Electronic Voting Machine

Sep3

Electronic Voting MachineSince 1996, Brazilian people vote for their candidates using electronic voting machines. Simple and robust, the equipment was specially designed to Brazilian elections by TSE – Tribunal Superior Eleitoral (www.tse.gov.br) – the government agency responsible for election in Brazil.

After typing the candidate numbers using a special keyboard, voters can check their choice on screen, where candidate photographs and other information are shown. Even illiterate people can vote with confidence.

The most impressive is that official results are available just few hours after the election finish.

You can download and build your own Electronic Voting Machine from RecorteCole website.

My first cake

My first cakeAs I told you, Willie Goldman, from tv show “Ace of Cakes” was looking for some paper model designers.

I accepted the challenge and decided to model their ‘Combo burger’ cake. So here’s my contribution to his book. Hope he likes it and put it inside the book :)

You can find the original photo of this cake at http://www.williegoldman.com/aceofcakes/book/selects/Duff32.jpg

Please, let me know what you think about it. It was my first try on food subject, so be gentle.
