This setback didn’t stop us from developing another tech breakthrough to blow minds and change the world.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Since Monday October 26th. Wiltshire began filling in an 18 foot canvas at the Pratt institute, Brooklyn. The drawing is expected to be complete by Friday. You can follow his progress through the live webcam &lt;a href="http://www.stephenwiltshire.co.uk/New_York_Panorama.aspx"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; Wiltshire diagnosed with autism at the age of three displays an unusually powerful photographic memory that he has applied to rendering city scapes. He can look at the subject of his drawing once and reproduce it accurately with photographic detail, down to the exact number of columns or windows on a building. He memorizes their shapes, locations and the architecture.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Update via &lt;a href="http://www.waggleroom.com/2009/4/8/827119/vijay-skips-augustas-16th-hole"&gt;WaggleRoom&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In yesterday’s [Apr 7, 2009] practice round, Vijay Singh came to the tee at the famous par 3 16th.  It has had its fair share of famous holes in one in its time, but this one may take the cake.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is tradition during the practice rounds to try to skip the ball across the pond guarding 16th green and keep in on the putting surface.  Vijay does a whole lot better than that!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Thanks &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/jinjadev"&gt;@JinjaDev&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
