My favourite character in Finding Nemo was Bubbles, so that’s what I would have included in this week’s photo challenge. Fortunately, eight readers are more creative than I am, as evidenced by the results of this week’s shooting challenge. More »
These bubble-headed girls have created a device to drown out background noise from pubs and bars. Too bad it makes you look like an escapee from an astronaut fan club. More »
A physicist at Harvard has an idea for fighting climate change that is pretty radical, in every sense of the word. He wants to pump massive amounts of microbubbles into the world’s oceans, increasing their reflectivity and cooling their temperatures. More »
Scientists believe that bubbles are made of sugar, spice, and everything nice. Or maybe they don’t, but I do. These are called Zubbles, and they are the world’s first stainless colour bubbles. Summer blowin’ on the beach, here I come. More »
The previously Japan only Mugen Puchi Puchi bubble wrap toy is now available in the US for $US5.99. It’s available in four colours: cold sore pink, pea soup green, dying of exposure blue and cadaver grey. It’s fun, yes, but the sound effect unfortunately doesn’t sound all that much like the *POP* of a real bubble wrap bubble and more of like a generic sound effect speaker noise from a handheld game you played in 1985. You do get a fart, barking dog or door chime sound every 100 pops, which is worth something, I think. It comes in keychain form so as to prevent your keys from flying away, Mary Poppins style.
