Whole Movement

Origami and other crafts from round paper, particularly paper plates. From a purist's perspective it is not very good, tape and bobby pins are used to hold things together. But if you look past that the stuff is quite good.

Pixelvision

A page about the Fisher-Price toy video camera, the "Pixelvision." It recorded video onto regular audio cassettes, 5 minutes of video per 90 minute audio tape. I remember seeing these for sale when new, and I still regret not buying one.
