Happy New Year

Happy New Year to my readers.  Posts will pick up again in 2010.  In the mean time, you might be amused by a couple of science-y gifts I got this holiday season.  I've got a great science museum-type demo in mind inspired by this desk toy, and no lab should ever be without a sonic screwdriver.  Finally, while not strictly science-related, this is very funny, containing such gems as Super Monkey Collider Loses Funding.
