Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
Nice concept. But face it, the only possible market for this thing would be the geek and/or nerd demographic, and with these people, a coffee table is not as much a piece of furniture that you get to see, as a roughly rectangular shape underneath several cubic yards of books, papers, magazines, etc. My own being a case in point.
ReplyDeleteSergej, I was thinking you had been peering into my house!
ReplyDeleteI have a similarly laden table, although it's glass and kidney shaped. If I ever see it again I will be able to admire the retro look.
Looks good, I must admit. But the "samples of each element embedded into the table" bit, combined with the Lanthanides/Actinides sections, would worry me somewhat.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't like to put down a tasty breakfast pastry, for example, only to pick it up again and discover that it has grown tentacles and laser-eyes, and calls me "massssster" with toothy jaws.

..Actually, that sounds pretty awesome. *orders*
