Go to this web site and follow the instructions to take a test consisting of 36 questions. They will play a musical phrase, and then another. You have to tell whether the two are the same or different. The test's creator claims that the test is purposefully made very hard, so excellent musicians rarely score above 80% correct.

Winner of the "That's-not-my-job" award:

Crayons

Diem Chau creates art using crayons and pencils - carving them, not drawing with them. Each piece tells a story. From her web site:

I’ve spent countless hours gathering memories and pieces of different cultures by listening to incredible stories. I waited with childlike anticipation and delight on each storyteller’s words. I believe it’s my time to be the storyteller and to evoke the same delight and anticipation from my audience. Each story is a journey that gives us greater understanding of our past and our culture. Each story is a thread that connects us to each other, the storyteller holding one end and the audience the other.
