Skittle Corpse

Skittle Corpse 04/13/2004 10:21 PM
Consider this my contribution to the collection of search terms that, until ... a few days from now, had no results. A few minutes ago I put a used (meaning "empty") skittles bag in the trash and quietly announced "skittle bag" to which Derek replied "skittle corpse" at which I laughed quite heartily. That phrase is, in and of itself, not funny. What is funny is how my brain wasn't ready to hear it. Well, okay. It's maybe a little...

Flowers as speakers

Flowers as speakers 07/21/2004 09:22 AM
This is sweet: a Japanese amp system that lives in a flowerpot and uses the foliage above to amplify the sound.

Called the "Flower Speaker Amplifiers", the gadget made by Let's Corp is hidden in a vase or a potted plant and sends music at just the right frequency to vibrate up the stems and then be converted into audible sound by the plant as a whole.

Anne and I planted flowers just like these in a planter about two years ago, on the other side of that brick border that you can see in the back right of the picture. I saw these little flowers this morning, just popped up where we didn't plant them. Thought it was a nice introduction to Spring.

Early Summer Flowers

Early Summer Flowers 04/28/2004 12:14 AM

Is it summer or late spring?  It sure feels like summer here in the Bay Area.  Anyhow, Steve Kirks shot his azalea for me, so I thought I should send him some of my flowers.  I guess Tim Bray is too busy with his new job to take snapshots of his lawn.

I am rather embarrased to admit that I have no idea what this flower growing in my backyard is.  The tag got lost you see and my head being filled with essentials like Boo leaves little room for flower names other than simple ones like the rose and the sunflower.  It's the same with wine names so all I can manage is 'I'll have the, er, red.'

I've just gotten back into the office and discovered a copy of the new Mike Resnick anthology, "New Voices in Science Fiction," a Science Fiction Writers of America-sponsored book showcasing new, noteworthy writers. Charlie Stross and I wrote a story for it, called Flowers from Alice, a pervy piece of post-Singularity erotica. I'm happy to say that the story was also selected for the inaugural volume of Jonathan Strahan and Karen Haber's new Best of the Year anthology. Link

Danes invent bomb-sniffing GM flowers 01/27/2004 05:17 PM
GM plants change color in the presence of landmines.

The genetically modified weed has been coded to change color when its roots come in contact with nitrogen-dioxide (NO2) evaporating from explosives buried in soil.

Within three to six weeks from being sowed over land mine infested areas the small plant, a Thale Cress, will turn a warning red whenever close to a land mine.

Flowers for SF gay weddings effort
stunning success

Flowers for SF gay weddings effort
stunning success 07/19/2004 02:52 AM
Back in February, Darren Barefoot started the charitable effort he called "Flowers for Al and Don," in which people donated money for flowers to be delivered to gay and lesbian couples awaiting marriage on the steps of the San Francisco Courthouse. The effort was a signal success. Darren sez:

As you guys covered this (and helped promote it) back in February, I just thought you'd be interested to hear the final results. Ultimately, we raised US $14,312.28. We delivered US $11,542.28 worth of flowers, and donated the remainder to two related and deserving charities--Lambda Legal and the Gay and Lesbian Rights Project at the ACLU.

"Canon" Turns Plants, Flowers Into

"Canon" Turns Plants, Flowers Into
Speakers 07/17/2004 12:54 PM

The Music Bird Corporation has developed a fantastic new product that is only slightly tainted by their ad-copy flim-flammery -- the "Canon," a series of vases and flower pots that actually use the leaves and flowers of plants as speakers. The Canon (a play on Japanese words for flower ("ka") and sound ("non")) uses an acrylic tube to vibrate the flowers, adding directionless sound, which the creators of the product admonish "raise[s] the healing effects" by adding the missing fifth dimension of sound (I hadn't realized flowers had any healing effects at all, besides mending broken hearts. (I'm puking, too.))

The Canon vibro-vegetables will be available in limited quantities this month for prices between $45 and $450, in a variety of styles.
