Rave: Completists

Perhaps it is the desire to have the world's most biggest bottle cap collection. Maybe at age 91, your goal is to walk every street in Sydney, Australia (or Manhattan). Maybe you just collect the best icons from all the websites you visit, or advertising art from the 50's and 60's.

If these, or hundreds of other, stranger passtimes appeal to you, maybe you're a completist. If so, you're in luck. In prehistoric time, say the 80's, your strange hobby could only be inflicted upon your friends and family. Maybe you'd mount your beer bottle caps in a handsome album and trot it out at Christmas and Easter. Your quest to walk every street in your city would be relegated to the dim recesses of your mind and to anecdotes told by your children and neighbors.

Back then, it was hard to share your labor of love with others. Today, your private obsession can be a public one. Just build yourself a website devoted to your strange hobby and enjoy!

The Internet is a paradise for freaks, and completists are a huge part of it. Everybody should spend a few minutes today checking out someone's collection.
