My mother's chorus is having an online auction with tons of cool New Orleans stuff, as well as other not-particularly-related-to-New-Orleans stuff.
For example, if you're a Broadway fan, there's a crazy amazing set of signed Kinky Boots memorabilia. Please take a look and send this link on to anyone who might be interested.
I have two pieces of superseded hardware that are free to anyone that wants to pick them up (West LA). I'll Goodwill them in a couple weeks if there's no interest.
1: Epson C6280 All In One--scan, print, copy colour inkjet. It's about three or four years old and the only reason I'm replacing it is because I don't print often enough and am wasting inkjet cartridges. Wired Ethernet, plus slots for storage media. It's pretty small for an all in one, having been resting peacefully in my living room for a few years.
2. Samsung C450 sound bar with wireless subwoofer. It's probably 3 years old, being replaced because I wanted one that has bluetooth connection. This one accepts optical digital audio in.
Contact me in natter or by email if you are interested.

Kraft says they accidentally packaged 96,000 pounds of cheese wieners in regular wiener packaging.
Tomorrow is NASA global selfie day. Take a picture of yourself outdoors and tag it #globalselfie on twitter, FB, flickr, instagram or google+ (why no tumblr, NASA????).
