UPDATE: Cool thing but I would definitely like to have a bigger one. I didn't tested it under wet conditions but it looks like it should be just fine. Great for carrying documents, extra matches, cellphone, camera or other not too bulky water sensitive stuff.

Japanese Dustless Chalk

With a 10% mixture of the scallop shells, the crystals in the shell powder work as a cement holding the chalk together better, and the new recipe is win-win since scallop farmers have a hard time disposing of the shells, whereas now there’s a practical use for them. And it seems the new recipe also allows for considerably brighter colors compared to the desaturated, washed out tones we used when I was in school. You kids and your fancy colors!

BOUGHT! Dancing Naked in the Mind Field (Kindle Edition) by Kary Mullis

When biochemist Mullis won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1993, the press played up his being the first surfer laureate, as well as the first to admit having used LSD. In this collection of essays, Mullis reveals that he also encountered a woman who saved his life while cruising over him on the astral plane, as well as an extraterrestrial who seems to have been a cross between a raccoon and E.T. Mullis argues passionately against the commercialization of science, by which unorthodox but promising ideas fall victim to grantsmanship and marketing; against the assertion that the HIV virus is the cause of AIDS (Mullis insists this theory is still not backed by sufficient evidence); and against the outlawing of psychoactive substances without giving scientists time to study their effects on the nervous system.

UPDATE: I bought this ebook at amazone and pretty much liked it. Usually I like to read scientists. Worth every penny but some parts of text look very draft. I would definitely read this book again some time because of the information it contains.

Кирилл Домбровский, "Остров неопытных физиков"

"Остров неопытных физиков" — это приключенческая повесть, сюжет которой строится на фантастическом предположении: четверо московских школьников получили возможность по своему усмотрению менять некоторые физические константы и закономерности (уменьшать трение, увеличивать плотность воды, "пускать время обратным ходом", мгновенно переноситься в любую точку земного шара и др.). Это приводит к ряду неожиданных приключений, подтверждающих невозможность нарушения объективных законов природы, их всеобщую связь и взаимообусловленность. Развитие действия побуждает ребят ставить вопрос: "Что случится, если…" — вопрос, лежащий в основе всякого научно-технического творчества.
