I have few pieces of artwork in this exhibit, which is now on display at the Sloan Museum in Flint, Michigan.
Web-Based Tools Teach Math to Students
“Troy, N.Y.— A researcher at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has uncovered mathematics embedded in the designs of various aspects of native and contemporary culture, from traditional beadwork and basket weaving to modern hairstyles and music. Using the discovery, he’s developed a series of interactive, Web-based teaching tools that are capturing the interest – and imagination – of students in math classes
Genetics Tool Inspires New Method for Dating Old Art
“A molecular biologist has borrowed a technique from genetic science to date hand-printed art. The so-called print clock method, developed by Blair Hedges of Pennsylvania State University, could help historians and collectors pinpoint when thousands of undated, hand-printed materials were created.” – Scientific American, June 21, 2006 Soooo cool!
Rare Rainbow Spotted Over Idaho
This rare type of rainbow is called a circumhorizontal arc, and it was photographed on June 3 in northern Idaho near the Washington State border. The arc spanned several hundred square miles of sky and lasted for about an hour. “It is caused by light passing through wispy, high-altitude cirrus clouds. The sight occurs only when the sun is very

The Declaration of Evolution
When in the course of organic evolution it becomes obvious that a mutational process is inevitably dissolving the physical and neurological bonds which connect the members of one generation to the past and inevitably directing them to assume among the species of Earth the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and Nature's God entitle them, a
Ode to My Favorite Keyboard
My husband said I should take a picture of my keyboard and post it. See the grooves in the letters E,S and D? Yeah, those are from my fingernails! There are similar grooves in letters R, N, M, L, C and V. It's a Dell QuietKey keyboard, though I'm sure it would be way more quiet if it weren't for
Urban Graffiti
I don't know where my fascination with graffiti stems from, maybe it was growing up in a depressed urban area. I've seen a lot of it on the streets of Flint, Michigan. I find what people choose to say with a can of spray paint very interesting. The world is their canvas. This site, www.picturesofwalls.com, contains 4 galleries of photos
How Did the Romans Multiply?
Sometimes I lay in bed at night and ponder the wonders of the universe. Who decided that the long yellow fruit should be called a banana, and how did he convince everyone else to call it that as well? What was the force that seperated matter from antimatter? How on earth did they multiply roman numerals? Then I literally StumbeUponed
Humans
Humans Agent Smith: I'd like to share a revelation during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species. I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply
Savage Animal?
Sometimes at night my husband and I turn on the TV as background noise while we drift to sleep. Sometimes, we fall asleep to Letterman, sometimes it's a show on Discovery, but lately we've been catching bits and pieces of this show on VH1 called SuperGroup. The premise is really lame… to bring metal back to the forefront of the
Novus Natura
You'll never believe the ungodly amount of detail that has been crammed into this collaboration drawing by Lars Peterson and Ben Tolman until you see it first hand. It's called Novus Natura and it can be viewed in full, all 33″x42″ of inked eye candy, or it can be viewed in individual panels. Prints of this artwork are unbelievably inexpensive.
Shameless Plug
Stacy's Weekly Mashup Archive – I thought it would be a whole lot easier for everyone if there was an archive compiling all the links from mashups of yore, so there you have it. Every week I choose 10 Web 2.0 sites and link to them in an article on Tucows each Friday. If you have a Web 2.0 site
