I dropped one into the recesses of my La-Z-Boy. Recovery was difficult.

I used to do doodles while watching TV*, way back when I was a student. Here are a few.

* actually watching TV with one eye and one ear, listening to the radio with the other ear, the left hand on the REC button,
doodling with the remaining hand and eye. - I wish I could multitask like that today.

An old favorite shape:

Those are cool. I've never played with those. Do the little balls roll around a lot when you are trying to make a shape, or are they pretty rigid, staying in place once you put them somewhere?

They only move where and when you don't want them to.:D

Pretty much. They stay where they are unless you get them near the wrong side of another shape.

woot.com has Buckyballs in two other colors today.

I was thinking of buying them for my kids. But then I saw the very strongly worded warnings.

According to the recall notice, 14 is the reccommended age.

Look what kerosene drew for me on commission! I haven't seen it in person yet, but I'm excited to. It's going to be a Christmas present for my wife. In case it's not obvious, those are my kids. I took a million pictures on Thanksgiving, and chose my favorite three, all in different lighting, and kerosene told me which one would work best from her point of view and she drew it.

Cool huh? She's got an art page over on Facebook.

That is AMAZING.

omg I really should commission her to draw my nieces. She's SO good!

Yeah. She's extremely talented. I'm so happy with the way this came out!

I've got an art supply store a few blocks from my work, so I just need to go pick up a mat and picture frame. I'll wait until it gets here so I can measure it.

Your wife is gonna cry! :)
