Okay you really do need to check out “Not So Humble Pie” where “Ms. Humble” creates wonderful treats. But wait, theres more. She claims to be just your typical nerdy anthropological biologist turned home mom and baker of sometimes strange goodies but that is fittingly humble. She makes sciency treats to feed our imaginations, tummies, and minds.  They’re tasty in so many ways one can only envy her offspring.

If you find that your clean white bathroom to be disappointingly free of suggestions of murder and not looking enough like a crime scene you can now lay your mind at ease. Why go through the trouble of seducing a house guest and brutally murdering them in the shower just to accomplish that certain rouge aesthetic? Now you can get this Blood Bath Shower Curtain and Bath mat to satisfy your most Hitchcockian urges without having to even pick up a kitchen knife. Talk about modern convenience! Our only suggestion would be to make it water reactive so that pigmentation only became visible when wet, for that added sense of surprise

You might think your art director is tough to work with. There is a tiny art director out there which might give your a run for their money though. She knows what she wants and she wants it now. Maybe she wasn’t clear enough but you, as the artist, should be able to interpret the subtext well enough. Don’t do it wrong. This serves as a lesson to not work with family, and not work with children. Combining the two could lead to a high stakes game of draw-and-erase and Bill Zeman shows us as he tries to please his daughter.

Neil Fraser has taken nine specifically spaced cross sections from an MRI brain scan then affixed portions to corresponding 1″ wooden cubes to create a three dimensional model representing the whole head. The result is a combination of puzzle and visualization tool, allowing one to explore the head in three dimensions very flexibly and turns medical visualization in to a toy. It may not be as useful for doctors but it is a great way to help us visualize and explore biology. One imagines this project being a catalyst for future projects extending the theme with greater complexity and ambition.

Brett Gaylor from Open Source Cinema in cooperation with the National Film Board of Canada has written and produced this new documentary film which asks a question: Which side of the ideas are you on? Beta screenings have already taken place which have generated some pretty good buzz around this one. It’s an open source documentary all about copyright, culture and, of course, remixing. It’s been worked on for six years so far and you can still take part.
