Laser Star Showers

For some time now Braeden has had an astronomy tool on his wishlist. It's one of those planetarium's that shows all of the constellations on your ceiling. I haven't purchased it yet because he is so young and even though he says he wants it I'm just not sure he can appreciate it yet.

Then I stumbled across a similar gadget on the Edmund Scientific site, a Laser Star Shower projector. You turn the projector on in a dark room and it instantly fills not only the ceiling but the entire area with stars and cloud formations. There's not much more interesting to children than glowing holograms, but when you add in animation and shooting stars there's no way you can go wrong. I think this could be just the thing to help him fall asleep and stay in his room without feeling scared.

Beyond the scope of being fun for children, it would also be romantic to lay on the floor or bed with Brian and watch the nebula cloud formations.

If you are interested in being geeky with me and my family you should peruse www.scientificsonline.com. I remember when there was a World of Science store in our local mall and this is even better. The gadgets available here are just so cool.

Science has never been so fun!

Popcorn and projectors!

Should I? Could I? Would I?

This past Christmas I wanted to buy one of those fancy projectors that project your movies onto a wall. Yes, because then it would be like I have my very own movie theatre at home. But then I realized it wouldn't work with my surround sound...because the only one I could afford didn't have all those hookups.

So there is a Indianapolis Projector Rental, why can't there be one for Delaware? I know it is meant for companies to rent them and use them at big meetings and conferences, but I would rent one to use for a party or just for a movie marathon weekend with a small group of friends. So the Indianapolis Projector Rental place is targeting a wider area now and they want y'all to know. If you live near New York City (Long Island), Los Angeles (LA County), Chicago, IL, Philadelphia, PA, San Jose (Santa Clara County), CA, Detroit, MI, Indianapolis, IN, Jacksonville, FL, San Francisco (north to Santa Rosa), CA and Columbus, OH...Projector123.com will deliver your projector rental to you via FedEx.

Clearly not what the Indianapolis Projector Rental place is meant for, but it would be super fun all the same!
