This week went by in a rush, and tomorrow it is December 1st… with a high of 78*F. Oh, Texas.

This Week’s Shinies:

• Swedish Toy Catalogue Delightfully Reverses Genders in Toy Ads – BEST. BEST BEST BEST.
• The Boy With Tape On His Face – Comedy… in silence! I love this.
• PVC Pipe Instrument – A guy makes an instrument out of PVP pipes and plays a ton of recognizable snippets from favorite songs. I WANT ONE OF THESE.

Current Earworm: “A Simple Song,” played on a five-octave mbira ohmygod.

The Friday Quote:

If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I see my life in terms of music. ~Albert Einstein
