Wiremap, a volumetric display
While at The Last HOPE this year, we were fortunate enough to see Wiremap, a volumetric display made from thread. Using a projector and 256 individual strands of cotton thread, [Albert Hwang] produces 3D effects. The result is a visually stunning piece of work.

Flowlight Concept Might Be Lacking In Practical Applications, But I Still Want One
I’m sure we’ve all seen those long-exposure photos where someone is writing or drawing in the air with an LED which produces cool looking streaks of light in the final shot. Well that’s basically the same idea behind the Flowlight concept, except that it happens in real time without the need for a camera.

Light Your Fire With A Fat Roll Of Benjamins
I’m fairly comfortable with my position in life. That’s not to say that I wouldn’t mind having more money, but I’m not the kind of guy that needs to light a cigar or a fire with a roll of $100 bills. I’m more of the type that will buy cheap fire starters that look like a roll of $100 bills.

Replace That Old Gnome With A Garden Zombie
There is a fairly frequent debate between my brother and I as to which will come first, a robot uprising or a zombie attack. Personally I think that we’ll have zombies first, and in an effort to quell their rising, we will create an army of attack bots which will eventually turn on us. Either way, it’s not going to be a fun time. If you’ve ever wanted to freak out your neigbors and convince them that zombies are real, then you’ll love this Garden Zombie.

Teens use technology to party in strangers' pools
Teens begin by surfing Google Earth’s satellite images to find houses with swimming pools — or at least paddling pools. Once a target has been identified, sweaty swimmers then use Facebook to arrange an organised, but uninvited, pool-crash.

Strange Things People Have Microwaved
Eric Idle, Monty Python player extraordinaire, wrote the Galaxy Song for the movie The Meaning of Life. I was quite curious to see how it has withstood 20 years of astronomical leaps in our understanding of the universe. My references can be found at http://www.softwarerepair.com/astro/ReferencesforGalaxySong.htm.
Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving While still controversial in some areas, evolution seems pretty well established.

NESSIE has been hijacked by the Swiss in a bid to promote tourism in the land of chocolate and cuckoo clocks.
A new brochure features a Nessie look-a-like swimming through a lake in a famous Swiss beauty spot.
The illustration is almost identical to the famous "surgeon's photograph" of the elusive beastie.
