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.

Alanis Morissette - My Humps

By far the hottest video to hit YouTube in awhile is Alanis Morissette's version of My Humps by the Black Eyed Peas. The video went up yesterday and is closing in on 2 million views. It's not a bad song when Alanis sings it.



Just for comparison here is the original Black Eyed Peas version.

Justin TV

I'm surprised someone hasn't tried this before. Justin has strapped a camera to his hat and uploads live to the internet. This looks like it might be interesting. Gives a whole new meaning to reality t.v. Though it does remind me of that movie with Matthew McConaughey, Ed Tv, and hints of
The Truman Show.



The video doesn't seem to be loading properly so here is a link.

More from the Mountain


We have spent another nice day on Mont-Tremblant. We were lucky enough to get some snow last night for the skiers. Wasn't a lot of snow only about a centimeter, but just enough to make the ski hill nice for the day. The warm weather didn't hurt either. It was about 6C today. Debbie and I walked down to the village to meet the skiers for lunch and did a bit of shopping. I was very proud of myself because I only spent 8 dollars on a new hat. Not bad for all the tempation. Over all its been another nice day. We have to be out by 11am tomorrow so it will be back to reality by Monday night.


The skiers get ready to hit the hills for the day.















Some pictures from the chair lift. Don't they know that Mark and Judy are supposed to be separted at all times.































Here is the group of us sitting in the middle of the village on a break from shopping/skiing having a beer.


















You can just about make out the half pipe that the snowboarders use.
Those damn snowboarders according to all the skiiers.
