Doing a grand office-cleaning project today. I'm sitting here staring at a pile of ~500 business cards, which I've been collecting throughout my career, and unless I'm forgetting something, I don't thing I've ever once pulled one out & used it. Not once in 15 years.
Same with books. I've got dozens & dozens I've been sent over the years -- really interesting stuff! Except I've never actually read any of them and probably never will. Time for a massive giveaway!
Should I keep this copy of Microsoft Money 2004 Deluxe y/n
One time in college I was stoned in Taco Bell and stole this off the wall -- it struck me as a profound comment on the nature of life & mortality. The value of hauling it around for 26 years is ... less clear. 
Oh man, I just found the user manual for this thing. For *years* I carried around two devices: a cell phone & a music player. I obsessed endlessly over music players. Such a brief moment in time -- a real generational marker. amazon.com/iriver-H120-20…
The excavation continues: just found my full (100+ page) astrological chart, prepared by a, uh, professional astrologer friend in Missoula in 1998 or so.
Turn's out my sun's in virgo, my moon's in scorpio, and my mercury's in virgo. There is ... much more.

Popped all the keys off my mechanical keyboard so I could give it a clean. It ... may have been overdue.
Among other things, today I totally disassembled & reassembled (with a slightly different configuration) my beloved Ikea Jerker desk, which I have had for ~15 years. Ikea doesn't make them any more - whyyy? - but there are still fan sites devoted to them. jerkersearcher.com
If you have a mechanical keyboard, I recommend giving it a good clean. I popped the keys off mine, soaked them in warm water w/ about 6 Efferdent, vacuumed the board, took a q-tip soaked in alcohol to the grease stains, and then reassembled, key by key. Extremely therapeutic.
