The Homemade Contraption

Video: YouTube

Mmm, I’d say it’s an interesting video… but it didn’t do anything, if it at least tipped a bucket of water over a cat or something, I’d say excellent. I think you guys have got way too much time on your hands.

Evening Storms

What a great Evening Storm shot… I love them, I’ve lived in 4 countries. But I got to say the storms around Mt. Kenya; and I guess the Tropics in general, are the most spectacular. They are great to watch, if you are living in a secure dwelling. However, if your in a refugee camp or such, or say in New Orleans, and are poor, storms, but more particularly Hurricanes, won’t be much fun at all. But then at least you’ll be guaranteed a visit by George W… eventually.

Just out of curiosity, has he been around much lately?

Piracy helps fight Global Warming

You know like most representational logic, it’s hard to argue against, and ironically, it is about as valid as the corporations who own the copyrights, preaching about ‘clean’ coal and Nuclear power being valid ways to fight Global Warming, which only a few years ago they were denying.

Remember folks Rupert Murdoch owns a lot of those copyrights, as he does FOX & FOX’NEWS’, who downplay Global Warming and rail against Pornography, whilst titillating their mesmerized audience.

Like I said, it’s Ironic… isn’t it.:)

Einstein, the smart bird on animal planet

This bird is absolutely amazing at recognising it’s owner’s commands or prompts. What a testament to the owners dedication and training, and the intelligence of Einstein.

An Amazing Dog Balances Ball

Video: Metacafe

We all love it when animals do amazing things… and that was a classic example. Most people love dogs… unlike Cats who rarely do tricks. Now I’m going to tell you a story of another Dog trick I once saw.

I met a guy about 12 years ago, from memory, he was an Engineer working on the New Endeavor, the Australian tall ship, which he’d apparently worked on for some 10 or more years. His dog was a Fox Terrier, and he been living on board with is master, apparently since he was a pup.

Anyway, I’d gotten up at about 10am New Years morning… after crashing at about 7am. There were about 700 of us in tents and campers camped on an Airstrip… and it had been a Wild night. Now since I’m not a drinker, I was up earlier than most, because I would be working, and as usual, it was going to be a hard day, largely because most of the other camerapersons were hung over for the first half of the day.

OK, so I get up, step out of ‘the Taj mahal’, as my new dome tent had been christened and the first thing I see is this Fox Terrier madly racing around in circles chasing it’s tail. It eventually caught it’s stub of a tail, then walks crab like on tippy toes up to it’s master’s out stretched hand and places it’s stub of a tail in his out stretched hand, I kid you not!

After I’d got over the initial shock, I realize that the others standing around were just as stunned… it was one of the strangest things I’d ever seen an animal do. So I asked the owner. “Can you make him do that again?” The owner said to his dog as he outstretched his hand. “Give me your tail.” And the Foxie repeated his stunt to the delight of all. I looked at the owner and said. “Bit of free time on board eh?”

Unfortunately, my body was up, but my brain was waiting till I’d had a shower to catch up, so I can’t show you any footage. Sad to say, I was too busy during the rest of the day to chase up the pair, to video one of the wackiest things I have ever seen a dog do, and unfortunately they left later that same day.

But the question still burns in my head. How on earth do you make dogs do such abstract stunts?

My dog wouldn’t even fetch or even heal, and when my mother took him to obedience school; because I was happy with the way he was, she was told after only 2 lessons not to bring him back… because he was too much of a problem; much to my mothers embarrassment. I was so proud of him.

You know he had his skills, for instance he was great at keeping god botherers from knocking on our door and he (with a bit of encouragement) made the Feds real nervous and a little less assertive regarding why I’d declined an all expenses paid trip to Vietnam… I’m not so sure they’d have believed I was my younger brother if Tiny hadn’t been there you know.

I suppose I’m going to be accused of being a sick puppy… again.

Oh well, but it is a funny photo isn’t it?

PC Vs Mac

Image: Stumble

When I first looked at this Image, the second thing it reminded me of a previous post… totally unrelated, it was just the comparison between complicated and straightforward.

Well I have made my decision to get a Mac, most likely an Apple MacPro… I’m just waiting until they come with a on board BluRay and I’m going to do a bit more research on where to buy and how I’m going to configure it.

Hey, if any of you Mac fans have got any suggestions please let me know.

McDonalds FUNNY AD, I would do anything for love

Video: YouTube

I’m not the biggest fan of McDonalds, but this ad is funny. I think though that they may have stole the idea from an earlier Dr Pepper commercial, which I will post shortly.

Weird creepy first McDonalds commercial

Video: YouTube

This McDonalds commercial is strange. Surely McDonalds marketing people could have done a better job of making a clown suit and hat, albeit that this was quite a while ago and early on in the McDonalds history.
