via Livejournal we have How to really confuse your party guests . Someone created a room that literally rotates your perspective by 90 degrees - the furniture is stuck to the walls. This must have been fun to build and socialize in!

via near near future comes LED-lit ‘emotional’ public furniture. Illuminated chairs meant to be placed in artificially-lit indoor spaces (shopping malls, subway stations, etc.) which glow, dim, flash and change color in response to people sitting on it throughout the day. The chairs are embedded with sensors that measure the presence of people over time and translate both the number of people sitting and the length of time they stay into ’social interactive pattern’ light effects.

via New Scientist comes the headline: Blood vessels recovered from T. rex bone. Jurassic Park is beginning to seem less like science fiction and more like science.
