If you are in the silicon valley area, pick one up.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.evilmadscientist.com/article.php/junkbox">The Great Internet Migratory Box of Electronics Junk</a> is essentially a virtual swap meet. A mysterious USPS flatrate box arrives on your door step filled to the brim with random electronics. You remove some pieces that you find interesting or useful. Write about them. Add some items from your own collection, and then ship it off to a recipient you deem worthy. [<a href="http://www.understandingmaya.com/blog/">John Park</a>] was kind enough to send us the box code named Rangoon and here&#8217;s what we found inside:</p>
<p><span id="more-2128"></span></p>
<p><img width="450" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="338" border="0" alt="" src="http://hackadaycom.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/had_junk-1.jpg?w=450&#038;h=338" /><br />Suprise! A bunch of electronics junk! There were old circuit boards and new unpopulated boards, a pocket phone dialer, a giant multimedia remote, coincells, random LEDs, wirewrap boards, a touchscreen toy, and a mini FM microphone amongst many other things. Most important was a small log book for suggesting recipients.</p>
<p><img width="450" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="176" border="0" alt="" src="http://hackadaycom.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/had_pulls.jpg?w=450&#038;h=176" /><br />We pulled out some pin sockets, a light up fader with detents, a pager motor, and a sealed Dialight bag, which ended up being a four digit hexadecimal display.</p>
<p><img width="450" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="260" border="0" alt="" src="http://hackadaycom.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/had_adds-1.jpg?w=450&#038;h=260" /><br />Our contributions to the box were: some sockets, a microswitch, weights from a gaming mouse, a <a href="http://www.macetech.com/blog/node/54">ShiftBrite module</a>, controller board from a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRS-80#Model_III">TRS-80 Model III</a> floppy drive, a USB WiFi adapter, and a <a href="http://jakeofalltrades.wordpress.com/2007/09/30/25-head-mounted-display/">Kopin HMD board</a> with adapter. You can see the <a href="http://tgimboej.org/Box_Tracking">progress of this box and others</a> on the official wiki.</p>
