They're Off!
Armed with orange-rubber squeeze bulbs, the Techie Team is blowing through the dust bunny races! Okay, it's a little exaggeration. They're not full-grown dust bunnies, they're dust specks. And the Techies are just blowing them off circuit boards, electrical contacts, and vintage Motown platters. But the 4" x 2" dia bulb with a 1/2" x 1/8" ID brass tube on the end has greater precision and a much longer shelf life than an aerosol duster, and provides more fun than they would ever have at Hialeah!

Rubber Soul
…to frame a snapshot of your soulmate. Soft, pliable rubber picture frame with rounded corners is 3-3/4" x 3" x 1-1/8" deep. It extends 5/16" behind the picture so it can hang on a nail or push-pin, but it's chunky enough to sit, unsupported, on your desk showing off your business card, or your soulmate. Double glass inside, so it's reversible in case you have two soulmates. You'll get chocolate, cafe au lait, or saffron color -- our pick.

Rube Goldberg Lives!
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
And in the kitchen. Lose the pics of the dog and build your very own marble track device on the fridge door. Comes with (11) pieces: (2) 8" and (2) 6" rails, (2) curvy 11" switchback rails, a "tornado funnel," a 3" dia spinning wheel, a couple of counterweighted spinning buckets and a catch box--all held on by magnets--plus a dozen marbles, because you're going to lose a few under that fridge. It's all done in high-fashion lime green and purple plastic and if mathematics works, there ought to be 100 possible Goldbergian combinations. CJ calls it very cool, and we trust him.

A Working Wonder
If we had a category just for customers who lust after Jules Verne inventions and elegant gadgetry, this would be in it. The wonderful brass sundial, a reproduction of an antique, is approx 3" dia x 11/16" thick overall, and actually works! A latitudinal gauge lets you tilt the engraved dial to the correct angle for your location, and a bubble and three leveling feet allow the 1-1/2" dia lock-down compass to point in the precise direction. And if you never took it out into the sunshine, you'd still love it for the look and logic of it.

Ten Bucks To The Canary Islands
It's just like being in the Canary Islands…and looking through the Slooh Observatory telescope perched on the top of Mt. Tiede. This card works like a pre-paid phone card. You sign onto the observatory's website, enter the number from your card, and you've got (50) minutes of real-time viewing through the telescope, displayed on your computer screen. And if you're in, say, Chicago, Mt. Tiede is 6 hours ahead of you so you can do daytime viewing of a nighttime sky! All you need is a Mac or PC with an Internet access speed of at least 56K. Lots of viewing options, including archived missions and event notification. You can even designate an object to view and schedule your time to view it. Go to www.slooh.com for a description of the program. Very, very cool.

Magnehesive Tape
The ultimate in refrigerator-door decorating: a 25-foot x 3/4" wide 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.

Flame Without Fear
Imagine a lovely flickering votive candle in a frosted glass holder. Now imagine one that will never set the bedroom drapes on fire while you're having visions of sugarplums. This clever, 2-3/8" tall x 1-5/8" dia white electro-candle, with a single yellow LED, flickers like the real thing inside its 5-3/8" tall x 2-1/2" dia frosted white glass votive holder. (Or in some other appropriate candle holder that you already own.) You add a pair of "AAA" batteries and sleep like a baby.
