Wylde Q. Chicken Award
2007 Honorable Mention
Julian Hartman
Conic Cooking
Julian submitted this self-nomination:
My name is Julian Hartman. I am a junior. I guess I am nominating myself, though I think Mr. Russell nominated me
at some point last year. Last year, I made a video entitled "Conic Cooking" for a math assignment. Conic Cooking was
a pretend cooking show, dealing with the conic sections. Complete with conic commercials, this program lasted about
half an hour, and included most of the information that I needed to include for the assignment. The assignment was to
make a conic notebook, a notebook dedicated to the conic sections, like hyperbolas and all that nasty stuff. It
seemed boring. Movies are cool, and you have to admit that chefs cutting up food with big knives are pretty cool too.
So I decided to make a conic-cooking show-movie thing. I think that should receive this award, because I make a
complete fool of myself in this project, had fun doing it, don't regret it, and like money. And I felt the bit about
exporting learning was awesome.

Julian submitted this movie for the 2005-06 WQC award, but it fell behind somebody's desk and
the judges never saw it until this year. So he resubmitted it for the 2007 award. In watching his 30-minute movie,
the judges not only learned many fascinating facts about ellipses and parabolas, but also found themselves giggling repeatedly.
And so in the spirit of Better Late than Never, they present a Wylde Q. Chicken Honorable Mention to Julian Hartman.
