My dad has had one of these in his media room for years now, and I have always wondered where I could fine one. Fortunately Amazon.com has started carrying the EcoSphere.

EcoSphere is a calming balance of earth, water, air and life — all parts of a working self-sufficient ecosystem that’s much more than science; it’s an original work of art. The delicate coexistence of animal and plant life (red shrimp, algae and microbes) thrives in the hand-blown glass sphere of seawater. It’s easy to care for — just provide sufficient light and enjoy the aesthetic blend of science and art, beauty and balance.

This technology was developed by NASA scientists as part of a growing initiative to study our planet’s biosphere. Makes a unique gift for those who contemplate the mystery of life on our planet and enjoy the serenity of nature! The inside story EcoSphere is a delicate balance of earth, water, air and life — all parts of a working ecosystem:

• Light: The foundation of life, fluorescent light or indirect sunlight provides everything your ecosystem needs; there’s no feeding or cleaning required
• Seawater: Provides the backdrop for this educational, self-contained marine environment
• Red shrimp: Chosen for their non-aggressive tendencies towards one another, these tiny crustaceans live in perfect harmony with their mini environment
• Algae: Healthy growth sustains and nourishes shrimp by supplying food and oxygen
• Microbes: To feed the algae
• Other materials: Gorgonia sprig, gravel, shells and glass provide ample hiding places and smooth surfaces for microbes to attach themselves to and thrive

Many of my clients have asked about the super-small USB thumb drives that I use. Well here they are. Half the size of an SD card, each PICO drive is smaller than the plug at the end of a USB cable. It is available in sizes from 2Gb to 64GB and comes on gold, silver and nickel. They have survived everything being left in the sun all day to several cycles in the washing machine and dryer.
