Hi, 
My name is Jerry.  

I'm the manager at B&B Pawn here in Norfolk, and have been a native Norfolkian geek for 20 years now and I had the first dialup BBS with a CD rom drive back in 93 (to be honest I can't remember the name; it ran on a bunch of 'donated' Z248s when I was in the Navy; divorce #1).  I've been lurking the list for a bit now and thought I would introduce myself.   I met/donated/sold a bunch of stuff to the group back in December.  I don't make a lot of free time so I haven't been able to meet many of you in person.  I hope to make a pilgrimage of a few blocks to actually see the facility in person soon. 

I have some skills with Atmel MCUs and general digital electronics, my analog skills have alas, mostly gone to rot.  My friends and I have direct channel communication to Atmel for help.  We have done some great work with at home PCB fabrication.

I also have an app on the Apple store that I wrote and published myself : Secure Channel: http://www.securechannelapp.com/ that I would love to port to android and other platforms with some help.  I can help with anyone wanting to sell iphone apps or dealing with cryptography registration with BIS.

Currently I'm working on a cryptographically secure social network website and getting OpenPGP to the iPhone and Android like (Ipgmail and APG).  

I consider myself an elder geek and have been delinquent in my duties of passing knowledge down. 

Alas, with the times, I need to sell off some of my personal collection.  Ethan said it was Ok, so here is some of it. I have not posted to Craig's List or Ebay yet but will have to in a few days (mortgage companies are a bitch.)  

Older White Macbook 2.2C2D 120GB HD 10.6 - $300 cash to friends
Macbook Pro 2.4 C2D 4GB Ram 500GB HD Low use battery, Nvidia 8500M discrete - don't really want to sell but - $600
Apple G4 Tower - The one that was banned for export - G4 400ghz 1.5gb Ram 150GB HD DVD Burner 10.4.11 - $100
AMD X2 5kBlack system with Linux 2G ram odd hard drive I don't remember (will not run XP for some reason) - Make reasonable offer
A couple of other older single core systems in various states of repair - make offer.
Xbox 360 with a bunch of FPS games - $200

2 - Roomba's with dead batteries - make offer
Various other AV Audio Studio Items and I have a large junk box, hit me up if you need esoteric items.

tldr;
I'm also looking for a few other self proclaimed geeks to meet and call friends.

Thanks for listening,
Jerry
