Pee to Check-In to Foursquare - Mark Your Territory

Step 6: Create the Markers (Embed Seeds)

After the product fully decomposes, it re-structures the environment in an echo of your impact of checking-in. In the future, the seeds will be genetically engineered to include a genetic watermark containing your personal data, and when people have portable gene scanners this will function much like QR codes do today. eg. You are walking around a forest and scan a forest of oak trees and your phone tells you that Andy was here 50 years ago at the ruins of this McDonald's.

To get this functionality going, here is what you need to do:

1) Get two sides of a marker prepped with a little bit of dirt and a couple of seeds

2) Glue two nails together a fixed width apart

3) Lay the nail over the marker and add a little bit of wood glue around the edges and up the middle

4) Cover the marker with its backside

5) Sandwich the product between other disposable papers and load into the heat press at 200 for 1.5 minutes (or put heavy books onto them for a long time).

Keep the nails in with the thing while it is being pressed to keep the attachment holes for the probe.

Um, would the heat press not denature the seeds and stop them from growing. I think if you can avoid heat would be better!

boy that's a good point! I got some to grow a little bit, but maybe not as well as they would if i didn't cook them first! Thanks for the advice!
