Send me your old computer books or computer-adjacent math books (like number theory) that you find interesting. Alternatively, books about cooking or photography are fine. It doesn’t have to be books... music is also fine, especially electronic music. But please don’t send “quirky” or “clever” computer shirts. “home is where I get sudo access” is pretty cringy. I like old video games and I want to be a mac plus when I grow up. No weed please, feel free to keep it and smoke it or eat it or cook with it and send me those good vibes with your weed mind powers. Also no tobacco (I don’t smoke). sb hermit fucked around with this message at 08:39 on Nov 19, 2018 |

EDIT: Los Angeles has a few weed delivery services so I guess they have a way to keep it legal somehow sb hermit fucked around with this message at 18:37 on Nov 20, 2018 |

 ok I’m officially in. I’m a two time yosmas host so it’s nice to just participate for a change. I already have all the panda paraphernalia I can stand. maybe a calendar would be nice, or if you can get something from your local zoo that wouldn’t be available to me here. I have a full electronics rework setup, so maybe a cool solder-it-yourself project would be cool? I also have some old computers (mac se30, win2k box) and might be able to appreciate some weird old computer swag. game boy/color or PlayStation portable stuff would also be welcome, I’m sort of passively collecting it. I don’t really wear t-shirts and I’m hard to find clothes for anyway. I don’t drink and I have all the weed I need so please don’t get me in trouble with the mail police

I’m in. this is my post from last year, slightly edited, because it worked out very well for me: Hooray for yosmas! I'll pretty much be happy with whatever, if you have a better idea than the stuff I have listed go for it and follow your heart. It is my I like: * hacker stuff, especially if it's old * the whole vaporwave aesthetic thing * dad-ing * dogs * beer, wine, bourbon, etc * spicy food * the whole 80s d&d aesthetic * left-wing politicse No thanks on: * drugs (that aren't alcohol) * porn-ish stuff I have: * a toddler, he is perfect in every way * a smelly 70lb poodle mutt who is a very good boy (he doesn't need gifts or anything, but he is a good boy) * a Switch and a Vita. I have a PS4, too, but hardly play it because #dadlfye I wear an XL ps this is my dog laying on my son’s bed, I like him lots

I'm in I'm in my early (ugh... mid?) 30s, have been developing software for about 10 years, mostly GIS and big data stuff. I live in Seattle with my wife and (good) dog. I like: * funy computer * old computer * old/cool maps and stuff, can be of any subject but I'm from southern louisiana so that region is especially cool * funy computer clothing, or weird clothing in general (I'm a size large) * Motorcycles/Fixing motorcycles * Shotgun sports (trap/skeet/sporting clays) * Football (especially LSU and Saints football) Drugs and porn are great but please none of that in the mail
