When I think of famous side profiles the first person I think about is Alfred Hitchcock. A team of scientists at the University of California at San Francisco “injected light-sensing and communication genes from various bacterial species into Escherichia coli.” That’s right, the poopy virus.

The scientists then projected an image of Hitchcock onto a plate of bacteria, leaving an etched image of the famed director in the petri dish. Eventually, the team plans on creating color imaged by adding special color-sensing genes.

Do you have a misconceived self-image?When I use my mirror to elegantly dishevel my hair  just how I like it, I sometimes need to have my Vietnamese slave hold another mirror behind me at an angle just so I can see the view from the back. The 360 Degree Mirror is made to allow you to ogle my your flawless physique from all angles simultaneously, to assure you look great for the cameras.

The center panel illuminates to cast a glow on your profile, while three panels on each side are designed to wrap around for a complete 360 look. If you don’t feel like seeing yourself in panorama mode, just fold the side panels together. Get yours for $40. — Andrew Dobrow
