The Great Internet Migratory Box of Electronics Junk (TGIMBOEJ for short)

Windell, from Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories, recently posted an article about The Great Internet Migratory Box of Electronics Junk.  You're probably wondering what in the world that is.  Well, the short answer is this: a box of random stuff geeks send to other geeks.  For the comlete answer, you can read the article Windell posted or check out the wiki at TGIMBOEJ.org.

So if you're a geek like me, and you have a bunch of electronics junk you've collected over time, you probably want to see what it's all about.  I've found lots of interesting components looking through old or broken electronics.  The problem is that normally I'll end up with several interesting types of items, but loads of each item.  Then other geeks have the same thing happen.  So I'll have 512 flux capacitors and 84 gold-plated reactuator coils, while fellow geek Bob has 9,374 clickety-alphanumeric-tickers and 42 inducticatorifiers.  Why not exchange some of these items?  That's where TGIMBOEJ comes in.  It's an interesting solution to the problem, and it adds a little more randomness to make it more interesting.  So box up some of your extra electronics junk, mail it to another geek, and let everyone know about it!
