    I believe he was one of the subjects of Oliver Sach's essays in An Anthropologist on Mars ("Prodigies"). The author spends a period of time with him and his family and provides a bit of background information on him, all in all, a very fascinating read. #artists

    Full Tokyo panorama took a little time to load but it is striking (Click on his name just below the detail).

    I saw a PBS special on this gentleman. He is truly amazing. The detail on the buildings he creates are exactly the same as the originals -- down to number of window panes in a building.

    As a parent of two on the autism spectrum, I find it inspiring to witness Steven's gifts. Brains are tricky things. Steven may be impaired in one area neurologically, but it has opened up new, fantastic possibilities in another area of his noggin. #artists

    @bytememehard: yeah..because him being autistic should be the first thing we know about him as a human being. As a school teacher, I could never refer to my students as "dyslexic Larry" or "ADHD John". This man should be celebrated not labeled.

    You post stuff without minimal research? You do less research than a tabloid, who at least take the time to make up 'sources'? That's really sad for any type of journalism. Not to defend Dan Rather, but is this site not a bit hypocritical making snarky comments about him and his lack of research? I would be interested in a response from Hamilton Nolan, maybe I am missing something and have no problem being corrected on this!?

    "My name is Bart Calendar and I am a well known artist. For my next project me and five of my drinking buddies will sit around a table in a bar. People will be invited to bring their grandparents and older relatives to us. We will interview them and then decide whether or not it is OK for their children to kill them. We will take into account political affiliation and potential inheritance amounts as well as the cost of their current prescription drugs. After each end of life order, my death panel will do a round of shots.

    As part of this project we are extending an invitation to Roman Polanski's family members if they are interested in having him be the first septuagenarian we evaluate.

    Our goal is to help people better understand family relations, the American health care system, and the danger of using hyperbole in what should otherwise be a reasoned and rational debate."

    Can we all forget about Roman Polansky if he just goes through the rape tunnel?

    Oh, I so want to go do the rape tunnel. The uncomfortable silence when he realizes that someone who could just beat him silly (I surely wouldn't have to actually do it) just crawled out would, truly, be art.

    That said, wouldn't entering the rape tunnel confer some kind of consent, thus making it not a rape tunnel?

    So all those sidewalk detours that I have to walk through when there's construction going on isn't called a Rape Tunnel?
