Freeze-dry me!

"One with the vast chain of life"

Then for a headstone.....

You ran with the digerati until the end. So why settle for an analog headstone? Get the Serenity Panel from Vidstone instead. Installed at your grave site - or in your mausoleum or columbarium - the 7-inch solar-powered LCD lets mourners relive your personal highs and dotcom lows. They just flip open the weatherproof cover and touch a button to start your slide show or movie. Vidstone founder Sergio Aguirre got the idea after attending a funeral that ended with jazz music and projected photos, including one of the deceased partying in a top hat and pink boa. "The atmosphere in the room changed from people grieving to chuckling and remembering who he was," Aguirre says. The $1,500 panel, available soon, is designed to last 15 years, and Vidstone will provide a new battery every four. Your home videos will keep going and going, even after you're gone.
