What a hoot. BALITANG CANADA Did a fun piece on my Edmonton show of “Off the Wall in China and Far Flung Philippines” and this aired in the Philippines too I believe. What fun. I hope some of the people I met may have seen it…

Canuck Spaceman Chris Hadfied has been impressing all with his communications from space. This is really cool and short. worth seeing. Space is one weird place!!

YES YOU SHOULD SEE the SPACE ODDITY COVER song too!:

HERE IS THE BOWIE “Original” (but see below for the real original)

HERE IS THE OUTRAGEOUSLY RARE ORIGINAL 1969 “film” that David Bowie made of the song with fun “anti special effects”

GOOGLE CAT! Google Street view mistake creates a new species

wrjphoto — Tue, 07 May 2013 18:44:51 +0000

What a hoot. this apparently happened yesterday (May 6). I would love to find out the coordinates to see where, but maybe that is not posted to avoid alerting Google Street views to fix it. I support that idea… This is spacey, hip and cool! I want a cat like that! I think the cat looks like a Dr. Suess Character!

You can also see some fun garage sale warriors bowing for google cam….

** Since I was asked by a couple people who didnt get how this works… I added a full explanation below..

Here is what is going on if this makes no sense to you:
1) Google maps has a feature on their site where you can see stores, homes etc as you navigate along a map. it is great way to really see what is at a given corner instead of seeing just an aerial drawn map. 2) To do this, they have cars driving around that have these multi camera rigs on the roof that shoot photos at the same time and then computers stitch them together to make the photo map work, but it is not perfect (nor could it be in light of it not being film). Sooooo some things get truncated or blended at edge points on the stills. This likely happened when one camera shot the front of the cat and another shot the back and it assembled funny. I hope that make sense now?

IF YOU want to see what one of the rigs looks like, watch my running the Grand Canyon video and you will see one since in that I speak of the google guys who were carrying a version on their back. the link is here: http://www.wrjphoto.com/enews/enews-15/

REALLY BAD TATTOOS

wrjphoto — Tue, 07 May 2013 11:00:57 +0000

These are monumentally bad. Really entertaining, but be glad these are not on your skin!

I would however hang the” Hello Jesus” (as I am choosing to call it) on my wall

Enjoy

CHOCOLATE BANNED IN AMERICA BUT GUNS OK

wrjphoto — Mon, 06 May 2013 22:35:22 +0000

Yep it is true, it is absolutely illegal to bring kinder eggs into the US and you will be treated very harshly if you do so. I heard a bit on the radio where someone was being threatened about being fined $2500 each for this egregious affront to the US law. since she had 24 of them as gifts, that meant a fine of $60,000 USD. The US claims it is a choking hazard. So banned, but Canada and most of Europe are not so uptight about that.

So to recap… Guns are fine, chocolate is not. Hmmm….

This is so lovely… and complicated. You dont need to watch it all, as you will get the idea, but it is really impressive…

Hope you like it.

HOW TO WRITE GOOD

This is good fun. I am sure we can all learn something from this.

I always liked the phrase “Avoid superfluous redundancy and repetition.

NEW PST NUMBER MEANS I HAVE TO RETIRE MY FAVE COSTCO CARD PIC.

wrjphoto — Tue, 02 Apr 2013 17:09:56 +0000

Well I guess it couldnt last forever. This rediculous photo made me so many friends at costco since it is so silly. Making this goofier still, this was NOT MY FINGER!! Ha ha.

Hoping the rest of this PST transition is a bit easier on me . I guess I will go in for the new card today.
