Le Week Le 25

It's been a crazy week, this week, and right now I'm just waiting for this baby to get sleepy so he can go to bed. I will probably follow soon after. 

Let's jump right in with one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time. I'd love to see a documentary about Manhattan. Maybe there's one out there. I've not actually checked...

These posters for the up and coming Batman v Superman film are very nice. I love the simplicity of the idea.

Now that we're talking about Superman, take a look at what Zack Snyder's Man of Steel would look like if it was in colour.

Do you like Hillary Clinton? Then you'll like her laughing. The internet is a strange place...

Happy Queen, sad Queen. 

The weirdest advert I've seen in a while. 

There are few things I enjoy more than a good ghost town, so in some ways, I can understand the want to leave this incredible collection of classic cars to rot in a forest. There's no denying the moss, leaves, earth, and rust all create a very real sense of history, and maybe even make a bigger impact than if the cars were kept, mint condition, in a museum. They kick start your imagination so much more, I think. Where were they used? Who owned them? What happened? How did they get here? All you have to do is stare, and let your imagination run wild. Beautiful.

To finish off, here are some babies reacting to the new Star Wars trailer (that was really very good). 

Have a great weekend, people. 

Oh wait, here's a good magic trick. 

Weeeeeeeek 24! This Way Nonsense Lies

That's right, nonsense. As usual. Although you might find something useful, I doubt it. Anyway, that's dribble. Speaking of dribble, my son produces gallons of the stuff. It's only been a week but I already can't wait until he learns to shut his gob. No doubt something I'll be wishing for a very long time, but what can you do? 

To start things off, look how cinnamon is harvested. It's kind of like how you'd expect, really...but it's still nice to watch. 

Speaking of food, sort of, check out the top 18 lunches of British people. No doubt number one is accompanied by a bag of salt and vinegar and washed down with a Coke, or a nice cuppa if you're in the office. Personally, I love a good cheese sandwich, but normally have a tuna thing, in case you're interested. 

On a sort of similar note, these are the little things that make us happy. British people, that is. We're simple folk. Can't argue with number 41. I love the smell of pencils in the morning. 

I admit I just saw number 47 on that list. At least we're honest. We're also silly, as is evident in the video below. 

Oh look! This is something useful. Feel free to print this out, or just memorise it (good luck). Look me in the eyes and tell me you knew these. You can't. For numerous reasons. So there.

Naturally, this leads to me to photos of lions. 

These photos were taken by a very lucky man who snapped them just before he got back in the vehicle, and obviously just before Herre Lion bit his head off. If he looks mad now, just imagine how upset he was when his lunch drove away. 

Miaow. 

To lighten up the mood, here' Sylvester Stallone in a bread advert. Yes, that's right. 

A more-realistic-than-Terminator time travel short. 

Here's something useful for you Android users. If you lose your phone, all you have to do is open up Google, type 'find my phone', and hit search/enter. And there it is (of course, you have to have your location turned on  and be connected to the internet in one way or another, but still!). 

Finally, because the sun is out and we all like to have a pint or two in the sun, this wonderful site from Poke will let you do just that. 

Have a wonderful weekend, and enjoy those pints. 

The Return of The Internet (aka Week 23)

Hot on the heels of Jesus being resurrected (or so the story goes), it's week 23 of the internet (I decided to skip 22, even though it really doesn't matter in the big picture. None of this does really). 

I hope your Easter holiday was wonderful. Mine was filled with food, family, and Fyne Ales. I was barely online for the whole week so have no idea what's been going on, so you'll have to excuse me if some of what follows is, like, totally old, but whatever - this is my blog, not yours. 

Now, I can't remember and am too lazy to check if I ever posted the longest US road trip (well, the one to hit "all 48 contiguous states, and includes 50 stops at National Natural Landmarks, National Historic Sites, National Parks, and National Monuments), but now there's a European one. Well, it's not the longest, it's actually the most efficient. You know, like if you were German and wanted to see Europe. On yer bike. 

I'm actually fairly certain I've posted about Bomb Sight before, but it's recently resurfaced and is really very cool, so here it is again (ah! Posted in 2012). See all the (recorded), bombs dropped on London during the Blitz (7th October 1940 to 6th June 1941). There's a lot. None of anywhere I lived though. 

Channel 4 have got a pretty cool series going called Drones in Forbidden Zones. It's, well, drones flying through forbidden zones, like abandoned places etc. Nifty. Here's one of them. 

Don't Hug Me I'm Scared have released a new film. It's as weird and freaky as you might expect. 

It was April's Fools Day during the break, of course. I tried to do one, but someone ruined it right away. Some people... Anyway, I was very fond of the story from New Zealand and BMW.

Google Maps has an interesting new feature. 

If you're thinking about making a website, make sure you make it right. According to this, I did! 

Find out where airport codes come from. It's not always what you think. 

Of course there's something about space, you daft people. Here you go. 

Have a lovely sunny weekend, everyone!
