Signature Stickers- Mark Frauenfelder, author, illustrator, blogger, has published a book "The Mad Professor".  He offers to sign a copy for you via an interesting means: If you buy a copy and send me a self-addressed stamped envelope, I will send you a handsome sticker with an original drawing and my signature that you can stick on the front page of the book. A neat approach to be sure.  I wonder what sort of conceptual gymnatics occur if the sticker is placed on something else. 6:43:49 AM

Bombs Away! These folks are having way too much fun.  How to build a mug that can withstand a fall.  One of the winners took a different approach.... Of course without the ceramic's built in obsolescence of being likely to break if dropped, most of our ceramic needs would have been met maybe 3000 years ago! 6:37:45 AM
