Credit Crisis: Visualised

7/03/2009

Yeah yeah, it’s been a while, I know.

Just seen this cool video on Vimeo, I’ve tried to keep abrest of this whole credit thing, but until I watched this I never truly understood just HOW the whole issue started. Worth watching.

Mind Blowing Graffiti

14/05/2008

Just seen this awesome graffiti animation. It must have taken weeks to paint and film, and I’m surprised it didn’t get the guy put away.
The video is very freaky but is truly excellently executed.

Aussie straps in beer, not child

13/05/2008

It’s well known that Aussies love their beer, but it never really sunk in before until I read this BBC News story about an Australian man who was pulled over, only for the police to find a case of beer strapped in with a seatbelt and a 5 year old child sitting on the floor of the car.

The mind boggles sometimes.

Yahtzee Hits Back

12/05/2008

I know I’m a few days late with this, but it would seem Yahtzee doesn’t appreciate the world of hatemail he recieved over this review of Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

He’s hit back with this run down of the worst mail he’s recieved, ridiculing and correcting where neccessary.

Good stuff.

Snarathon

12/05/2008

Snickers bars, after two decades under that name, are being returned to their original and far superior name of Marathon, The Telegraph is reporting.

It took them long enough to realise no one liked the name Snickers.

Someone Please Explain…

29/04/2008

How it is possible to find someone guilty of first degree murder, when there is no body / evidence that the "victim" in question is dead?

I couldn’t say whether he did it or not, but it seems that the whole thing has been based on circumstance.

How Not to Park Your Car

28/04/2008

Some people really just don’t think things through. This man in the blue t-shirt is just arriving back at his car after leaving it abandoned like that on the wrong side of the road and on a zebra crossing, while he popped into the off-licence to buy some milk. Very weird, the traffic was backed up a fair way because of it and a few people had got out of their cars to see what was going on.

Alas from our vantage point I couldn’t hear what they said to him when he got back, but I would assume it was something along the lines of, “What the bloody hell do you think you’re doing?”

Challenge

28/04/2008

The challenge is simple, with one continuous line and without stopping, cross each line with an X in it only once, without crossing a line already drawn.

I’ve been playing around with this on and off and it’s been driving me crazy. It must be possible but I always seem to end up with one line I can’t get to. Try it for yourself.

Poker Evenings

27/04/2008

Twice now we have had poker evenings. I’d never really seen the attraction of the game itself before, but these evenings have been great fun! We’re only playing for a small buy in of £5, and I’ve not won anything back yet. But it’s cheaper than a night out on the town, and is far more fun.
