I made these earrings from a Friendly Plastic project book that was published in 1991 by Hot Off the Press. Friendly Plastic is the brand of a type of plastic that can be melted using an oven or hot water. This particular project called for red, yellow, and green gems too. Very arresting, IMHO. (hehe)

ZEN MAGNETS / NEOBALLS (@483) - Stoplight

This uses a few Neoballs to add red, yellow, and green to the stoplight.

(@312) - Stoplight ((6 x 13 top) + (6 x 14) + (6 x 14 bot) + (2 x 6 rings top/bot) + (3 x (8 + 8 + 2))

(@171) - Pole (15 x 6 rings) + Base ((2 x 36) + 9 ball feet

For color, remove square portions on the top panel and replace with Neoball red (top) yellow (middle) green (bottom)

This storm ended up being a flash flood about ankle deep in town, it lasted about an hour. The streets around our house were covered in at least 4 inches of dirt and rocks.

Discovering things in unexpected places is always fun. It forces someone to think about it with a new perspective. Love this light. I want one.

I love the bike specific traffic signals

This image is from a series of screenshots taken within a Shared iOS Photostream my students and I use for the purpose of learning the classification and sight identification of Caribbean-region coral reef fish.

In the screenshots, you can clearly see the discussion time and date stamped. You'll see that I try to send new species to the Photostream at all times of the day. This does two things:

1) It allows students to take part whenever they are available to. And,

2) This has caused my students to keep their iPad and fish ID resources near them much more often. This is how memorization is best facilitated... in small chunks, and frequently.

Stoplight parrotfish change color from red/white/black to blue/green/purple/gold. This change apparently coincides with a change in sex. All are born female (initial red phase) then change to male (terminal blue/green phase).
