The official pictures from the RSA's 2013 Benjamin Franklin Medal ceremony - presented to Walter Isaacson in New York City.
The award dinner was made possible in part by the generosity of members of the Benjamin Franklin Medal Committee.
Proceeds from the event will benefit the RSA-US Challenge Fund and RSA-US Student Design Awards Program, two foundation blocks of the core initiatives of the RSA in the United States. Both of these programs are going into their second year, and both have an impressive track record of inspiring and empowering young social innovators – perhaps among them a future Benjamin Franklin Medalist.
The Benjamin Franklin Medal has a rich history dating back to its inaugural year of 1956, the 250th anniversary of Franklin’s birth and the 200th anniversary of his membership to the RSA. It is awarded to individuals, groups and organizations who have made profound efforts to forward social progress in areas closely linked to the RSA’s agenda. Winners over the years have included General Colin Powell, Senator George Mitchell, Dame Judi Dench, Peter Ustinov, Margot Fonteyn, and David Attenborough. Long time Fellows will remember the Medal presentation to William Hewlett under the stars at Menlo College; or the moving speech given by UK Ambassador to the UN Sir Jeremy Greenstock at the event honoring Phil Lader just a few weeks after 9/11.
Each celebration is unique, and every medalist inspires us in a different way.

So, I just bought a Picnik account! Because I'm too cheap to invest in Photoshop :( But I'm so excited I have access to textures! As you can tell by the above photo...Ha! I hope I didn't go overboard.

With steady hands and a light touch local artists unite their talents to celebrate Ben Franklins 300th birthday. Sign artist and owner of Cavallaro Signs Rocco Cavallaro has combined his talents with fine artist Scott Holloway of Bellingham to create a new seal for the town of Franklin.

I LOVE EPCOT Center. And you can still see some of it at Epcot.
I wish there was more edu in the edutainment there. I think the American Adventure isn't a half bad overview of American history. The theme song is a bit treacly for my taste, but overall it's a very good show with some very impressive audioanimtronics.

So the conversation might go... Anyone else ever wonder why Mr. Franklin looks perturbed in this image? After all, he's on the largest bill that Americans routinely use. Pretty high honor, and yet, he looks like he's ready to spit nails! I know, too much free time to think, right? Okay...

In 1921, the “Hemingray-42″ style insulator was introduced which was an update/replacement for the Hemingray NO. 40 insulator. (The No. 40 had been in heavy production since 1911, for telegraph lines). The “new and improved” #42 model very rapidly gained in popularity for standard open-wire communication lines, and was soon the most popular and common insulator made for both telegraph and telephone lines. Many railroad lines used them for their telegraph communications, and the style became the standard for A T & T long distance “toll” lines. The 42 is classed as a “CD 154″, in the “consolidated design” cataloguing/identification system used by insulator collectors. Each CD number is assigned to a basic shape (profile/size), irrespective of exact embossed lettering, glass color or base type.

Billy Bob Golo was a direct descendant of the Olog-hai created by Sauron. You know, that evil guy in the Lord of the Rings. What that meant was that he wouldn't turn to stone in the daylight. Generally, that's what happens to trolls.
Well, Billy Bob's best friend happened to be Dracula the Younger, son of Dracula. You didn't know Dracula had a son? Anyway, Billy Bob and DY always played at night because that's what vampires do. So, Billy Bob always slept during the daylight hours.
Well, one night Billy Bob went into town to wait for DY and DY didn't show. Billy Bob fell asleep on a bench and when daylight came, Billy Bob found out he wasn't a descendent of the Olog-hai. True story.
