Will Ferrell - The Landlord

Will Ferrell is not always funny, but this is just hilarious.
Yet also disturbing.
Enjoy.
Some of the language is a bit ruff.

Public Art in Cardiff

I all for public art, sometimes it leaves you scratching your head and wondering if its really art.

Like this loving art piece outside of the National Art Gallery here in Ottawa.



Or this one. I don't know what city its in.



In Cardiff someone has taken things to a whole new level.
This piece is located a the Cardiff barrage.

Here are a few random shots of what most people would see waling around the area.




























For most people it would look just like random swaths of bright yellow paint, but from just the right spot you would be treated to a fantastic optical illusion.


Donkey Kong Tribute

I know that I'm a video game addict, I can't get enough of them.

Evidence here

But these people have taken it to a whole new level.

A few engineering students took five hours and about 14,000 post it notes and made a moving tribute to Donkey Kong.





What does 14,000 post it notes look like?



Look at all the pretty colours.

The Grand Canyon Skywalk



This week a new attraction opened at the Grand Canyon. Its called the Skywalk, its a walkway that sticks out over the Grand Canyon by about 70 feet. The floor is made of glass so as you walk out and look down your about 4000 thousand feet above the ground. The Hualapai tribe has helped build it instead of a casino, and at $25 dollars a trip, it should make back the $40 million investment costs quite quickly.

Facebook

I have a new addiction and its called Facebook.
Facebook is a social networking site similar to msn messenger and classmates.
It started a few years ago for high school and university students in the form of a online yearbook to allow friends to stay connected.
Now its open to everyone.
Frankly its still a lot of young people but I have managed to hook up with many old friends that I haven't had contact with in over a decade.
Check it out and if you know me add me I would love to talk to you.

Find out for yourself why its affectionately called Crackbook.
