The Eternal Chumby

Warning: Technology at work!
Introducing the CHUMBY Headstone!

Imagine... instead of those solid, unmoving, depressing headstones... a fuzzy one, with squiggly legs and a "peppy" screen that tells you the time, date, traffic report, and a little about the (tech-no-geek) that is dearly departed.
It's a great way to make an interactive, fuzzy memorial. I'm sure we'll see something like this in the future. It's a little scary, and shameless. While previous cultures carved statues, wrote stories, and made music, web 2.0 allows for some very unusual, and possibly embarasing, forms of expression.
