    Gah, I do the same... only with computer parts.
    Oh, nice, extra SATA cable, might be useful someday.
    Old computer case? All rusty? No, leave it there... might come in handy for a future modcase project.
    And the coolers too. Missing the wire? No problem, it still might become handy sometime.
    It still might become handy sometime.
    It still might become handy sometime.
    It still might become handy sometime.

    And with that, I ended up with 2 huge boxes filled with wires, computer parts, ac adapters, broken mice and keyboards, etc etc.

    I don't collect junk. Instead I keep accessories in case they might be useful, that turn into junk when I should have dumped them for free immediately. I have boxes full of RCA jack connectors (obsoleted by 1/8 audio jacks and HDMI), wired phone line accessories (no one has land lines), UHF coaxial antenna splitters (huh?), random AC wall warts (should die with USB power), etc.

    Freecycle anything you don't use immediately on craigslist!

    My father-in-law is like this. Only, his rooms are so full that it's like trying to shop in Japan-town in SF. You're afraid an avalanche of junk is just going to come tumbling down onto you and trap you.

    "I was doing better, I really was, and then I visited the DeAnza flea market in Cupertino last year, and it all fell apart again."

    going to a flea market in cupertino is like going to a street corner in the shittier parts of detroit. it's not posted on any signs, but i think it's fairly obvious what it is you'll find for sale in either of those places.

    One would think being a commercial/internet almost celebrity would at least give him enough advantage in the field to not need to resort to a hooker.

    As much as I think Autotune is a crime akin to murder, and Jamie Foxx, T-Painz, Kanye, Fergie, Justin Timerblake, etc et al... should be arrested, I find this is like Justifiable Homicide. Yeah, death was involved, but the world is a better and safer place b/c of it.

    Sigh, you know what's a really sad comment on the music industry. The fact that this is probably the tightest song I've heard all year. Factor in the video has clips from Breakin, and you have all kinds of awesome.
