I am looking for a nusery lamp that I know I have seen in a movie ("Sleepless in Seattle" or "One Fine Day" maybe?), but I can not find it online. The lamp I am thinking of is square covered in rice paper or velum with a low watt light inside that projects colored images of stars, moons, or similar, on the velum, lighting the room. The one I have seen also spins, I am assuming because of the heat of the lamp, so the images spin around the velum of the lamp, projecting the color on walls of the room as well. I know I have seen a few and no one can point me in the right direction. Help!

Herz,
I have one of those...which we've never used. I'd be happy to send it along to you. I think ours has zoo animals, but I haven't looked at it in a while...

Are you interested?

If anybody has any ideas on where to find a plastic (or other hard shell type surface) cover/case/protector for a cpu tower please let me know. My little guy thinks it's great fun to go over to my computer and turn it on... and off...and on...

There are many soft/fabric protectors out there but these wouldn't work for us, we definitely need some kind of guard --preferably one that is removable with velcro or something so I can access the drives and on/off button (he hasn't figured out velcro yet). Any suggestions are very very welcome!

I would think you could get some plexi cut at HD or similar for relatively cheap. Glue the ends and then just slide it off to access the drives/buttons.
You could do a little door, but that would be much more work.
