Continuing the thread of spending too much time playing games, when you could have been doing something more constructive.
Mysterious figure seen on Larry King’s tour of Neverland. Hold on to your tour tickets he could still be making an appearance.
The Fourth Plinth is the name given to the empty plinth in the north-west corner of Trafalgar Square in London. It was originally designed by Sir Charles Barry and built in 1841 to display an equestrian statue. There were not enough funds available at the time to create a statue and so the plinth was sometimes referred to as the ‘empty plinth’. Over time it has been occupied by temporary statues and advertising opportunities. But for the next 100 days artist Anthony Gormley has decided that every hour, 24 hours a day for the next 100 days, a different person will step up to the Fourth Plinth and help make a living portrait of the UK. You can watch the live feed here. It was all going fine until the freak tropical storm which included 1/2 inch hail stones battered this poor woman for her hour in the spotlight.
Znicz Pruskowz are a football team that plays in the Polish league. And like most football clubs they cater for the home fans and of course the away fans as well. Except in Poland crowd trouble is so bad they have to make sure that only a limited number of away fans go to games. Mmmm. Note to self, must go to a footie match in Poland.
No comment.
If you’ve got a spare 4 years of life knocking about, you might just be thinking I’m gonna build a huge paper house, right? No.
Well an art student from Tokyo has been working on this project painstakingly for four years and has now competed his masterpiece complete with turning ferris wheel, lights and a train. The only problem is that the walls are paper thin. He he he. Admittedly, it does look amazing, but just think of how many hours of grand theft auto Mr Itou has missed out on (see post below).
Not so plain paper here.
I used to own a proper pac-man arcade machine. Stupidly I gave it away so the less said about that the better. But what it means is the sound of the game is ingrained in my brain form the four hours a day I used to spend playing it and it brings back fond memories. Imagine my excitement this morning when I see some clever lego fan has gone and painstakingly put together a whole host of arcade classics in lego and animated them. Damn! If only I hadn’t wasted my time playing the game I could have done something constructive.
Which has got me thinking, I wonder how much of my life I have spent playing games instead of doing something that could have been more creative? Hmmmm.

This beautiful music video is for Hauschka (a German experimental pianist) the less said about that the better and don’t let it put you off. Was made by a young director called Jeff Desom.
Desom made it all by animating found postcards, and photos from the U.S. Library of Congress. The result is a very beautiful.
