Harris Educational's 'Build Your Own
Lightbulb, Telegraph' Kits

So maybe their website looks like it was designed by the Cyber Dsign Clan, but perhaps Harris Educational's website is meant to evoke a more simple time in web design to reflect the retro-gadget science kits they sell, including the 'Build Your Own Telegraph' kit ("Take Text Messaging to a Whole New Level!") or the 'Build Your Own Lightbulb' kit that allows students to create a real, functioning light bulb with a partial vacuum that burns for up to five minutes. They kits even look the part, with sturdy wooden bases -- none of that cheap plastic crap for my son's telegraph -- and metal switches. Although each kit is sold through a number of different retailers, it looks like each one rings up between $40 and $65 or so.

Hands on is the best science learning there is. Watching my 7th Grade science teacher shatter a banana with liquid nitrogen will always be indelibly frozen into my memory -- he never did explain why we had to be naked for it to work, though.

showerheadNifty showerhead has built-in electricity generator.
Water enters the shower head through the flow resrictor (1) then travels through the injector plate (2) which directs the water to the waterwheel (3). The water spins the magnetic waterwheel past the stator (4) of the field wincing (5). This hydroelectric generator develops the 2.5 volts at .31 amps which lights the PR-6 bulb.
The result? "The Showerstar will be sure to light up your evenings as the perfect addition to any romantic setting." I doubt it. The kind of person who would buy one of these would probably prefer taking a voltmeter into the shower than a partner. Link (Thanks, Simon!)

Photographer Naomi Harris


Photographer Naomi Harris 04/12/2005 03:56 AM
David Pescovitz: At "the f blog," Jenn Shreve writes:
 Images Assign 10 My husband recently turned me on to this fabulous New York photographer, Naomi Harris. Her portraits of humans are shot within a public context--a Rubiks Cube competition, a gathering of swingers, a Miami Beach retirement community, spring break, a porn star academy--and expose the paradoxical relationship between the individual and the system they are acting within. She captures moments that brilliantly juxtapose the fantasy stage drop with the banal details that undermine its desired effect. She is one of a rare few female photographers to document the porn world, though, frankly, the art world’s current obsession with the adult industry is starting to wear extremely thin. I found her Rubik’s cute, retirement photos, and spring break coverage more intriguing. Not (all are) office safe, unless you work somewhere kinky.

Stawrars.com updated with a cool new article for all you model kit fans out there. AMT-Ertl has the U.S. market with 15 newly packaged classic kits plus 4 new Episode III kits. In Europe, Revell will be selling 5 new Episode III kits. The only crappy thing about it all is that the ARC-170 and AT-RT are European exclsuives and the Droid Tank is a U.S. exclsuive. I guess that's why they call it collecting!

David Pescovitz: LSD-model-M
Howard Lovy's NanoBot points us to a site selling plastic model nanotube kits. They sell other fun molecular model kits too, including cocaine, caffeine, THC, and, of course, lysergic acid diethylamide.
"LSD is a strong hallucinogen. A rough form, ergotamine, which can occur in stored rye grain, is believed to have been the cause of the odd behaviour which triggered the Salam witch trials. This model of LSD can be used in conjuction with molecular model kits of other street drugs as part of drug awareness programs."
