The VersionDownload team is always scouring the web for information on old software versions that we don’t have, or for new titles that might interest the VersionDownload community. Despite our passionate efforts, we sometimes get a little distracted by other things going on around the internet (I know, it’s hard to believe) and fall behind on our work.
Rather than making more of an effort to focus, we thought it would just be easier to share our distractions with you, the reader. So I bring you the first “Links and Things” post, where we’ll try and bring you interesting thoughts, trends and sites that in some (broad) way are related to VersionDownload.com. Enjoy!
Today theme is “Cool ways to Reuse things”. This seemed like an obvious place to start since VersionDownload was build on the idea that “newer isn’t always better”. We thought we’d branch out a bit from that topic and show you some other old things that can be used for good again:
- Doors: The folks over at Lifehacker asked their readers to send in pics of creative work spaces, all using doors as desks.
- Jeans: If there’s one thing that will never go out of style it’s jeans. The problem is jeans that used to be in fashion now sit in the closet because they’re too embarrassing to look at. Here’s 25 ways to reuse those old jeans. (Note: In any list of 25, there’s going to be some less-than-quality ideas)
- Old t-shirts: Here’s a great video on using old t-shirts to make emergency fire kits.
- Other things around the house: Here’s a list of 50 other basic reuses of around-the-house items.
If you’re of the more ambitious, lots of free-time mentality, here are some more complex ideas:

- Make your own furniture.
- Reuse airline food carts (amongst other things).
- Shipping container housing (if you happen to have a few sitting around).
One other major reuse idea that we left out is computer reuse and re-purposing. This was intentional, because over the next month we’re going to have a series of posts on that topic and show you how VersionDownload can play a role in it.
Thanks!
