Would you survive?

I love a good map mash-up, and this one takes the mash quite literally… demonstrating how of your city would be destoryed by a nuclear explosion:

– Search for your city
– select your weapon from the dropdown
– nuke it

And when you’ve tired of Little Boy and Fat Man, the Asteroid Impact rounds it all off in suitably apocalyptic fashion

Danish museum launches social souvenirs

Ever had the terrible experience of turning up at an event to discover that someone else is wearing the same T-shirt as you?

The Museum of Contemporary Art in Roskilde, Denmark offers one answer…

They’ve launched a “social souvenir” in the form of limited edition T-shirts. When you buy one, you provide your name address, allowing museum staff to map your T-shirt on google maps.

Ultimately the shirt rack will be empty, and the google map will be filled with little T-shirt tags across the world.

And you’ll know where not to wear your limited edition souvenir.
