A few years ago, I did a small job for someone on reddit.com, designing a PCB with six buttons connected to a spark core footprint. The person who I was doing the favor for later sent me a spare board that I never ended up using, but sort of hung on my wall like art.

This lead me to realize that there are plenty of hackers who have stacks or stashes of faulty/unused PCBs, most of which will never be used. A well designed, well made PCB is like art: a complex canvas filled with maze-like traces and speckled with vias. In my opinion, every PCB is beautiful, and should be shared with the world.

So, I created this project with the goal of collecting everyone else's spare boards, taking pictures of them, and putting this collection on the internet for all to see. In the process, I am to elevate the practice of electronics CAD to a high art.
