Those of you that read Hackaday have probably seen this article already, but I thought it was a great idea. Unfortunately I can't access the GIMBoJ site right now due to internet filtering, but I'll be home in about 6 days and will definitely have to give it a look.

Anyone interested in starting something similar for 4HV? The flat rate USPS boxes are $9 to send if I'm not mistaken, and who knows what kind of goodies you'd get out of it with this bunch of packrats feeding the box.

I would be willing to throw in some caps, or perhaps a disposable camera or flyback core. Most of my junk is recycled, but I think thats the point, right?

Not bad. I would definitely be willing to throw some random goodies in there. Any crystals I find on random boards are subject to desoldering, though. tongue
