You can make your own edible Dexter blood slides, made from sugar, corn syrup, and red food coloring. The instructions are here:
If I was the craftsy type, I’d try to make some myself. They would be great for a Dexter party.
This is a cool art project where people draw frame by frame the music video of “Ain’t No Grave” which was Johnny’s final studio recording.

Spain creates giant baby for this year’s Shanghai Expo.
Miguelín, a giant baby, will represent Spain’s proposals for improving our cities: such as recycling and clean energies, new means of transport, solidarity, equality or education. Previously at the “Cities” room in the Pavilion, filmmaker Martín Patino has presented his personal look on Spanish urban life following the rhythm of El Retablo de Maese Pedro of Manuel de Falla.
Miguelín is a 6.5 meters tall baby, electronically animated. It breaths, blinks and dreams with the cities that we will leave to future generations will smiling visitors as they walk into “Sons”, the last of rooms that integrate the pavilion, which is managed by the Spanish Agency for International Exhibitions (SEEI). Watch the next video with the baby contruction process:
The baby’s “Mother” is film director Isabel Coixet who has pointed out that with this collaboration she has wanted to stay accurate to the Expo Shanghai’s Theme, “Better city, better life”. Also that Miguelín is a reminder that tells us that “all our actions have direct consequences on our children’s future and that we have to react to this”, said the filmmaker in an encounter with the Spanish Press at the Instituto Cervantes in Beijing.

pretty cool stuff!
