Space Food for Everyone Science museums are really cool places with tons of wonderful learning experiences available to the public. You can walk through giant heart models, see dazzling laser displays, even gawp at actual moon landers. But let's face it, the best part of every science museum is normally in a bin near the cash register: freeze dried ice cream. Four of the tastiest words in the English language. But thanks to us, you can now get the ice cream astronauts eat without the risk of accidentally learning anything. Yay! Each package of Astronaut Ice Cream is made with state-of-the-art yummy food technology. First made by the Whirlpool Corporation (yup, the washer/dryer people) for the Apollo missions, freeze dried ice cream has been a favorite of geeks ever since. We have three flavors to offer you. The "original" flavor most often found in museums is neapolitan (chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla) - and we also have mint chocolate chip (cool and delicious) and chocolate... See less

Without a doubt one of the coolest spacefarers of all times is Han Solo. There was just something about his swagger that made every girl fall in love with him and every guy want to be him (and let's face it, some guys fell in love with him and some girls wanted to be him).

The Future of OCD One of the single greatest gifts (and curses) to anyone who is a little anal retentive is bubble wrap. Sure it's good for protecting packages, but the real joy is popping each and every bubble. You can't let even one survive or your mission as bubble popper has failed. But what happens when you desire the joy of popping bubble wrap but don't have the time to invest in popping a full 60' roll? Welcome to the future, my friends; electronic bubble wrap is here. Each keychain device has 8 rubbery little "bubble" buttons. They have a pretty close tactile feel to actual bubble wrap. Guess what happens when you push one? That's right, you hear a little pop. In a nutshell, that is the simple beauty of the electronic bubble wrap keychain. But there is one bonus, and here's where the OCD can kick in a little. Every 100th "pop" is not a pop at all, but a silly sound: a boing, a bark, a rude noise, etc. And since you can easily pop (pun intended) the keychain in your pocket,... See less

Riff on This! The oldest drums discovered (so far) have been from around 6000BC. What this means is pretty clear: humans like hitting things; humans like music; and humans like hitting things to make music. We like hitting things too - and we love music. So good thing for everyone we found these Finger Drums. Stop hitting your mugs and monitor and telephone with pens and start tapping a real beat on your Finger Drums drum set. Each drum set features five touch sensitive percussive instruments. You get three smaller drums (snare and two toms), bass drum (with working pedal), and crash cymbal. All you have to do is hit them with your fingers to get a beat a-rockin'. You'll also get a mini light show, as each drum (and cymbal) lights up on impact. And the super cool thing is the record feature. Got a good riff going? Then record it and play it back ad nausuem. This feature has many uses, but we find it's perfect for joke telling. Record your own sting and play it back after each punch... See less

The word of the day is: Anthropomorphize! We do it every day, though mostly without thinking about it - we get angry at the stapler that mangled our presentation, or the phone when it can't get a signal. We say we "love this coffee mug," and sometimes we even imagine a face on the clock on the wall. It's called anthropomorphizing, and it's where we imbue human characteristics to inanimate objects. But are they really inanimate? Certain mythologies suggest that the more we use and include these objects in our daily lives, the more connected they become with our lives, thoughts and feelings. They are pleased when we use them, and are sad when they're discarded. Think back to that stuffed monkey doll you had when you were a kid. You threw him away one day, and there he sits - vacuously staring at rotting garbage in a landfill for all eternity. Not very nice at all! So some of these objects can be construed as to have a personality. Why not make it official? Stick a couple of googly eyes,... See less

Dancing Desktop Jellies Blackbeard was just about the most ruthless pirate ever. His management style was unique, to say the least. If one of his crew misbehaved, he would drop them in a large tank full of jellyfish and delight as the jewels he kept at the bottom of the tank reflected different colors into the ballet of agony that played out before him. According to the infamous pirate's diaries, it really calmed his nerves, too. Wow. Well, while we don't recommend all that for your office, there is something we can take from this story: colorful jellyfish are relaxing. This desktop tank holds three jellyfish which "swim" around the tank (thanks to a gently contrived current). In the top of the tank are 6 bright LEDs, which let you set the mood. You can either have them blend softly from one color to the next, or stop on your favorite color. Either way, the jellies are happy to frolic in their kaleidoscopic, quiet menace. And if one of your subordinates ever acts up, just remind him or... See less

Yes. It's Levitating. Really. Of course it's using MAGIC to do so - the magic of magnetic repulsion and attraction that is. The Levitron is a magnetic anti-gravity top that is just as fun to setup as it is to watch in motion. Basically, you just use the included top weights to adjust to the perfect weight (which varies from location to location and surface to surface), then you adjust the legs on the base. Then spin the top, slowly lift the lifter (with top on it) until the top escapes the platform and release! Voila. A top levitating in mid air. And depending on how well you set it up, it will spin up to five full minutes! Wave your hand underneath (or anything non-metallic), and amaze your family and co-workers! And all this with no batteries - sheer magnetic wizardry! Of course it is not a piece of cake to setup. You have to observe it carefully as you are making the appropriate adjustments to the weight and to the base. It can be challenging but the reward is well worth it. Move... See less

The Holy Grail - Part II The last time you saw the Killer Rabbit, it was blown to bits by the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. But that was just the beginning of the poor Rabbit's saga. You see, Tim the Enchanter, bored after the party broke up, resurrected the feared bunny and sent it back to live in the hills. That's where it met another killer bunny, and they bred like…well, rabbits. Tim returned years later as owner and guide of "The Holy Grail Filming Location Tour" and realized how wrong his decision had been. Instead of one Killer Rabbit, there were now thousands of them. After the tour group fled and filed a major class action lawsuit against Tim, he had to do something to recoup his losses. He conjured a giant mallet and began pounding the Killer Rabbits into slippers, which he sold. The slippers were an instant hit, and Tim now happily resides in a beach house in Malibu. Alas, after a few months the Killer Rabbit was declared an endangered... See less

I have to admit, at first, I didn't like this too much. It just seemed too messy and disjointed, as some of the live performances of certain tracks are like cut-and-paste collages featuring bits of footage taken from various different concerts and spliced together - sometimes within a single song. But, after watching this quite a few times, I started to appreciate the artistic quality in this -- as well as having fun watching these three in action. This footage was mostly recorded during the 1991-1992 era during the release and popularity of their _Nevermind_ album, and as a result, you aren't going to hear any tracks beyond the _Nevermind_ era (_Incesticide_ was mostly recorded in 1990, but released in 1992, so that really doesn't count.) You get to witness the "backstage" or offstage antics of Kurt Cobain, Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic, and as you witness their tomfoolery, you realize that these three "weirdos" were meant for each other, as they seem to be in sync with one another,...

Pirate Hold 'Em, Anyone? In between long campaigns of violence, pillaging, cursing, and other socially unacceptable forms of behavior, pirates had a lot of "down time." And since they were at sea, there were very few activities which could relieve their ennui. Some whittled new legs for their friends, others styled their facial and/or chest hair, while still others worked on cabaret acts. After a while, though, even those diversions became tedious. What was a pirate to do? Legend has it while on one such long sea voyage, an unnamed pirate said something like, "This be boring. Let's play cards." All it takes is one visionary and the whole world can change overnight. We present this beautiful deck of 54 cards with a distinctive pirate feel; the face cards even have portraits of famous pirates. Also included are one "lucky" golden doubloon replica and a pouch to carry the cards in. Put it all in its plunderously delicious presentation box and you have a great gift for the pirate in your...

The Peaceful Progression Wake-Up Clock. More gentle than the jarring noise of traditional alarms, this clock uses a gradual increase in ambient light, stimulating aromas, and peaceful sounds from nature to awaken sleepers. Easy to use, simply set the desired wake up time, place some aromatherapy beads (included) into the aroma bowl, and choose a natural sound setting. Thirty minutes before wake-up, the clocks light begins to glow softly, subtly brightening over the next half hour. As the light increases, the warmth from the lamp releases faint aromatherapy scents into the air to stimulate the olfactory senses, speeding the waking process. Fifteen minutes before wake up time, the clocks speaker generates the sleepers choice of soft, yet lively nature sounds, and at the set wake up time a buzzer sounds to finish the cycle. The alarm can also be used to awaken using only sound, or just the buzzer. Sound selection includes Nightfall, Thunder Storm, Zen Melody, Mountain Stream, Songbirds,... See less

Dude, where's my Jetpack? It’s the twenty-first century and let’s be honest—things are a little disappointing. Despite every World’s Fair prediction, every futuristic ride at Disneyland, and the advertisements on the last page of every comic book, we are not living the future we were promised. By now, life was supposed to be a fully automated, atomic-powered, germ-free Utopia - a place where a grown man could wear a velvet spandex unitard and not be laughed at. Where are the ray guns, the flying cars, and the hoverboards that we expected? What happened to our promised moon colonies? Our servant robots? In Where’s My Jetpack?, roboticist Daniel H.
