This week I’ve got something a little meta: geeky tools for being crafty. QueInteresante makes crayons but instead of dumb ol’ names like “green” or “electric bannana” these crayons are named after chemicals that will make that color.

My B.S. was in chemistry and my undergrad thesis used color spectroscopy so this got me right in the nostalgia. I’m also old enough to have had the kind of chemistry set that could have actually caused some harm if one were motivated enough.

At any rate, here is hoping there are a few geeky kids or adults out there who agree that these are pretty amazing.
