Displaying Your Collectibles in Mid-Air

Levitating Spinner

“Levitron Revolution World Stage”

In essence it is a platform and a globe. A globe contains a small magnetic plate which can be removed and placed inside any object of your choice.

The object up to 3oz in weight will then levitate over the platform, rotating slowly and illuminated by several blue LEDs – looking totally awesome :D

Why can not Windows Live Writer use Microsoft Office spell & grammar checker – I’ll never know (after all, Microsoft Outlook does). I guess, yet another example when they can not even share technologies within the same company. Welcome to the real world… So, since I really want Word grammar checker, I now: write a bulk of the post in Word copy & paste it in Windows Live Writer do supplementary editing publish … it sucks :) Still, searching around the Web turned out that this is really the best solution available for now...
