Zubbles!
Filed under: Work Life, Media, Toys
My online buddy Mir tipped me to the coolest thing I have ever seen... Zubbles! These fabulous coloured bubbles aren't available yet, but when they
are, watch out -- every kid on your block will be clamouring for them.Tim Kehoe, the inventor of the Zubbles, spent 11 years and half a million dollars trying to come up with the perfect coloured bubble. He ruined clothes. He suffered chemical burns. He even stained the whites of his eyes deep blue. And when he came up with something that looked like it could work, once the coloured bubble popped, they left a nasty stain -- so it was back to the drawing board. The problem to solve: How do you make the colour disappear?
Well, Tim eventually managed to do it, and at the end of last year, he sold a license to his invention to Spin Masters Ltd. Tim anticipates that the Zubbles will be available at major retail stores all over the United States, but for now, we'll just have to look at the cool videos on the Zubbles website.

Vogel Jr, a real estate expert at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth. Earlier this month I sat down with Professor Vogel at the Tuck School in Hanover, New Hampshire. He explains how the tech bubble lead to the housing bubble with mortgage-backed securities.

Meredith said...I have a bubble addict in my house. We got the 'bubbles you can hold', the ones that don't pop and stay on you hand when they land. She loves them, as do the new kittens in the house.
But these, these are intriguing. Do you thinka 2 yr old will get that bubbles are newly colored? Or think it is no big deal?
