How to identify stuff

I found this cool website, where you can post pics of stuff you dont' know the name or function of. Requires just a Wordpress account, which you probably have if you read me anyway. I can never remember my wordpress password, I have written it down on a sticker under my desk-drawer.

I hope to identify this apparently electronic in nature do-hickey using reckonthatis.com . Happy surfing.

Update: A better link here http://reckonthatis.com/?p=245 I also added it to the flickr electronics porn group.
