Ed Yong: Suicidal crickets, zombie roaches and other parasite tales
This was one of the more alarming thought provoking talks this year…. imagine if this were true…parasites partiallycontrol the human brain!

Erik Åberg: GhostCube
Some nifty crafty boxes to make for some magical box tumbling…. I wonder if it would be an interesting shelf =)
DHL: Trojan Mailing
I might have to give this the best and efficient means of marketing budget for an amazing outcome. Many copy cats to follow.
I do recall way back in college, I had to cover up the FREE FEDEX box logo when I shipped via UPS.

Klemens Torggler: Evolution Door
Neat. Pivoting door. I somewhat want one, but also am not sure if I want one.
Designer Klemens Torggler has several more design on his site … check them out.
Alex John Beck: Both Sides Of
Photographer Alex John Beck takes photos of your face, then mirrors them to see how different they are… It’s pretty radical to see how different your 2 halves are, and how the two make you unique. Stunning project.
A few images mirrored after the jump.
Li Hongbo – Pure White Paper
Pretty cool simple project…pretty erieeee as well when expanding. Check out some more images from his paper projects.
Etsuko Ichikawa: Molten Glass Drawings
Wow, this is breathtaking and beautiful…drawing with molten lava on paper to burn to draw. My favorite part is when she whisks the molten lava forming slivers of torched thin glass on the paper which comes awfully close to her shoes which happens often. Seems like something from a martial arts movie for a weapon that you cant block…
“Artist Etsuko Ichikawa’s searing creations spring to life in 2100°/451°, a spellbinding film by Alistair Banks Griffin for The Anthropologist.”

Isaac’s Live Lip-Dub Proposal
This might be the best Marriage Proposal that I have seen in some time. It’s a mix of surprise, Broadway musical, roller coaster/amusement park ride, co-ordination, and a whole bunch of people! Anyhow, watch it and think how to top that and be original!
