Sometimes the little things can totally make my day, and while driving home from Fathers Day this weekend, I had just such a moment.
I keep my CDs in a 2x2 CD binder which normally lives in my passenger seat. Without really thinking about it, I had always just oriented it "right side up," which required me to reach just slightly too far to comfortably access the top row of CDs.
So, I turned my CD binder upside down, so now all the CD slots are facing towards me instead of towards the passenger door, making my interaction with each row effectively two rows closer. Not only is this a lot easier, but it's probably safer, too.
god dammit, benjy. if you put your cds in like that, then they all want to fall out when you hold the cd case like a book to look through it.
this is why if you have a 2×2 cd case, then you lay it out so that the slots are pointed towards the dashboard. this is the best of all possible worlds, plus it is harder to throw it about if you brake or turn hard.
