Sign In/Up! (It's Worth It!)
Genius Glasses
A non-PC product offering mockery for the optically challenged. Black framed spectacles with thick acrylic "lenses" that give the wearer the look of someone with inch thick lenses for tunnel vision but don't in fact affect your sight. A great addition to your mad scientist outfit!!

See Things Sideways
Through our little black-plastic right-angle viewer. It's a 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" hexagon, and Paul says that if you buy (2) you can see eye-to-eye with yourself, which is a little spooky. Great for a little light spying on the street, and if you find a way to stick it over the lens of a small digital camera, you'll get great candid shots.

Optic One
A "One gizmo does all" marvel. It really works as a binocular, magnifier/linen tester, and has a signaling mirror, and compass all in a roughly 1-1/2" sq x 3-3/4" long package. The bino eyepieces and objectives fold against the body with the objectives doubling as magnifiers when used alone. The signaling mirror makes a good examining table for bugs and seeds etc and is conveniently located under one of the lenses. It should make a good "going off to camp" gift!

A Girl with Colitis Goes By?
Wrongo. It's "a girl with kaleidoscope eyes," you doofus. And her peepers are just like this very excellent kaleidoscope with a big clear glass marble eye at one end, so everything you point it at is kaleidoscoped. You ought to see how cool the giant frog on our desk looks all split up into funky geometric patterns. And you could, if you bought this. And if you had a giant frog. The device is an 8-1/4" long x 1" dia cardboard tube covered with diffraction grating paper (we'll pick 2 different colors and/or patterns), with a triple FS mirror inside. Would make a honey of an inspirational tool for fabric designers and artists, too.

Spin It 'N' Grin
A nice little glow-in-the-dark optical toy. Spin the 3-3/4" steel disc (slowly) on its dimple and watch the GITD patterns change. Best in a darkened room, like a lot of things.

Eclipse-Grade Shades
"Not a toy," they say, and they're right. These are disposable, cardboard-frame sunglasses with the all-but-opaque lenses necessary for solar viewing. As we write this, the next solar eclipse is in Brazil-pack these.

Disposable, they have 7/8" dia plastic "gel" lenses mounted in a 1-1/2" x 5-3/4" paperboard holder with a snozzola cutout. They also work on 3D comics and other purchased items if you are too lazy to draw your own.

Hi–Yo Silver!
You remember Saturday mornings in '76. Sitting on the floor in front of the TV, eating sugary cereal right from the box. The Lone Ranger and Tonto, along with Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle, romping across the screen in all their cartoony glory. Well, we have the 2-1/2" x 1-15/16" collectible, full-color 1976 flicker card with the L.R. and his Indian friend Tonto thundering along on Silver and Scout, shooting lead (and silver) into the air. (It was unacceptable, even in the seventies and even if your were a daring and resourceful masked rider, to look like you were really trying to annihilate someone.) We're packing (4) identical cards together, so you can slip three of them into Christmas cards and send them to the kids who were sharing that cereal with you.
