Chrome Alum Crystals by Paul’s Lab
This is a photo of chrome alum crystals in a chrome alum solution, at 20x magnification. Taken with my Canon SX110 IS, through a Novex stereo microscope with lighting from underneath. The crystals are grown from a saturated solution and are no more than 1 mm in diameter. Created myself, Paul, from www.paulslab.com
Window Socket - Kyuho Song & Boa Oh
So this is an absolutley brilliant idea! Just attach the plug on to a window and it will harness solar energy. A small converter will convert it into electricity which can be freely used as a plug when you are in the car, on a plane or outside.
Love this design and I really think it has a great potential.

Dragon Wars (Interplay - 1989)
RPG released for both home computers and NES
1989’s Dragon Wars ad boasts art by the legendary Boris Vallejo. The game itself was intended to be Bard’s Tale IV…until a month before release day. But why does the dragon look so un-dragonlike? I found out years later that the reason was because they were added in at the last minute — again, because they were told they didn’t have the rights to the Bard’s Tale stuff. I’m guessing that the art was done some time before the bad news. Still, an understated classic and a great CRPG.
