Hey guys, for a while now I've been looking for some people to go out an do some urban exploration in burque.
Anyone have some info on the urbex community of abq? If so, I am interested.
Also, been wanting to find some travelers in this city. I'm talking like train hoppers, hitch hikers, etc. Wanna get to know some people to show me the ropes.

Does anybody know of a good place to sell my read novels and my manga that is in excellent condition? I know that Page 1 is a place, but I got burned there a while ago. Is it the best deal in town or is there somewhere better?

TIA

Solar Eclipse

winterlillies — Sat, 19 May 2012 07:19:14 GMT

Did anyone see KOAT tonight about where to get a sheet of film for the solar eclipse? I didn't get a chance to write down the name of the business that is selling precut pieces of it for $2. I'd like to go down and buy one tomorrow. Thank you!

Should be a great time! Please reshare!

Round frames

zerozander — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 00:29:17 GMT

Does anyone know of any place in town that carries thin, round eyeglass frames?

Round. Like a circle.

Not "trendy" rectangular or oval. Completely round. Like Steve Jobs and Harry Potter. Thin metal. Not thick-plastic-round like Harold Lloyd.

Thanks.

Quelab Albuquerque’s Maker/Hackerspace is a great place to tinker with electronics, and to take apart old things and build new and exciting things, its better than recycling, its upcycling. But we are drowning in castoffs spares and other gadgets. Help us empty our closets, and help yourself by emptying out your old closets of unused tech stuff. We are doing an indoor Swapmeet! Rather than standing around in the cold doing a yardsale, we are opening up inside, to host a Recycle your Junk Swap-meet.

Stay warm with Hot Cider and Coffee (Coffee thanks to http://www.aromacup.com/ )

Think of it as a Ham Radio Swap-Meet with even more interesting stuff! Its hard to categorize what all will be there, but a simple list would likely include, computers, laptops, gadgets, books, parts, cameras, optics, radios, toys, printers, test equipment, tools and possibly even furniture, lighting and craft supplies!

This is open to members and the public, everyone is encouraged to bring things to trade or sell! Donate whatever percent of the sale you feel like to Quelab! All Proceeds go towards buying parts supplies, consumables, and other operational expenses.

Replacement CD cases

zerozander — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 22:13:39 GMT

Thanks.

Accessible Apartments

mereprototype — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 21:46:35 GMT

Given the way our current apartment's maintenance and management have gone downhill, my girlfriend and I are strongly considering looking for a new place over the next 6-9 months. The biggest trouble with that, though, is that we both have mobility issues and need a place on the first floor, or at least an elevator, as the only accomodation. We're both students, so if it's not close to UNM and CNM, at least being on a bus line is a requirement too.

We know that we'll have to pay more than the $500/month we're currently paying -- that includes all utilities and pet fees -- but it'd be nice to find somewhere not too much more expensive. Does anyone have suggestions on possible locations to look into?

Chock Full of Nuts?

grygon — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 17:52:38 GMT

Is the coffee brand Chock Full of Nuts sold here in Albuquerque? Their website says that they are based in New York but I can't find anything on if they also distribute elsewhere.

My aunt died this weekend and one thing she told me and some friends I brought over one day was she wanted her ashes put in one of these coffee cans. (there just might be one in her cupboard but I won't be able to find out until the service since she lives out of town) Everyone laughed, and it was so HER. I will be getting some ashes to make jewelery out of for me and anyone else who wants something to wear to remember her, and storing some to spread in her mountains and ruins next year and I'd like to store them in one of these cans.

So, any idea? Anyone here have one they can freecycle to me? I've asked the freecycle as well but just in case thought I'd post here, since stories of why you are requesting something are discouraged over there.

In case I need them....

zerozander — Sat, 16 Jul 2011 01:57:21 GMT

I'm looking for S-Video, composite and VGA cables. I may also be in the market for audio cables too. Radio Shack only had rather long VGA cables for near $30 bucks. Sandia Computers was closed when I showed up at the late night hour of 5:00 pm. Where else can I go to find shorter cables for less money in ABQ? I'd rather buy them at a store than online.

Thanks.

cardboard and metal

zerozander — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 02:17:35 GMT

I've got a lot of cardboard and metal in my garage. I'm pretty sure I'd like to sell the metal for scrap, so where can I go for that. As for the cardboard, is there a place that will buy it off me? Names of businesses and/or locations would be extra helpful. Thanks.
