Read Into The Night...

with this small but clever light! The nice, dark-smoked-plastic book light will stand securely on a flat surface, or hold tight to a book cover with the 4-1/2" long x 1-3/4" wide paper-clip style base. The tiny-but-bright white LED lamp has an even tinier slide switch, and an 8" long covered wire that you can bend to hold in any position. Runs on (3) included AG13 button cell batteries that work, but are reaching their shelf life, which explains why they're lighting up our life.

RFID-Blocker Sheet

Saves you from info-snatching electronic pickpockets, and from leaning against the gas pump and emptying your bank account. (The downside of Radio Frequency IDentification.) Called the "EMvelope," it's an 8-3/8" x 3-1/2" x .012" thick trim-able electromagnetic sheet (think Faraday cage with a floating ground) that blocks radio frequencies up to 2.4GHz. Cut it to size and slip it in your wallet, or wherever, and protect the data on your credit cards, "fast-pay" devices, ID cards, EZ-Pass, or anything else with an embedded RFID chip, including the new U.S. passports.

Good for gifties, party favors, centerpieces, like that.

Growin' Bones

Warning!  WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.

Put this lovely red-eyed skeleton in a tub or bucket for a couple of days and he'll grow from a skinny 9 inches (approx) to a robust and disgusting foot and a half or more, with a nicely creepy facial expression. We'll pick one in green, purple, or another Halloween-appropriate, semi-nauseating color. Shrinks back to the original size when dry, for ease of storage.

Mr. Galileo's Thermometer

Return with us now those thrilling days of the 17th century, the predigital world when things were more interesting, and more tasteful. This version of G.G.'s thermometer is the most elegant we've seen, with no bright, discordant colors spoiling the science. It's a simple, 11" tall, clear-glass tube on its own 2-7/16" dia base, with (5) globes full of opaque white fluid, and plain silver tags, floating inside. Globes run from 64°F/18°C to 80°F/26°C in 4°F/2°C-degree increments. Includes instructions and a silver plastic sleeve that slides over the cylinder to give it a more 21st century look, but we'd skip that. Ruins the aesthetic.
