Video/Photography storage

My husband has little blue plastic boxes filled with photo transparencies (slides) and hundreds (it seems, anyway) of Hi 8 videotapes, etc. that are scattered here, there and yon.

Does anybody have any clever or even just utilitarian suggestions for storage? I'm assuming there are use-specific items for sale (I need to start googling that) but I also thought there might be some not so obvious methods, as well.

Thanks

Yes, the mother lode of Container Stores is here in Dallas. (The company is based here.) I need to measure these boxes and go check it out.

Last night I put together a banker's box and put the tapes in it and it worked great, until I figured out it didn't fit inside his cabinet.

The tape measure is your friend.

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. »
