Standing at the doorway to the living room, here's the couch. A nice, big, soft, cozy sectional. Who would ever guess that I have cut one half right down the middle and reassembled it? Small doorway.

And looking over to the right a bit, there's the guinea pig in his aquarium, the weird artsy chair, and oh yes, the lava lamp. Don't you just want to go "bloop bloop" when it bubbles up and down?

A quick shot of the bedroom. I took this one cause I'm so proud of what a nice job I did making the headboard and shelves. Doesn't it look professional?

Considering that this camera is a slow serial-based data transfer, here's a look at the USB compact-flash card drive that I bought to make things faster. Works great!

My Handspring Visor Deluxe handheld computer. I've used Sony, Palm, and now Handspring. Handspring has been the best. Oh, and no matter what kind of handheld I have, it's always for sale.

Back when CD-recording was new, I bought this HP6020ep external parallel port writer. It's CD-R only (not CD-RW) and only 1x or 2x writing. Also always for sale, and very handy even though it's old.

And what techie-geek's collection would be complete without the simply amazing Commodore 64? If you're a techie and you never had one of these, or at least used one, well, then don't even talk to me.

Those of us lucky few that migrated from tape to disk would have purchased this absolutely screaming fast (*ahem) 300-baud Commodore 1541 disk drive. Ohhhhh the blazing speed!

And finally, here's my current collection of paperweights. Ok ok, those are really 5.25" floppy disk drives from old PCs. They have their uses. Doorstop, wheel chock, table-leveller, plumb bob...etc.
