Stephen Wiltshire is a British man who was diagnosed as autistic when he was a child. He's also been noted for his exacting memory, which allows him to recreate [in drawings] vast scenes he sees only once. This video shows his 16-foot-panorama of Rome after taking one helicopter ride above the city.

Video duration: 53 seconds

I had never seen a projection whiteboard before -- ah, technology -- so it's taken a little bit of getting used to. The students usually don't get a chance to do anything with it, so they took advantage at the end of our English class last week. Off camera, two girls were asking me the name for the insect pinched in one girl's fingers. It was a damselfly, I think.
