Author Topic: What do you collect? (Read 40016 times)

I did collect lasers but I'm sort of getting out of that hobby, although I don't regret any of the lasers I bought. I had a 30mW 532nm, 120mW 638nm, 1mW 532nm and a 150mW (approx) 405nm.

Now I want to collect keyboards. So far I've got a Microsoft 800 Wireless Keyboard, a waterproof, "soft" keyboard which cost me about $5 from the supermarket and the CM board featured in my signature

I thought you fullas over the ditch weren't allowed to play with lasers because idiots kept shining them at planes during takeoff and landing?

I collect cutlery, plates and knives.

Table tennis blades and rubbers; not going to post everything, but here's my main setup:

The rules state that one side must be red and the other black, but if you use a "hardbat" (the old-style rubber with pips shown here), it can be any color. There are very few hardbat users in rated tournaments, like mechanical keyboards to rubber domes.

And I have a small collection of weapons I designed; not going to post everything, but here's my mace:

lamy`s are great fountain pens- steel nibs but still write fine. the wider nibs are not as scratchy

i have a couple of their art pens

on the average..........the older fountain pens seem to write a bit more "wet" than modern or contemporary fountain pens, which write dryer

I have a Lamy vista for general college use simply so I can see how much ink is left. I leave my more special stuff at home.

Interesting choice of paddle, I'm not as big into table tennis as I was in the past, but I've got a ton of paddles, (donic, butterfly, stiga, tibhar, a few chinese brands as well). But for now, all I collect is this:

@Sifo: I almost got into Zippo tricks a few years ago! Didn't pan out mostly because I have a short attention span, and I was more of a chicken back then.

Collect seems like too strong of a word.. but I have some habits/hobbies that I do like to indulge in moreso than others (aside from expensive computer and recording equipment!). The standouts would be digital indie games and soundtracks, Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab perfumes, and tea / tea-making paraphernalia including my own tea plant.

Haha I felt the same way when I brought a handful of Canadian pocket change to give to a friend in Germany! Then again we have coins called 'loonies' and 'twoonies' and she just thought that was silly.

Hah! The US has twenty-seven different dollar coins, so there!

24 different President dollars, two different Sacajawea dollars, and I'm pretty sure Susan B. Anthony dollars are still in circulation.

[And two-dollar bills, for that matter, I like to order them from the bank and use them for random purchases.]

Aren't there like, half dollar coins or something too?

I've got an old $2 Canadian bill saved. My favourite coin so far is the one pound coin, just love the weight and sound of it. Coins that baffle me the most: 1 and 2 cent Euro coins--so tiny!

Yeah, British pounds are quite heavy, when I was in Leeds and had some change in my pocket it felt like having ~10 euro worth of coins there

This is a keyboard forum, but some of us are hoarders at heart! Post pictures of stuff you collect!

Keyboard wise I have my LZ-S and GON NS 87... 6 keychains, and you've all seen my keycaps and stuff. My keyboard collection really isn't as huge as I'd like it to be.

Zippos: I've been collecting Zippos for 2-3 years now? I can do tricks with them and I like to play with them whenever I'm bored, and I love working out my fingers.

Gunnar Optiks: I wear these, prescribed, I get them for free. I have 3 pairs. There are pictures of me wearing the blue ones.

Show Image

TechKeys business cards: I don't have many, especially not duplicates. I am missing the GOLD one (ironic that I'd be searching for the #GOLD one?)

Show Image

Lapel Pins: I grab these everytime I go travelling, it started when I was young and travelled the east side of Canada. The shirt happens to be one of the ones I wore during said trip.
