Shred It

Folks familiar to these pages know that of all the helpful and strange pieces of technology that fill my office, my centerpiece, that little darling of destruction – The Shredder, is hands down the sweetheart of my collection. Although she kills and maims that which was once beautiful and full of purpose and possibility, I would be lost at sea, Captain Ahab fighting against the swells of loose nostalgic sediment, if she were oldfangled or worse.

You can’t even imagine how juiced I was when I ran across a link to SSI (Shredding Systems Inc.,) and in particular their page called ‘watch it shred‘. My birthday is coming up in a few months and I think this might make the perfect gift for me. No longer would I have to worry about the neighbors and their lusty eye for my garbage can. I could be friendly, invite them over for beers. We could shred together in pure neighborly delight. I must insist that you watch SSI’s movie gallery of actual shredding. I think you’ll find the most drama and and story line with the boat and the washing machine.
