Odd, random things on your desk/in your workspace?

My Joey Hand SEMA LEGO, VIR track map, valve as a reminder (not mine), amd other assorted things...

What did you cut into the hockey puck for? And assuming it is for a jack pad... Why off centered so much?

My desk is a typical ADHD desk. Always a mess. I currently have mail everywhere, hockey tape, my referee crest, a putter headcover, usb cable, 2 hockey pucks (unmodified), unused/not plugged in power strip, swiss army knife, leatherman, and a headlight polishing set that I meant to put to use 2 months ago when it arrived in the mail. 

In reply to Duke :

They are from a series called "Take a Seat" by Raine. I guess they came out around the turn of the century. My business partner loaned me the Eames because I gave him a Minichamps car for his desk. They seem to be ceramic, heavy and detailed.

I have the screen for photoetching a circuit board my grandfather designed and built, including his radio call sign that I inherited.

Also a die-cast of an MX-5 Global Cup car. But not any Global Cup car, one of the original prototypes. And not any of the prototypes, but the one I came within a couple of weeks of running in the 2015 Targa Newfoundland. Such a missed opportunity.

The Commodore Business Machines calculator (which works on Polish notation and runs on a 9V battery) that I used in high school.

A couple of ball bearings that my high school girlfriend gave me as baoding stress balls. She bought them at the parts counter at a Caterpillar dealership, I wish I could have seen both sides of that transaction :)

Plus some old Soviet aircraft clocks, some Lego and a lava lamp.

My participant award from the 20th Solo II Nationals in 1992.

Chair for the gecko?

that was mostly printed with a ultimaker, which kinda sucked. I've been slowly rebuilding it using my Bambu Lab Carbon X1, which doesn't suck. Its berkeleying awesome actually.

Gecko? The Owl in the back?

Those who know their $2000 Challenge history might recognize this:

Because if the interest here is the whole keyboard. 

Y'alls desks are way too neat. If I put anything like that on my desk would get pushed off on the floor within a week.

At least for my pic, I zoomed in. My desk is currently a disaster with little room for much.

I was thinking the Geico gecko. Been inundated by those commercials lately...

I got this from my Grandmother- it's from the Expo in Montreal in 1967 - she rarely left Chicago so I have no idea where she got it.  I believe back in the day Japan made the low cost tin toy cars too. 

It's funny to change it in the morning like now I can start my day cause it's been updated.
