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!
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.

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?

Yikes! Each of these 65 screws is individually packed inside a padded envelope, and all of the envelopes come shipped inside a big ass box, complete with a 7-page invoice. Way to go Dell! Aren’t you guys supposed to be more environmentally conscious in 2011? And what about cutting expenses where you can?
