				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>KwartzLab Junkyard is tomorrow (Saturday the 10th) from 1 PM to 7 PM!  Come out to KwartzLab (283 Duke St W, Unit #106) to see what we Makers have been hoarding</p>
<p>Remember, everything you see here is donate-what-you-can/donate-what-its-worth and all proceeds go to the KwartzLab Big Tool Acquisition Fund!  We use that fund to help us acquire Big Tools like Laser Cutters, 3D printers, and CNC mills.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a lot of great stuff here, and I saved the best for last, so make sure to read all the way to the bottom&#8230;</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s get started, shall we? (pictures below the fold)</p>
<p><span id="more-1822"></span><a href="http://www.kwartzlab.ca/2011/09/kwartzlab-junkyard-tomorrow-check-out-our-junk/img_20110909_192930/" rel="attachment wp-att-1823"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1823" title="KwartzLazb Junkyard #1 - Pic #1" src="http://www.kwartzlab.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/IMG_20110909_192930-400x300.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>In this first photo, I spy:</p>
<ul>
<li>Some Wiimote-like things that plug into a USB port</li>
<li>Two honkin&#8217; 70VDC motors</li>
<li>A few project boxes</li>
<li>A 12VDC power supply</li>
<li>And a bunch of other stuff</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://www.kwartzlab.ca/2011/09/kwartzlab-junkyard-tomorrow-check-out-our-junk/img_20110909_192939/" rel="attachment wp-att-1824"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1824" title="KwartzLab #1 - Pic #2" src="http://www.kwartzlab.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/IMG_20110909_192939-400x300.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>In pic #2, I see:</p>
<ul>
<li>A CRT monitor</li>
<li>Two sets of speakers</li>
<li>Two scanners</li>
<li>A bunch of mice</li>
<li>Some headphones</li>
<li>A 12V motor with a car-power attachment</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://www.kwartzlab.ca/2011/09/kwartzlab-junkyard-tomorrow-check-out-our-junk/img_20110909_195544/" rel="attachment wp-att-1827"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1827" title="KwartzLab Junkyard #1 - Pic #3" src="http://www.kwartzlab.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/IMG_20110909_195544-400x300.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Now this is getting interesting&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li>We&#8217;ve got a Sound Mixer</li>
<li>A table microphone</li>
<li>A digital Qur&#8217;an</li>
<li>A digital drumkit (makes no noise, but the pads work)</li>
<li>Another set of speakers</li>
<li>And&#8230;. Could it be?  Real &#8220;DJ Pauly D Headphones&#8221;?  Who cares.  They work as headphones, though.</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://www.kwartzlab.ca/2011/09/kwartzlab-junkyard-tomorrow-check-out-our-junk/img_20110909_200748/" rel="attachment wp-att-1828"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1828" title="KwartzLab Junkyard #1 - Pic #4" src="http://www.kwartzlab.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/IMG_20110909_200748-400x300.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a few interesting and classic items:</p>
<ul>
<li>A Silver(?) drink serving set</li>
<li>A Hi-8 Camcorder</li>
<li>Another hand-scanner</li>
<li>And a couple of hand drill-presses (drill not included)</li>
</ul>
<p>And now&#8230; the picture you&#8217;ve all been waiting for&#8230;.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.kwartzlab.ca/2011/09/kwartzlab-junkyard-tomorrow-check-out-our-junk/img_20110909_202123/" rel="attachment wp-att-1829"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1829" title="KwartzLab Junkyard #1 - Pic #5" src="http://www.kwartzlab.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/IMG_20110909_202123-400x300.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>WOW!  This is amazing!</p>
<ul>
<li>Not one, but two <a href="http://one.laptop.org/">OLPCs</a>!</li>
<li>A bunch of robot things (including two robot dogs!)</li>
<li>That pink bag halfway back on the right?  That&#8217;s full of hairdryers!</li>
<li>4 monitors, 3 of them LCD! (though some of the LCDs are flaky)</li>
<li>2 whole computers!</li>
<li>And more!</li>
</ul>
<p>If those pictures aren&#8217;t enough to entice you to come out for KwartzLab Junkyard tomorrow, Saturday September 10th from 1 PM to 7 PM, I don&#8217;t know what is.  And this isn&#8217;t even everything that will be there! Members are still bringing more stuff out tomorrow!  You never know what you&#8217;ll find!</p>

<small>The Junk by The White Wοlf</small></p>
<blockquote><p><em>One Maker&#8217;s Trash is another one&#8217;s Treasure.</em></p></blockquote>
<ul>
<li>Where: <a title="Our Location" href="http://www.kwartzlab.ca/contact-map/">KwartzLab</a></li>
<li>When: September 10th, 2011 &#8211; 1 PM to 7 PM</li>
<li>What: A bunch of stuff that you can have!</li>
</ul>
<p>Looking for the last piece for a project?  Like scavenging though others&#8217; stuff to find useful tidbits?  Do you go to garage sales in hopes of finding a cool thingy?</p>
<p>Then come out to KwartzLab Junkyard on Sept 10th from 1 to 7PM and see what&#8217;s up for grabs at KwartzLab!</p>
<p>You see, makers are also sometimes hoarders.  Many of us have stuff we bought for projects that we never used, or just stuff we don&#8217;t want anymore.  So we&#8217;re going to put it on the tables and you can come and take it!</p>
<p>There&#8217;s only one thing we ask in return: That you donate whatever you think it&#8217;s worth to you to our Big Tool Acquisition Fund.  We won&#8217;t haggle.  Our BTAF is currently working on getting us a laser cutter, and there will be more after that!</p>
<p>So come on out and see what you can find!</p>
