Crazy Pumpkin Art

For those of you who have lots of time to spend carving a pumpkin (I tried last year with disasterous results) there are some free PDF templates at PumpkinGlow.com.


If anyone makes something cool, email a picture to me and I'll post it on the blog. Try not to lop off any fingers in the process! (If you do, send me a pic of that, and maybe *that* will go on the blog! hehehe)

Sidewalk Art & Jessie

Sarah did this all by herself (ok, I did the outline for the pumpkin). Pretty good, if I do say so myself. :-)

Mmmm... hand....

Now that's a lot of paint!

Check out this awesome TV commercial for Sony Bravia TV's:



Best of all - this is all real, no computer graphics added. Crazy... You can reproduce this at home with 70,000 litres of paint, 358 single bottle bombs, 33 sextuple air cluster bombs, 22 Triple hung cluster bombs, 268 mortars, 33 Triple Mortars, 22 Double mortars, 358 meters of weld, 330 meters of steel pipe, and 57 km of copper wire. Nice!

From the Sony Bravia website:

Our latest TV ad - featuring massive paint explosions - took 10 days and 250 people to film. Huge quantities of paint were needed to accomplish this, which had to be delivered in 1 tonne trucks and mixed on-site by 20 people.

The effect was stunning, but afterwards a major clean-up operation was required to clear away all that paint!

The cleaning took 5 days and 60 people. Thankfully, the use of a special water-based paint made it easy to scrape-up once the water had evaporated.

Keeping everyone safe was also an important factor. A special kind of non-toxic paint was used that is safe enough to drink (it contains the same thickeners that are sometimes used in soups). It was also completely harmless to the skin.

"Ok Go" on treadmills

Thanks to Kim P. for the link. I can't imagine how many wipeouts there were while filming this video. Great song (very catchy), and the video cracks me up every time.

Happy Thanksgiving

On Saturday we went to Springridge Farm for their Harvest Festival we the rest of the Chapman clan, then Sunday was dinner at my sister's. Good feasting was had by all. Good thing I wore my Turkey-Pants.
