Great Canadian Mural Mosaic

16-Jan-08

Cochrane is only about 15 miles from Calgary so if you’re ever up to Calgary, take a side trip and go see this booming town. This mural is a sight to behold.
*If you look at each tile individually, you can see how different each tile is. Someone assembled all the tiles [...]

Happy.. hic!.. new civil year

What Do I Make?

17-Dec-07

This is for all those teachers who are back at school. I heard on Internet radio today…

Israeli Version of “Survivor” Premieres with Animal Abuse

16-Dec-07

As I am writing this, the first episode of the Israeli version of the hit tv series “Survivor” is being aired on Israeli television (channel 10).
Having bought the rights to the show, it is so far a fair imitation of the original series, this one shot on the Caribbean Islands.
So far, survivors were split into [...]
