Old Keyboard and Mouse Ports, Connectors and Adapters

One of my New Years resolutions was to clear out my old junk and organize.  I thought I'd share the old/vintage/classic adapters I've accumulated over the years. 

Here are some of the names I recall calling them (Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong):

5-Pin DIN  

DIN 5  

AT  Connector

RS-232

Serial mouse

PS/2

And No, I didn't throw them out.  I'll probably keep them for another 15-20 years...  til I decide to "Organize" once again.

DIY Wrench Organizer

Thank you GarageJournal.com for helping me with one of my new years resolutions!  To get organized!

Over the years, I've purchased and inherited quite a few miscellaneous wrenches.  They all ended up in my "Misc. Wrenches" drawer.

Since it was a miss-matched set with doubles and sometimes triples of one size, the commercial organizers didn't fit my needs.  (Not to mention they were pricey...)

Fortunately, the members of GarageJournal had a solution that fit my needs.  I wound a 14 gauge, solid copper wire around a broom handle with the number of "loops" I needed.

The result was perfect!
