Bits and Pieces

Who the fuck is Sam Brett and why must The Age expose us to her insufferable cliche-ridden tripe. Am I the only one with a burning desire to stab blunt knitting needles through her eyes? I mean seriously, "girls, hold on to your men" - FUCK OFF!

For the economic geeks out there, or for those who just enjoy some serious graphical representation, have a look at this awesome graph of the US budget. Just amazing.

Bookshelves made of random shapes that you can simply stick to your walls in any shape. I want them.

    Dude! Are you from Syria?
    Those aren't RANDOM SHAPES, they're TANGRAMS. Did you miss Grade 4 or something? It's like educational tetris... you cut up a piece of square paper into a special set of shapes, and then try to re-form them into... er... other shapes. It's like two dimensional origami.
    PS - they're hott. i want them.

    Well maths and stuff was never my strong point, if THAT'S what you're getting at.

    Random shapes - like a kitten, and a man serving drinks whose hat has just fallen off.

    For someone such as myself, I'm far more accustomed to black and white, columns and rows. It was entertaining, but far too aesthetically frivolous for real geeks. Will that stop me from attempting to make it wallpaper? Probably not.

Just follow the freakin rules

On Saturday morning, a 77 year old man was killed after being hit by a cyclist on Beach Rd in Mentone. That someone was killed walking in front of a bicycle is not surprising. Pretty much anyone who rides a bike in Melbourne will have had a pedestrian walk in front of them without looking at one time or another. The difference in this case is that this man was killed crossing with the 'green man' at pedestrian lights, by a 'peleton' of 200+ unofficially organised amateur riders that were either unable, or unwilling to break the bunch and stop in time. I can't help but think that bike/car relations in Melbourne are reaching some sort of crisis point. My daily ride to and from work, mainly along bike-friendly back streets, attracts abuse from motorists (and pedestrians) probably once a week on average. People hate bike riders. As a cyclist, the contempt with which I am treated by those in cars and pedestrians is really quite confronting. A short ride is enough

Brokeback Goblet

I'm aware that this isn't particularly ground-breaking, this video has been doing the rounds, but I want to post it here so I can remember it later. If you haven't seen it, it's another one of those 're-cut' movie trailers , this time featuring Harry Potter and the Brokeback music - remarkably effective. And as Virginia says, "the power of a soundtrack". Listen to it through headphones, or on something with good sound and it will make you teary. Very clever.
