When walking around a surplus store, like #AxMan in #MSP I’m filled with ideas of how to use every little doodad on the shelves. Same goes for a really great, old hardware store.

But visiting a big box hardware store, nothing. They have a vast profusion of the most limited variety. It’s an effort to fit their limited offerings into my real world projects.

Big box stores murder creativity at their entrances.

Stopped into #Minneapolis's Ax-Man surplus today. I wasn't looking for anything specific, but did pick up some jokes.

When you’re in Minneapolis you visit #AxMan #Surplus. I’m fairly sure that’s a rule.
Needed some odds and ends today, and I found myself at #AxMan #surplus

attn Minneapolis locals doing retro datacenters there's a bunch of cisco gear at the St Paul ax-man

three Cisco 2600 for $15 each

i bought the 2800 🙃

i believe these are usable for bridging in to #GlobalTalk
