Received the Travelling Hacker Box on my first day back from a quick vacation. I waited until the following day to open it at work to find a bunch of little goodies waiting inside.
Digging thought the box it wasn't until I got to the very last item that I found something that really interested me. Buried at the bottom of the small plastic box was a USB snake camera/light. I figured this would be a nice tool to have both at home fixing cars and at work diagnosing routing issues in cramped areas of the radio station that I work at.
In return for the camera I added a pair of switches and missile covers to the box. My original intent was to use them as a grounding switch for turntables. Along with the switches I included what is left of my original Kindle Fire. I was hoping to wipe the entire device but due to the touch functions not working I decided to remove the main logic board and battery. I hope that someone can still find a use for the screen and enclosure.
Tomorrow I hope to add some goodies and ship it off to its next destination!

I cant wait for my turn with the box as well......I wonder how long it will take before it make it to Maine?
Are you sure? yes | no
I think the sequence of box recipients will be determined by who creates the finest shrine to @Benchoff. Interestingly, the box is currently on it's way to NH (that must seem tantalizingly close for you...), but I have no idea where it will be going after that.

I know some particular HaD.io user who seems to be doing a good job at shrine-building ;)

Lucky score on that borescope, Kyle.
I'm looking forward to my turn with the box. I'm seeing a few interesting things in there that probably won't make it past New Hampshire. Don't worry, I've got some equally interesting things to put back into the box. Not sure if I'll say anything publicly or just surprise the next person who gets the box.
