I sure do love staring up at the stars on a moonless night, far away from civilization and traffic, huddled on the sand in a warm embrace with my R2-D2 webcam. Sometimes, he shows me where the Big Dipper is, but I can always spot Orion’s belt from 5 billion light years away.

Yes, that’s right, for a limited time, you too can create Zombie Art if you live in Japan! Tell your friends and family and make sure they read Japanese or have a translator-web-helper nearby. Sadly, I cannot understand anything except for the cute Japanese graphics (and I don’t see a Zombie anywhere). Will someone please translate it for us English-speaking folks? I want to be a Zombie, too!

Apparently, you must upload (from a cellphone, in Japan) a photo of yourself, a loved one or your favorite hated politician and voila, your picture-perfect incarnation of the undead will appear in your email Inbox.
