A couple of interesting things:
  • The the slowest and longest piece of music in history. It's happening in Halberstadt, Germany... and it will be there till, hopefully, 2639. So you know, if you can't make it tomorrow, you still have some time.

  • The inside of cucumbers can be up to 20 degrees cooler than the surrounding air. Merci QI!

  • So you don't like sushi but you like Italian stuff (I'm not talking about pizza here), how about some Italian sushi? Actually here you have step by step photos. Now you know what to make for dinner.

  • Iran officials see "Zion" written in the Olympic logo. I thought we all agreed that the closest thing that logo came to was... umm... how to say it nicely? You know... Lisa Simpson doing something not necessarily PG-13.

  • And finally this is kind awesome, ten drugs you should not take when driving. Those Germans! (I also like the one with the ten things not to do in a public bathroom but I can't find one with subs to link)


As it's March early, time to prove that perhaps spring isn't that far away. I have to try every known methods to convince myself of that because all the greyness and the rain are sure making it hard to remember.

Once you see it, it can't be unseen. Back in the day someone had actually animated the logo... much more vivid, in a way. That day the whole 2012 Olympics thing lost its credibility for me.

For me, the real scandal is this:

This is not the first time the imagery, which cost a reported £400,000 to design has caused uproar.

Are they kidding?!

Logo design and I so don't get along, I never get it... like my "new" university's logo(s), for me they're all just a capital A with a different punctuation mark and look rather silly (I actually have had peeps ask me during a conference presentation if that was the real logo)... but they've won all these design awards. I bet someone out there really thinks that £400,000 was a well justified sum.

I completely forgot about that logo, but I remember all the hubbub caused by it when the image was released. I like these pictures a lot :). nice and crisp and i want that lens.

That lens is definitely one of my best photography purchases... sure it's no zeiss or leica combo but for micro 4/3 it's pretty damn good.
