I was thinking about this topic the other day so here’s what I came up with, in order of value to me:
1. My miniMac
2. My dad’s old Trek road bike
3. My Spain/China scrapbook
4. My binder of poetic works, now a tangible form of my electronic archive
5. My journal collection
Note what’s not on my list: my (former) car, cuz that’s still in Nowheresville, CO… Not my iPod, not some cool phone, not a dog, not an expensive pair of shoes (not that I buy those anyway!), not a TV (don’t have one of those either)...
So these things fall into two categories: creative works (that can’t be reproduced), and unusual but high-quality products that are useful (a.k.a. something that nerds of specific fields would like).
Anyway. Just kinda interesting.
