I played with the Atomix by Francois Dallegret for quite a while today at the Areaware store (see my post about it earlier). It’s a pretty mindless toy made of acrylic and 6000 steel balls embedded within that slide and create random patterns when you shake or tilt the object. Even though it really doesn’t do anything beyond that, I like it because it’s such a delightfully fun toy. I just wish it wasn’t $75.
