I have been geeking out on magnifying glasses the last few weeks. I finally broke down and bought this low powered digital microscope . I said it ws for my daughter, but she’s too young to care more than 30 seconds. I bought it for me and I will probably spend most of my time playing with it after she’s asleep.

I am as excited as I was when I was 7 or 8 years old and got my first “grown up” microscope, that was more powerful than the one I’m getting, but I don’t have to make slides or have any sort of patience. I’m totally giddy and checking the mail box every day, waiting for my microscope. I’ve been playing with all of my magnifying glasses and also looking up pictures of things taken at low level magnification so I can see what I may be looking at live in a few days.

Anyway, so what do you do that makes you feel like a little kid again?
