D&D enthusiast's games room. A collection to end all collections. Makes me feel a bit better about the paltry box-full or two that I amassed.

WTF - Haml. Oh, the pains of being a n00b. I think we can all relate to this account of a never-ending yak-shaving adventure. Be sure and click through to the original thread.

MIT Flea. Next time you're in Massachusetts be sure and drop by the MIT flea-market. Probably the only place in the world you can buy an original Enigma machine, some cannonballs, a "Boob Radio" and a Spongebob Squarepants PC case on the same day.
