mostly acoustic the last five years but am debating writing some electric tunes. Of course, that means some modifications to my own 100 ITem List.

    I've actually left it off my board for the past few months. Going with just the OCD and the GT-500 has been decent. The Jekyll/Hyde does give a more bassy, metal-ish distortion.

    What kind of music do you play?

    Oh, my goodness! I don't know who thought of this, but I'd have to exclude so many categories that I might as well not bother. And I'll bet they didn't have kids, either. Do their things count as my things? Keep us posted!

    Kids stuff definitely does NOT count!
