Random www Finds - Part 2

Here is a site that claims to be able to predict who is going to be voted of of American Idol by measuring the busy signals.
Sounds very scientific to me.
Don't worry about any spoilers, it hasn't been that accurate.

Random www Finds - Part 1

Here is part one, of some random finds from the world wide web, that got my attention.

The Stockholm Subway

I have been fascinated with city building and infrastructure for years. I'm pretty sure that's where my addiction to SimCity comes from.
Here are a couple of stunning pictures of the Stockholm Subway.

Paris Hilton - Stars Are Behind Bars

So its been awhile since I have had the urge to write anything....
Who could resit on making a comment about Paris Hilton getting sentenced today to 45 days in jail.
Priceless.
Her sentence will start on June 5, and the judge made sure she wouldn't be allowed on work release, furloughs, use of an alternative jail, or electronic monitoring instead of jail
Loving it.
Just goes to show all these celebrities that they are not above the law.
Unfortunately for us at least she probably won't be there very long. Michelle Rodriguez was sentenced for 60 days for the exact same offense and served about two hours before she was released do to overcrowding.

Oh yeah she was about twenty minutes late for court appearance, even I wouldn't be late for that, and they don't call me "ish" for nothing.

Perez Hilton

Love this video.

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.
Here is the link 'casue I can't figure out how to stop the video from auto playing.

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.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter everyone. Hope the bunny was good to you.
