I had read about the Mathmos bubble online and liked it but did not buy it. Then I saw it in person in a shop here in San Francisco and was compelled to buy it. It's a squishy silicon ball that glows. It bounces. It's rechargeable. The shop only had green, so I bought that even though I would have preferred red. It's a great thing to carry. The light is useful in dark places like poorly-lit streets or out on the beach. It bounces, so you don't need to worry about dropping it. It's what flashlights wish they were. it lights up the whole area around you, not just a narrow beam. Drop it in a thin bag and the light still gets out..

It seems to have gotten a bit more expensive since I bought mine, but if you like glowing things, then just get one. You'll enjoy it and the many people who see it will enjoy it as well.

Blue ones seem to be more widely available in the US. thinkgeek.com and Amazon have them. For other colors, it looks like you'll have to pay more. If you find a deal on a red one, please let me know.

cheers,
