Elizabeth Hickok's Jell-O San Francisco.

Posted by Alex in Arts & Crafts, Pictures on December 7, 2005 at 2:22 am

Elizabeth Hickok depicts various landscapes of San Francisco using jello. This one above is the Bay Bridge.

"I make the landscapes by constructing scale models of the architectural elements which I use to make molds. I then cast the buildings in Jell-O. Similar to making a movie set, I add backdrops, which I often paint, and elements such as mountains or trees, and then I dramatically light the scenes from the back or underneath. The Jell-O sculptures quickly decay, leaving the photographs and video as the remains."

Posted by Alex in Science & Tech, World Records on December 7, 2005 at 2:20 am

Sixteen-year old Michael Viscardi won first place in the Siemens Westinghouse Competition, the world’s most prestigious high school science competition, and a $100,000 college scholarship.

The homeschooled senior solved a century old math problem called Dirichlet problem (which is way too complicated to explain here).

Way to go, Michael! Link

New Mammal Found in Borneo.

Posted by Alex in Animal on December 7, 2005 at 1:01 am

Stephen Wulffraat discovered a new species of mammal in the island of Borneo, Indonesia.

According to the photographers, the animal is

"an enigmatic, red-furred creature with tiny ears and distinctive markings. The leaf that obscures its face makes it impossible to say if it has a pointed snout like a dog or fox, or a flat face like a cat. A second photo, from behind, shows it to have a long, bushy tail rather like a fox, and large hind legs. It is slightly larger than a domestic cat."
