Remote control hovercraft technology has come a long way since this wonderful little styrofoam device. Today at Brookstone I saw a four-rotor, wifi-operated hovertoy that was operated by an iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad app using it's accelerometer and gyroscope. And during brunch, a salt shaker with a built-in spring lid! We live in the FUTURE!
Picture #51: While not nearly as mesmerizing as it's perilous cousin PalantÃr, the Sparkly-Ribbon-BallantÃr is somewhat entrancing in it's own right.
I only discovered afterwards that this ball, when bounced, also lights up. Sigh... missed opportunities.
