meanwhile, in nazi germany

Last night I watched The Architecture of Doom, a documentary about Nazi Germany that looks at the intersection of aesthetics, art, architecture, and Nazi philosophy. Good stuff. WaPo review.

It's on netflix streaming, and may also be out on youtube.

planning ahead for decrufting

I think I'm going to try and collect as much of my random electronicsish cruft that I want to get rid of, (everything from old mice to old motherboards to old webcams, probably some cables, wall warts, etc) put it into boxes, take it to one of the early MIT Fleas this spring, and put it out with a big sign saying "BEST OFFER"

I'm less concerned with making money (beyond perhaps making back my vendor fee) and more with disposing of the cruft in a way that maximizes the chance that it'll be useful to someone.

I like this plan.
