About

We're a geeky group of friends committed to discussing the serious and important issues of the day: domestic policies and liberties, international relations, security, disaster preparation, law, science, art, literature, pirates and the myriad methods by which squids and octopuses mate. Okay, we mostly care about the last two.

Posthumous Packages

My colleague Eric Siry has a fun roundup of the current market in urns and other post-funeral ashware.

If you're the kind of person who thought Billy Bob wearing Angelina's blood around his neck was sweet, then you might like a mini-urn that you wear around yours. This crystal is a good one because one can actually see the ashes in it, but if you're more circumspect than that, you can opt for a dolphin or sea turtle (unless, of course, your loved one was mauled to death by one of these playful creatures).
