AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a creative contest where participants submit images representing the theme of "Z." Voting is organized into two groups, with each participant allowed one vote per group. Several entries are highlighted, including Robphy's "Zero," ~christina~'s "Zebra," and others featuring "Zipper" and a "Zircon-studded pendant." Participants express their preferences, with notable praise for ~christina~'s zebra for its beauty and Robphy's photo for its composition and focus. The conversation emphasizes the challenge of capturing live subjects compared to static objects. A reminder is given that there are less than two days left to vote in the first round of the contest.

We have creative people here coming up with a lot of Z's. The voting will be in 2 groups, and you have one vote to cast in each group.

Please vote for the best picture that represents our theme, which is something that starts with the letter "Z".

Hey, my entry was Zip, Zilch, Zero. :biggrin: I was hoping for extra points for using extra Z's. :rolleyes:

Anyway, I love Christina's zebra...just beautiful.
 
I thought Moonbear's entry waz very clever. :biggrin:

But like Moonbear, I love ~christina~'s Zebra.
 
I liked Chrisina's Zebra too, but Robphy's shot was nicely planned with great focus, great color and excellent perspective. I especially like the skewed Z square to draw more attention to it. So, I had to vote for Robphy.

That was my second choice...very close second that is. I think it's harder to get a good shot of a live animal than a stationary scrabble board though. :biggrin:

You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
