How’d she get that picture? Photo by keagiles. (Note: This is Kea POD 4.)

Yesterday, I posted some research news about bubble robots. So today I thought I’d tell you what those bubbles are in my header design. Once I started thinking about it though, all this sci-fi stuff came to mind.

Why? Well, these bubbles are from a close-up photograph of spilled diet cola (taken with a macro lens with flash on). Hey, when life gives you spilled soda, you take a picture of it. At least, I do.

So, what “sci-fi stuff” comes to mind? — I may sound paranoid, but I don’t mean to — it is an interesting idea: Could someone put little robot bubbles in my soda? Probably not — why waste the resource? Besides, they would be inert without lasers to run them. But it still has me thinking.
