I'm giving everything that hasn't been requested away (or selling it...) tomorrow.

If you already asked for some books, I've set them aside, but if you haven't already, you should either send me your address if you're not local, or tell me when you want to hang out if you *are* local. I have nothing to do this weekend except pack! Also, am in the East Bay and San Francisco tomorrow. (If you're local and want me to mail them, I will, but after grumbling about not getting to see you.)

I've got one more free CD post coming -- watch this space!

I'm trying to cut back on CDs even more radically, keeping ones I want to have in the car and relying on electronic format for everything else. So, if there's something here you like, assume I'll still be listening to it and I just don't need the physical medium. If there's something here that makes you question my taste in music, well, I probably never liked it in the first place.

Same deal as with books: definitely free for Bay Area people, willing to ship within reason to North Americans at no cost to you. I just want someone else to get some enjoyment out of some of these! Whatever doesn't go in a few days will get taken to Rasputin or Half Price Books.

I'm moving yet again, and am trying to cull my book collection. The following are free to any local people (Bay Area, probably even So. Cal since I'll be there soonish). I'm willing to ship paperbacks (P) for free to non-local people within North America. I'm more reluctant to ship hardcovers (H) but maybe we can make a deal. Feel free to link to this post; offer is open to people who don't know me!

I expect I'll end up donating all or most of these locally, of course, but I figured I'd offer in case a friend happens to have a burning desire for one of these. (This post is also to track what books I'm giving away so I can remember them later if needed.) Also, I reserve the right to sell anything that turns out to be worth any money, instead.

For the curious, I bolded books I've already read (and, obviously, didn't want to read again). Crossed-out ones are claimed.

ETA: There's more! Part 2

( Books! )

Hello internets,

I'm getting rid of some of my clever T-shirts that are either too big for me, or not so clever as per the test of time. If you want one or more of these, let me know. You can paypal me a few bucks for shipping or whatever, really, I'd just rather they go to someone who wants them, and am too lazy to sell things on eBay.

If pictures would help, then ask.

- "snm, I'll tell you where to go today" (parody of MSN logo) with pixelated hand flipping the bird (from Don't Panic). Size L, white.
- Shawn Colvin 1993 Fat City tour shirt (with image of Shawn Colvin resembling the one on the cover of _Fat City_ on the front). Size XL, black. (I really like this shirt, it's just too big for me.) claimed by dangerpudding
- women's symbol on front breast, this text on back:

Size M, white. claimed by cheshire
- Good Vibrations T-shirt with cartoon diagram of woman's head, caption "What Women Are Really Thinking About" (various fine Good Vibrations products, is the upshot). Apparently this was a limited-edition run for the Folsom Street Fair. Size L, white text on black. claimed by commodorified
- Everybody Loves Eric S. Raymond. Size L, black.
- On the flip side, this shirt ("Hacking Life" with glider design.) Size L, grey. (I can no longer stand to wear anything associated with ESR, whether pro- or anti-.) claimed by cheshire
- Multnomah County Library Summer Reading 2008 shirt with cartoon of bug saying "Read!" in various languages. Size XL, red.
- "MIT because... [front] not everyone can go to Wellesley [back]". Size XL, white. (I found that nobody gets this joke. Plus too big.) claimed by a non-DW-enabled friend
- "I'm blogging this" from ThinkGeek. Size L, white text on black. (This was only cool for a brief period of time. Okay, maybe it was never cool.) claimed by cheshire
- If you're in Portland, about 6 XL and XXL plain solid and striped T-shirts (too boring to mail).
