Blip Blop Color

Executive toy consisting of a translucent plastic container, roughly 4" wide 6-3/4" tall x3/4" thick mounted on a swivel on a stand. The container has (1) clear and (2) colored, translucent immiscible fluids. Flip the container on the swivel and an ever changing series of blips and blops of color drift slowly down from the top to the bottom while bubbles and steams of clear rise from bottom to top. A mix of colors results as the blobs appear singly or overlap: red and blue single colors also yield purple patterns. Fascinating.

T-Ball?

T-Ball?

Clever, the way this little metal tool works while it keeps your fingers clean and safe. Squeeze and release the 4-1/2" long spring handle to open and close the 1-3/4" dia mesh ball. Fill the ball with jewelry, unwashed mineral samples, tea, fines herbs, whatever, then submerge it in jewelry cleaner, water, stew -- whichever seems to work best! Not intended for use at higher temperatures.

Helping Hands... and Eyes

We just wish there was something, anything, to do around here that required this thing, on account of it's so cool. Our newest Helping Hand has a pair of alligator clips on swiveling arms, likewise a 2-1/4" dia x 1.5X magnifier plus an LED flashlight on a gooseneck. Everything swivels every way there is and tightens with little thumbscrews-and some of the configurations look like it's maybe alive, and from Venus. Jewelry makers? Diamond cutters? Forensic scientists? Maybe we'll start making small electronics, or tying flies.

Almost Real

And close enough, because sometimes the threat of security will do. Our simulacamera looks like the real thing, even though it isn't, with an activation light and a quite real motion detector that causes the "camera" to pan from side to side. The unit measures 3-3/4" x 2" x 2" with a 1-1/4" dia lens. It's mounted on an adjustable 4" x 1-1/8" x 3/4" arm attached to 3-1/8" dia baseplate with (2) 3/16" mounting holes. The angle adjusts from 45 to 180 degrees, and the motion detector starts the head swinging 20 degrees in either direction for approx (15) seconds. Takes (2) "AA" batteries, not included, but does include mounting screws and mollies-and a tiny, tiny price.

Runs Like A Top

Actually, it runs like an electromagnetic top, which is to say for a week or so, or however long the 9V battery lasts, so the manufacturer says. As we type, the one on the desk has been spinning for a touch over (5) hours and doesn't look tired. The black-plastic base is 3-1/2" dia x 1-1/4" high, with a secret compartment for the battery - so you can lie to people about the mysterious physics of spinning tops. The 1" tall top itself is silver and oil-can shaped.

Magnehesive Tape

The ultimate in refrigerator-door decorating: a 25-foot roll of dark brown magnetic tape in a handy dispenser with a tear-off bar. Rip off a strip of tape, stick the sticky side to a photo, art project, or note and the magnetic side will hold it on a refrigerator door, file cabinet, or any other steel surface. Light duty, like all fridge magnets, so stick to notes and pix and other fluff.

Your Personal Barrel Of Crude

The real thing goes for about $60 these days, but you can own your very own mini-barrel of oil-black slime for a couple of bucks. Considerably slimier than our standard gloop, we'd rate it as good-n-runny. You'll get (4) slithery ounces in a little barrel marked "Caution." Non-toxic, but it could stain some things, so be careful of those oil spills.

One-Way Wizard Stone

Amuse and amaze your friends with this 3-3/4" long x 3/4" wide lozenge of glow-in-the-dark acrylic (so it's not a stone; so sue us) that will only spin counter-clockwise. Try it the other way and it wobbles to a stop and reverses itself. How does it do that? Go ask a wizard. And be careful around toddlers; it's swallowable.

Pen-Fan? Fan-Pen?

Or hot-flash deflector, or optical-illusion demonstration device. Or toy. Yes, to all of the above. Our 5-1/2" long brushed-aluminum, black-ink ballpoint pen has a (removable) little plastic fan blade in its noggin. Cool off at work, blow crumbs off the desk, or just turn it on and move the fan in and out from your computer screen and watch the phantom blades slow, stop or even reverse in the optical illusion called the "wagon wheel effect." Runs on a button-cell battery, included.

Peculiar Putty

Very strange stuff indeed. You get about an ounce of "Bouncing Putty," which is a moldable foam, but also makes an extremely light and handball-sized bouncer. Tear it in half and make two. Or in pieces and make dozens of little bouncing putty balls. Fun, and with lots of craft/arts possibilities. In assorted pastel colors, some alarming. We'll pick.
