Day 89 - Old Wall Clock
Fun little clock... would tick backwards, followed by a double tick forwards. It's been garaged for a decade though, so time to go.

Day 88 - Old First Person Shooter Game
This one was a lot of fun, the plot line wasn't reprehensible (defending the ship against hostile alien invaders), and cheats to unlock the goods were readily available.

Day 87 - Old VB Book From Costco
Not sure why I bought this one...probably back in the day when we build server side COM MTS components using J++, integrated into IIS using ISAPI pre COM+ days.

Day 86 - Old Technical Books
These were actually complementary copies of books I tech edited on the side for Sybex, back in the day.

Day 81 - Half My Old Painting Supplies
Why keep two boxes of painting stuff to not paint with, when I can not paint with a single box of supplies?

Day 80 - Cannondale Mountain Bike Shirt
Affiliation with road cycling and knowledge of the Official Rules of the Eurocyclist renders this garment unwearable. Plus it's an XL and road riding has whittled me down to an M.

Day 76 - Gevalia Coffee Container
Gevalia Coffee Kaffe canister... unused, easily replaced if the need for overpriced average tasting coffee ever strikes.

Day 74 - Unneeded Soap Dispenser
Bought a new faucet the included a matching soap dispenser - no need to keep this one, which incidentally did not fit and sat if the garage for several years.

Day 72 - Corporate Hat
Nothing will rally the troops than being given a hat with your project's name on it... apart from cash, dinners, paid leave, bigger workspace, new computers, car service, training, conference attendance, better parking, jeans days, etc.

Day 71 - A Shoe
Second half of a pair of child's shoes, the first half of which had been disposed of several months earlier.

Day 69 - Books on Legacy Microsoft Technology
From the olden days before dot net... when men were men and could bootstrap any endeavor with IUnknown... when COM threading models provided grist for the conversation mill.

Day 68 - Oracle Version 6 SQL Manual
From back in the day when a printed manual was a prized possession... before online documentation and Safari books online...

Day 65 - Triathlon Race Kit
I can scarcely believe I ever wore this get up. Thinking about this the other day was so startling that I almost dropped my leg-shaving razor onto my skin suit.

Day 64 - Apple Fanfare T-Shirt
A much hyped UI improvement with Donald Norman behind it. Managed to survive the crush at the WWDC to snag one, only to look at it back how and thing, "now what?"

Day 62 - Metroworks Code Warrior Shirt
I actually regret (well sort of) not being able to wear this as I'm down to an M from an XL. Hats off to the crew at Metroworks - I remember the transition to this compiler cutting compile time from 30 minute to 2 minutes - that's the sort of leap that will make you weep with joy.

Day 60 - Xmas Lights
Xmas lights the reportedly had slightly different color than the strands they were meant to supplement, which meant in addition to buying these two, it meant buying n + 2 and getting rid of the previous lot to make sure the colors matched.

Day 59 - Bike Tire Pressure Gauge
My shop pump has one built in, and I wouldn't carry this with me on a ride, so what's the point?
