There are a couple of different ways one might go about illuminating their home. You can always go with the standard lights, or maybe use something a little more funky via lava lamps, or you could always turn to glow in the dark plants. Wait, what? Yup you heard that right, a company called Bioglow has announced that they will be auctioning off 20 glow in the dark plants called the Starlight Avatar. The auction is expected to begin on the 31st of January and you will probably be one of the first few in the entire world to ever own something as awesome as that! Now it should be noted that the glowing plants do not look like the one pictured above which is an artist’s rendering, and neither do they resemble what you saw in James Cameron’s Avatar (although that would be awesome).
Instead what Bioglow recommends is that they are best viewed in an extremely dark room and will probably be more pronounced once your eyes start to get used to the dark. If you’re wondering why this sounds familiar, it is because there was a Kickstarter project from last year which attempted to do what Bioglow has done, but we guess Bioglow will be beating them to the market. In fact the Kickstarter project actually cited the findings of a certain Alexander Krichevsky who actually founded Bioglow which is pretty ironic. In any case it should also be noted that these plants won’t live forever despite your best attempts, with Bioglow estimating a lifespan of about 2-3 months. Pretty cool, huh? Anyone planning on making a bid?

We’re sure many mobile users are familiar with Flipboard, an app that basically acts like a magazine as it helps users curate news and stories that they might be interested in. Google attempted to compete with Google Currents, and now word on the street is that Facebook could be looking to launch something similar as well with a service called Facebook Paper. At this point in time it is unclear if Facebook intends for Paper to be a mobile app or a website, but basically the concept behind it, if the reports are to be believed, is meant to mimic how content would look like as if it were printed on paper back in the days when digital content was not available.

Books for the most part are printed on paper. The cover of the books themselves are sometimes printed on paper too, although there are books with more unique covers that act as coffee table books and conversation pieces, which is why we have to say that a limited edition version of Chang-Rae Lee’s novel, On Such a Full Sea, might be one of the more unique books we’ve come across due to the fact that it sports a 3D printed cover, making it the first book to ever sport a 3D printed cover. Designed by the book’s publisher’s art director, Helen Yentus, the cover initially took about 30 hours to print, before it was streamlined to 15 hours, but either way safe to say the end result was not cheap with the book being priced at $150, way more than the normal version which is a fraction of the price.
Will we be able to find time travelers on a social network? I suppose the better question to ask before that would be this – is time travel even possible in the first place? Well, astrophysicist Robert Nemiroff did mull over the possibility of time travel over a poker game last summer. In fact, he was pretty much amused by the possibility of having time travelers hanging out in our generation, that he started to enlist the help of several of his students to check out whether there is evidence of such folks. Needless to say, in this day and age, if you are not searching for anything other than your remote control that is under the couch, you would enlist the help of an online search engine to get the job done.
