The painting is in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts in Springfield, Massachusetts.

Tree of Life after Death

From Big Think: Spanish designer Martín Azúa's Bios Urn [above and below]

"is a biodegradable urn made from coconut shells, compacted peat and cellulose — inside, it contains the seed of a tree."

"Once your remains have been placed into the urn, it can be planted —

the seed germinates and begins to grow."

"You can even choose the type of tree you would like to become."

Laptop Body Skins

From the website:

.................................

The ultimate in laptop skins, each design invites interaction with the spectator. The launch collection includes black tie, bikini, x-ray and T-shirt, designed at just the right perspective to make passers-by do a doubletake.

They also provide you with a quirky way of personalizing your laptop and interacting with the people around you. It's time to leap off the treadmill and "Deface" your computer today.

.................................

They had me at "leap off the treadmill."

$15.57.
