Letter cards.

Sweet.



Hang your initial on the wall with one of these old classroom cards. The blue and red lines are a nice detail, much like a piece of foolscap. Neat black letters in upper and lower case. Choose your letter. 16.5x7.5". £11.50

Twig Terrarium: Forensics in the Flora

I know it's wrong to want this, but I've invested so much time in Bones and Law & Order that I can't help it.

Mini Morse code satellite.

Science is cool. I might need to learn Morse code.


A couple of months ago we reported on the ArduSat project, which aimed to enable anyone to control a CubeSat orbiting space. Using similar technology, the FITSAT-1 developed by researchers at the Fukuoka Institute of Technology in Japan houses LEDs that can create a morse code message that can be seen from earth.

FILMography.

My brother sent this site to me, knowing that I'd love it. I do. Especially since the first photo that I saw when I went there was a photo with Cary Grant from "That Touch of Mink" (I have a serious weakness for this particular Doris Day movie). The other photos below are from "Godspell" and "The Fisher King," two other faves of mine. I could spend hours on this site.

All photos by Christopher Moloney, aka @Moloknee.

BRAUN SK55 Vintage Record Player w/ AM-FM Radio

This is an absolute beauty.




Vintage 1960s Braun Record phonograph and 3 band radio with a tube amplifier in fully working and good looking condition. Designed by Dieter Rams and Hans Gugelot, it's an industrial design & audio milestone. This music system was part of the traveling exhibit "Less and More: The Design Ethos of Dieter Rams" and is part of the permanent collection of MoMA. The player has been professionally restored replacing capacitors and resistors as needed to reduce hum, get good radio reception and play records correctly. All tubes were tested good for good emission. Control pots have been sprayed so they are quiet when turned. A new phonograph needle was installed.
