Prophylactic (adj., pro-FLACK-tick)

Protective, or intended to protect against something, especially a disease. What you do each winter, telling yourself that you're not going to get sick this year like you always do, so you're going to drink lots of tea and get sleep and do all those things you "should" be doing.

3D Ship projected onto Water

A Romanian-based architecture firm called visualSKIN created a ship made of water and projected light for the Amsteram Light Festival this year. The installation, called "Ghost Ship," is a representation of a 17th-century ship projected onto two perpendicular curtains of water, making the ship visible from all angles. Really, really cool.
