I ran across this little toy in Cracker Barrel the other day, the gyroscope. I remembered how much fun I used to have with them growing up, and since it was not that expensive I picked one up. They still fascinate me! If you've never seen one in action there quite a marvel! They will balance on just about anything. My fellow INTJ'ers (see previous post here) would probably also take a special interest in this toy simply to try and understand how it works. The simple mechanics of it is to simply thread the string around the axle and then pull the string off hard which makes the inward wheel spin at a terrific speed. This makes the gyroscope balance so well. I guess this is physics at work. For more pictures go here. Enjoy!

Sorry for the lack of updates as of late! Due to the fact that it is a hassle to hook up my internet here at home, my blogs kind of build up until I finally force myself to go through the hassle of hooking everything up. I did get a chance to take pictures just for fun the other day. It felt good You can see more of the results here. Enjoy!

We have been doing a fair amount of renovations around our house lately with the ultimate goal of eliminating as much work as possible. We have a big yard with lots of landscaping! I think I'll let the picture speak for themselves. You can see them here.
