Zombie shadow maker
The fine folks at Evolution Laser Works, most famous for their laser-etched Obama Toast, created this stately wood cut-out that will cast delightfully frightful zombie shadows on your walls. It's 4" x 4" x 1/8" mahogany ply, stained, and varnished, and would look terrific backlit in my Wunderkammer. Just $15 at the Boing Boing Bazaar in the Makers Market.

Science Fiction or Reality: When do the Machines Take Over?
Maybe the technological advances we’re seeing now will lead to great things, maybe they’ll lead to our eventual enslavement, there is no clear way to tell. Science fiction will continue to present new ideas and theories on the future, and we’ll eat them up like Frosted Flakes on a Saturday morning.

Any good reading list for trends watchers must include a fair smattering of sci-fi. It's from this pool of imaginative talent that we can see some of tomorrow's innovations. It's fascinating to see some of the more longer-term, far-out scenarios and imagined inventions, work their way out of speculative science into the real world.

Hark! What witchcraft is this?
How on earth did these clever people manage to extract all those calories out of water and make sure it still tasted like water? Amazing science - that's how!
