PUT A BIRD ON IT
Hipster crafts tend to involve a preponderance of woodland creatures — as when an LA couple, wed at the Natural History Museum, took their shots wearing animal masks in front of a menacing taxidermied bear.
Fake or dead, animals — and other hipster motifs, like anchors and bicycles and oversize glasses — carry a subtle message: We're not really grown-ups getting married, we're on a pirate ship/field trip/child's recreational vehicle. These affectations neuter what was once a sexual rite of passage and serve as an incantation against any encroaching responsibilities.
Don't worry, though — the happy couple won't be returning that red KitchenAid mixer from their registry. Semi-ironic homemaking is so Bust!

This year saw some tech wins (public information), some losses (privacy), and many more questions for the future of an increasingly wired world. (Example: Is anything secret anymore?)
