april 2015 by jm
you can use 2-liter carbonated drink bottles to build an inexpensive, reusable water rocket. The thrill factor is surprisingly high, and you can fly them all day long for the cost of a little air and water. It’s the perfect thing for those times when you just want to head down to the local soccer field and shoot off some rockets!

Behind the loom band
So, really, it's his daughters that invented it. ;)
My kids are massive fans. This is a 100% legit, Rubik's-Cube-style craze. (via Conor O'Neill)

The simple woven multicoloured bracelet has made Cheong Choon Ng, a Malaysian immigrant to the US, a dollar millionaire. He invented the "Rainbow Loom" after watching his daughters making bracelets with rubber bands.

The Neurocritic: Fisher-Price Synesthesia
january 2013 by jm
'Synesthesia [jm: sic] is a rare perceptual phenomenon in which the stimulation of one sensory modality, or exposure to one type of stimulus, leads to a sensory (or cognitive) experience in a different, non-stimulated modality. For instance, some synesthetes have colored hearing while others might taste shapes. GRAPHEME-COLOR SYNESTHESIA is the condition in which individual printed letters are perceived in a specific, constant color. This occurs involuntarily and in the absence of colored font. [...] A new study has identified 11 synesthetes whose grapheme-color mappings appear to be based on the Fisher Price plastic letter set made between 1972-1990.'
