Nadine Jarvis of the UK proposes to make pencils out of the remains of people who are cremated.  There’s no order page, so I assume the pencils are still being beta tested.

Each pencil is foil stamped with the name of the person. Only one pencil can be removed at a time, it is then sharpened back into the box causing the sharpenings to occupy the space of the used pencils. Over time the pencil box fills with sharpenings - a new ash, transforming it into an urn. The window acts as a timeline, showing you the amount of pencils left as time goes by.

I was reading about Voronoi diagrams (is that a cool name or what?) and I decided to adapt one of my sudoku programs to generate them.  Each cell in the sudoku gets a central point, somewhat off the grid, and each pixel in the image is colored the same as the nearest central point.  This leads to a mess of squarish-but-irregular shapes that somehow fit together.

I don’t know what to call this. It’s a picture from the Hubble Space Telescope, put through a “polar inversion” effect in Paint.net. The effect messes up the center of the picture, so I covered up the mess with a digital crystal.
