And Other Things...

I bought a couple of these tiny 'personal mister' things from the dollar bins at Target. It's a little pump atomizer, suck as one might find uses for in a lab, but colourful and fashionable, as befits something from Target. I didn't expect much, but it's of astonishingly good quality. It produces a fine spray at full pressure, and it will hold a working pressure for days if it's pumped up and left to sit. I'm always surprised these days to find any non-branded consumer item that's well built. It's even more of a purprise when it costs only $2.50.

The 3D museum. This is pretty cool. Animal skulls (mostly) rendered in 3D that can be rotated in your browser. A curiousity cabinet for the internet age.

My Snake Plants are doing well. One is putting out new shoots. I'm not real sure why it's only the one doing it, since they sit right together and are tended identically. Hopefully the rest will follow.

It's perhaps my imagination, but the air seems more invigorating when the grow light is on. I've read in a couple places that a cluster of Snake Plants in good light can raise the ambient oxygen levels in a room by 1% or so, and I can believe that. They don't *look* like they'd transpire that much gas, with those thick, stiff leaves.

One of my Target atomizers is now a plant mister :)
