Digitally Imaging the Unicorn
Scott Kirkpatrick makes reference in his Leica M8 post to the Leica S1 and the unicorn tapestries. Here's where you can find the utterly charming story of the Chudnovsky Mathematician (two brothers who insist they are one mathematician occupying two distinct bodies), the computer called It built in part with supplies from Home Depot, and the digital imaging of the tapestries. It's a long article, so perhaps you'll have to wait until you have time, but it's fascinating—not to be missed.Posted by: MIKE JOHNSTON, thanks to Nick

I read the article.
WOW!!
Read it!
This is a fascinating story.
PBS's Nova did a show on this project, which is how I first saw the story. Reading this makes me want to see that show again!
See Nova Science Now for an interactive simulation of the problem that the Chudnovsky brothers encountered.
nicht schlecht!
Thats an amazing article!
I agree, kool story.
If The New Yorker is normally this good, I'd take a subscription. (They are not on newsstands in the UK that I've seen.)
... But most of it seems to be political, from what I can see on their site. What do you say, good magazine?
"What do you say, good magazine?"
I subscribe, and pretty much read it cover to cover. As with any magazine, some issues hit me better than others--but then, some weeks the cartoons seem funnier, too. It's probably half dependent on my mood.
