the "web-cam". An intricately woven scrap of spider silk, surprisingly durable, and posessing a point of view, which video stream from is broadcast using it's onboard webserver and wifi connection.
The Professor lives a good life. Aside from people who don't believe in the Power of SCIENCE!, he's got very few frustrations. One of them is finding the appropriate cabling to go from port a to port b. So, he invented the Universal Cable.
A smallish spool, similar to the retractable modem cables in use today. Instead of RJ12 or RJ45 connectors, there are small blobs of protruding gelatinous handwavium protruding from the case. Pulling the blobs will result in a 'string' of handwavium, which will adhere to and conduct any connector it's plugged into, and any number of conductors. Good for 10gig/full duplex ethernet, or a couple thousand volts of three-phase AC, over any distance from one or two inches to twenty feet.
Quirks include a required 'Dramatic Closure', a swift tug on the 'cable' and a triumphant pose while it retracts, and an occasional need to be fed electricity.Wire Geek - Burning the weak and trampling the dead since 1979
