So I already have my zombie proof house and this truck is how I will get there. It gives birth to a four wheeler people; it’s like Voltron! The only way this could get cooler is if the four wheeler carried another mini-vehicle of some sort.

![This 1,000 square-foot weekend cabin, basically a steel box on stilts, can be completely shuttered when the owner is away. Situated near a river in a floodplain, the 20’ x 20’ square footprint rises three stories and is topped by the living room/kitchen. Large, 10’ x 18’ steel shutters can be closed simultaneously using a hand crank.
Whoa, the Delta Shelter sounds like an awesome zombie proof hideout … I mean a wonderfully designed cabin in the woods.[via]](http://www.oskaarchitects.com/gallery_cache/38/650_430/Delta-Shelter-TB-056.jpg)

Some Canadian researchers did a mathematical exercise on how civilization could survive a zombie uprising.
In their study, the researchers from the University of Ottawa and Carleton University (also in Ottawa) posed a question: If there was to be a battle between zombies and the living, who would win?
Professor Robert Smith? (the question mark is part of his surname and not a typographical mistake) and colleagues wrote: “We model a zombie attack using biological assumptions based on popular zombie movies.
“We introduce a basic model for zombie infection and illustrate the outcome with numerical solutions.”
To give the living a fighting chance, the researchers chose “classic” slow-moving zombies as our opponents rather than the nimble, intelligent creatures portrayed in some recent films.
And I thought math was boring. Also, I like the distinction between the fast and slow zombies.

Some nice tips for Twitter search. My favorite is the syntax for plucking links from Twitter: “[your subject of interest]” filter:links. For example: “Zombies” filter:links returns some fun linkages. [via]

“FEED is a book about politics, corruption, presidential campaigns, journalism, integrity, escapism, the traditional news media, and how Livejournal saved the world from the living dead.” Sounds like a good book.
