…and staying alive. That’s what today’s daily bit is all about.
You know, the end of the world? Zombiecalypse?
The Walking Dead has been over now (albeit temporarily) for a while, and I guess I am suffering withdrawal symptoms. Thank goodness we got a heads up about this infographic about zombie-proofing your home. And it doesn’t stop there: it will help you stay alive.

That’s exactly how I felt when I watched this stop motion Super Mario video, and as silly as it may sound, I had to watch it several times.
You might be thinking, so what’s can this particular stop motion Super Mario video give you that you can’t get from other videos featuring the music? [Read more…] about Stop Motion Super Mario
We don’t normally shout out loud about environmental issues on Daily Bits, but an article that I read some time back on the BBC has got me thinking. The article is titled “What should be done about plastic bags?” and the numbers presented are rather surprising.
We seem to have this idea that plastic bags are bad, and the reusable bag movement has become so big that more and more supermarkets have totally done away with plastics. But is it really justified?

If you are the same way, then you will like the idea of the Spider Guitar, which is a 3D printed guitar. The idea is “owned” by Olaf Diegel, a mechatronics professor at Massey University. What a mechatronics professor does exactly – don’t ask me! ((Wikipedia on mechatronics))
Diegel used to only dream about his 3D printed guitars, but thanks to the development of 3D printers – and the fact that his school is fortunate enough to have several desktop 3D printers – the professor was able to create real guitars, albeit rather small. The limitation, obviously, is the size of the printers. However, Diegel is already looking forward to the possibility of the school having a large-scale printer before the year ends.
