I’ve been keeping two Altoids tins around on my desk for over two years “in case I need them for something.” I think I envisioned some sort of Arduino-based Altoid-housed mobile telephone.

I realized today that these two tins were interfering with my ability to properly and thoroughly clean my office desk so, though it pained me greatly, I threw them away.

With the new bed we bought last month, this places me even closer to the Bruce Sterling image of nirvana.
