TGMIBOEJ arrives

We actually received two boxes of electronics junk, Zanzibar Initiative and Samsung.  The first one was hand delivered to the space by Rich Watts himself.  We had a cup of coffee and chatted.  This was the first time the space received a box and it was very exciting. When I opened the box I saw some plastic wire cover and a digital mirror clock.  I was kind of in awe at the new stuff.  I decided to go through it later.  It turned out that the wire cover had a cool story behind it.  Rich told me about a time when he was going over to the Blue Man Group’s old warehouse to pick up some leftover supplies.   He found a bunch of cool stuff and two spools of this cool wire cover.  I was about to keep it but decided to pass it on.  The picture on the top left shows the boxes contents.

A few days later, I received a box from Scott.  It came in a cool looking Samsung box.  I opened it and the first thing that struck me was the spinning Woot lights.  I unpacked a bit more and was wowed by the cool stuff that was in it.  See the picture above.

On Tuesday of this week, we are going to throw a bit of a hackerspace twist to these two boxes (resulting in possibly a few more more).  When we have our regular meeting at 7pm, we’ll have people bring in their own electronics junk from around the city.  Then we’ll all look through the boxes, swap out items and then send the boxes off.   I am posting a picture below of a sneak peak of what is inside.  Hopefully these boxes will change significantly before they are shipped off to make it a great surprise for whoever receives them.
