   Hmmm… Baidu closed at $30B today. Parametric Technology, Kana and Focus Media in the past. Hopefully more to come. =)

   Behind it an eclectic collection for a "still life" composition – consisting of a Canon lens, a length of rebar, and a chassis module for a Tektronix oscilloscope. – Not to mention a wine bottle with a strange stopper and the bottom half of what appears to be a rubber tree plant (?)

   Gotta be a story there somewhere.

   Leino – good eye. That Canon 70-200 is actually a coffee mug. Even the "lens cap" looks real.

   Yes on the Tektronix oscilloscope chassis, full of vacuum tubes and a 3D nest of soldered components (so foreign looking in this planar era).

   The rebar is actually a hollow core stem from the lunar surface drill.

   Behind it is a jacket made of flexible solar cells. =)

   Oh, and here she is on display in the Tesla lobby (photo from this morning):

    Dr D – close, the "cork" on the Rocket Science wine bottle is a sheep finger puppet….

    An article on the golden frisbee today

    There’s something about the personal touch from Draper Fisher Jurvetson to honor its own investments that makes us smile.
