Adventures in Creativity

PS: Because everything from down under is awesome, and these wallabies will hop right up to you. 

PS: Last year, I did get his Erdos number to below 10 because I know scientists who know mathematicians. ; )

PS: For some reason, you can’t take pictures of the volunteers or librarians in my local public library. I hope they still got to enjoy the cookies.

Item 201: Show us something you find beautiful that most others would deem ugly.

PS: I did it funko pop style using pizza crust and egg yolks with food coloring. 

PS: This took me 3 days to do, and it about killed me. I persevered for the sole reason that I have too many degrees to fail at making a children’s toy invented in the late 19th century. 

Item 154: Let's see the Leaning Tower of Gishwhes.

Item 148: Make a highway rest stop more restful - make it a paradise.

PS: I just realized that I didn’t follow the directions, but I used an actual microscope with a scientific camera attached. The scale bar doesn’t lie. So I totally missed those 65 points.

PS: My favorite item that I did. 

Item 120: Stand in front of your garden holding up a sign with your best unorthodox or hard to believe gardening tip for the First Lady of the United States. Tweet it to @MichelleObama and include "@gishwhes" and "#gardeninghack"

PS: That’s the holy water flask.

Item 106: The water crisis is a leading global risk to society. Let's see a "Toilet to Tap" media flyer: make it glamorous and convincing so it stands out from all the other one's out there.

Item 102: Many school music and art programs are underfunded. Find a local school art program that needs instruments, art supplies, etc. and donate a needed item to it (as well as try to find others to donate to it). The image should be of you presenting the item(s) to the teacher/administrator at the school.

Item 95: Show Kim Kardashian how to break the Internet.

Item 94: VIDEO or IMAGE. @GISHBOT ITEM. (If you choose video, it may be up to 20 seconds but you can do an image as well.) A robot (Hitchbot) successfully hitchhiked across Canada, Germany and the Netherlands but then fell into the wrong hands in the US and was vandalized: http://www.cnet.com/news/hitchbot-is-dead-long-live-hitchbot/. We’ve discovered he was a distant relative of Gishbot’s (currently in mourning). In honor of Gishbot, let’s help his robot relative get back on his feet: reconstruct Hitchbot and treat him to a fun day or night on the town (roller-blading, boating, picnic in the park, dinner at a fine restaurant, opera, movie, nightclub dancing, etc.) and then send him off with a stranger (unless your friend is cosplaying as Hitchbot in which case take your friend home when you’re finished). Tweet your video to @hitchBOT with @gishwhes and #hitchBOTreturns in the tweet BUT SUBMIT US THE IMAGE OR VIDEO, NOT AN IMAGE OF THE SOCIAL MEDIA POST.
