A Portrait of Dice: art and geeks collide
Scott MacDonald, a Zymeworks employee by day and hacker by night, created a portrait using a program which converts any image into a format which can then be recreated into a portrait made up of die. You know, the hexahedra inscribed with symbols that you use to play trivial pursuit.
This, my friends, is geekdom at it's artiest. I mean, if you can use a program and glue one dice to another, this is a way to earn major brownie points with that special someone, whether he/she is geeky or not. Suddenly you'd graduate from "Adult who still has figurines of Darth Vader and Mega Man above their bed" to "Michelangelo di Geek, a sensitive yet unique and sexy being". Do I sound like I want someone to make me arts like this? Because I do. You can transport it to me after you've finished it, then I'll let you on my spaceship for cookies.
Juuuuust kidding. I only let other aliens in here. The armada would have my second head if I cavorted with humans during my scout mission.
Anyway, read more about this work of art and its creator, as well as find out how to do it yourself at Geek.com .

Strange Animal Defenses
So I haven't done much on the animal kingdom but, I am a big fan. One of my most favorite shows is the Animal Planet's "Most Extreme." The insect pictured above is the Camponotus saundersi from Malaysia. This ant goes all suicide bomber and blows it self up when it feels threatened.
