Brent’s done a refurb of Extended Abstract<\/a> as part of his upgrade to WordPress 1.5, so you should go tell him how nice it is (or give him a bunch of crap like I did). In the process of telling him how nice it was, I chased down a few links that I hadn’t had time to click on before and turned up some cool images:<\/p>\n

\n
• The entries for The First Annual Art of Science Competition<\/a>, including the cool “Transgenic neural stem cells” by John Dimos above.<\/li>\n
• Some really cool images of pears<\/a> (yeah, pears) by Russ Widstrand<\/a> (which has a pretty interesting site design as well).\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  The Japanese cast-iron cooking tools<\/a> were pretty nifty, too.<\/p>\n
