Plug for a friend
Quoting [info]jadegirl in her entirety:

I know quite a few people on my friendslist who know children, have children, or who are self-professed "geeks" themselves - lovelies, have I got a goldmine for you!

Spectrum Scientifics is a science supply store for all ages, owned and operated by my oldest friend, Matt Kriebel. For those of you in the Philadelphia area, the shop is at 4403 Main Street in Manayunk, surrounded by lots of other neat shopping, an excellent coffeeshop, and in general, Manayunk is a really pretty area. For those of you not in the area, the webshop is just now up and running.

Matt has been in the science education field for as long as I've known him, some 15 years now, starting with doing a traveling science show for the Franklin Institute, and moving on to working with various science supply/telescope vendors. This shop is his baby, and I really, really want to see it do well. He has high standards for the products he sells, and really cares about providing the best, both in terms of affordability and quality. Besides, he carries a working catapult building kit. I want one. Also stuffed brain cells. The perfect gift! : )

Seriously, he's an excellent fellow, with an excellent shop. Look around, and spread the word. Thank you!

(Talk to me.)

Neat site! I'd been meaning to get a box of Legos for slow days at the office (not that I've been having many of those lately), but I might go with some Uberstix instead.

This shop sounds like a neat idea. I don't have any children, but I do like to work on science education projects, and the reference will be nice for the future!
