Have you been to the Orange Future Self micro site yet? I have and this is what I saw.

Philip Zimbardo & Perspectives on Time
In my high school AP Psychology and Sociology classes, I learned a lot about Dr. Philip Zimbardo's studies on the human mind and social interactions. One of the most famous might be his involvement in the prisoner/prison guard study.

Then, I came across a post about AT&T's 1993 ad campaign "You Will" and their predictions for how new technology would impact our everyday lives. Makes me wonder, … Continue reading Future View: 1993
Holograms you can touch

We spray painted a Donald Duck figurine silver and shot a laser at him and through the magic of science, I now have a piece of glass in a jewelry box under my bed that has a 3D Donald Duck image on … Continue reading Holograms you can touch
Viral Video Wednesday
In addition to my last post about the web cam music video, I just found another great example of viral video marketing. This time, it's Benson mattress company's attempt to set the world record for mattress dominos. Mattress dominos? Yeah. See it for yourself: How ridiculous and fun. I like when the people scream and … Continue reading Viral Video Wednesday
Out of Africa
I am most definitely not in Africa. But from the projects I've been working on, I might as well be. Nurses for Africa At work, we're helping out with a site for 16 nurses from St. Louis that are in Zambia, providing medical care and education and HIV/AIDS prevention. Zambia is in southern Africa.
