Identify the items, win prizes!

As a follow up to the "Heater Go America" thread I thought I'd post a pic of all the swag I dragged back over the pond.

Some of it is gear I managed to get the boss to buy whilst there, essential test gear right? Some of it is swag from the three Expos I attended in San Jose. Some is souvenirs. Some is gifts from people I met along the way.

Many items have a story behind them.

OK, I lied about the prizes. But you can always win cred by knowing your Fry's product range.


Edit: OK the skull in the picture did not come from the USA. That's Valtari. Valatari is kind of fun but he has a problem. He has no brain. I always thought a Propeller might do.

    Nice haul! The most valuable items I see in the photo are the breadboard jumper wires. One can never have enough of them.

    Nice haul! I just hauled in a pretty good deal myself, a brand new PS-2 keyboard in its damaged retail box for 72 cents. Local Big Lots closing down, 70% off everything. Not much left. Just as well I only found out today, otherwise I would have been hoarding more stuff I "need".

    Chip Gracey and Parallax fixing the Norse gods. I like it. Do you think Vlatari would speak C or Spin?

    I have about 5 of those Railroad whistles. My kids would not take them with them. Now they wish they had them as they are having kids of their one.
    New (old) Christmas presents. :)

    That's exactly the same Fluke multimeter that I have been using for years.

    Wait, is that a piece of Hitchbot in the back row? :)

    Only if you went to Philadelphia searching for "souvenirs".

    I don't see the stars and stripes skivvies, or are they in use.

    Thank you for visiting and supporting our economy!!!

    I think the skivvies are under his whistle...so to speak...

    I like the blocks of walnut. Are those from Chip pruning his orchard?

    @MikeDYur,

    My star spangled skivvies are there.

    @mindrobots,

    Quite possibly I did support your economy. Most of that stuff comes from China mind.

    @David Betz,

    It was a bit more than pruning that had been going on. Whole sale replacement of old trees as far as I can tell. If you want walnut Chip is your man, he has tons of it.

    Now, what's the best way to power that 110v Hako iron from 230 volts?

    @heater

    No way would you pass inspections, and your own country might have you drawn up on charges.
