Bill Gates completed his fourth reddit AMA (ask me anything) yesterday; it’s worth a read if you any interest in the thoughts and opinions of the world’s richest person.

As part of the validation process, AMA participants are asked to verify themselves, typically by posting a picture or message on another verified account such as Twitter or Facebook.

In Gates’ case, his verification photo was the recreation you see above. The original was taken 43 years ago in 1973 when Gates was still in high school; the attention to detail is pretty awesome.

Be sure to check out Bill and Melinda’s 8th Annual Gates Letter, always an interesting read.

This Guy is Taking Balloon Art to the Next Level

Jason Secoda (Airheads Entertainment) is an artist and entertainer that uses balloons as his medium. Based in Philadelphia, the artist has been making balloon art for over 15 years. On his Facebook page, he describes his philosophy:

“My philosophy on balloon art tries to shatter the ideas that balloon art is cheesy and that it’s only for kids. I’m very detail-oriented, and as a result, my work is layered and complex. During events, I often find just as many adults enthralled with my work as children are. In short, I make quality, upscale work for all types, and all ages of clientele.”

 

Below is a small collection of Jason’s fantastic work. To see more be sure to check out his Facebook page.
