Lego Creations: BattleStar Galactica
This sweet frakkin display was fielded by ChiefLUG at BrickCon 2008. Highlights of the display include a thirteen foot hangar, a 45-inch long mosaic of Galactica, and thirty-five ships, including Vipers, Raptors, and Raiders. It was built by Ryan Wood, Mark Sandlin, and Andrew Lee. Check out the full gallery at ChiefLUG's Flickr Photostream. See how the set was built at this second photostream.

Photography: Found Functions
Found Functions is a collection of photographs that rather elegantly demonstrate the beauty of mathematics by juxtaposing graphs and functions against landscapes.
Nikki Graziano is a math and photography student at Rochester Institute of Technology; some of her photographs were recently featured in Wired. Graziano "overlays graphs and their corresponding equations onto her carefully composed photos. ... Graziano doesn’t go out looking for a specific function but lets one find her instead. Once she’s got an image she likes, Graziano whips up the numbers and tweaks the function until the graph it describes aligns perfectly with the photograph."
