Great News, 01 Jan 2011

My apologies for the long delay since my last installment of Great News. It's not for a lack of Great News, it's just been a busy season in our household, and now that the boy is walking - well things are even busier. Here goes the first Great News of 2011:

1. This probably isn't new News for people in the area, but for the rest of the world what could be better than a burger off the periodic table? The Miracle Of Science Bar + Grill in Cambridge, MA serves it all up geek-chic: Miracle of Science Bar + Grill.
2. Well, leave it to the microorganisms... how cool is this? Rock paintings in Australia are still colourful works of art not because of the paint the ancient artists used, but because of a black fungus and possibly a red-pigment producing bacteria: Ancient Rock Paint BBC News.
3. The top ten finalists for the illusion of the year award 2010 were announced, and the winner is - well take a look for yourself and while you are at it take a look at the other 9 finalists: Illusion Contest 2010.

Well, that's all I've got for this episode. As a friend pointed out today's date is 11-01-01, which is pretty cool and hopefully marks the beginning of a fantastic year for you.
