Vader and The King

And you wondered how Elvis got all those women to scream his name. It wasn’t his hips; it was a Jedi Mind Trick.

Wouldn’t this look great on a t-shirt? Why, yes it would. Get it over at Headline Shirts.

Choose Your Doom: An Unhappy Zombie Adventure

Any Geek worth his NaCl remembers Choose Your Own Adventure books, and probably spent more than a couple hours trying to find one of the few ways to make it out of the stories alive. In a grown-up revival of sorts, the interactive story returns with Choose Your Doom®: ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE!

From the Doom Press website:

This thrilling, fast-paced adventure pits you, the reader, against hordes of the undead. Every page offers a choice that can result in a grizzly death or bring you one step closer to stopping the zombie horde.

According to the book’s authors (and cover), there are “absolutely no happy endings”, but you are guaranteed a number of “gruesome means of meeting your maker”.

Choose Your Doom®: ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE!, written by DeAnna Knippling and Dante Savelli, and illustrated by award winning artist Ana Bruno, can be purchased here.

The “Solar Wind” Bridge Design Harnesses Energy Two Ways

Francesco Colarossi, Giovanna Saracino and Luisa Saracino, a trio of Italian designers, have come up with an ingenious way to generate energy without consuming valuable real estate. Between the pillars of a long-expanse bridge, a multitude of turbines capture wind energy from the faster-moving high-altitude currents. In addition, the (currently theoretical) road is paved with a “dense network of solar cells,” covered with a transparent and highly-resistant plastic,  increasing the design’s energy production.

The estimated energy production of Solar Wind is 40 million kWh per year.

If that’s not enough, a sky-high Solar Park is also built into the plan, complete with green areas, trees and enclosed rest areas. Though probably not recommended for the faint of heart, a park area is a pretty cool feature.

There are no definite plans yet to build the Solar Wind bridge, but the design in itself is rather awesome. Tell me, Geeks: do you think it’s viable?
