SANTA - ONCE MORE

Hello again.

Well - we've completed the deliveries and are now very tired, slightly hungry (we use up so much energy working at this speed that even after all those treats we need more) and on our way home.

I hope you all have a lovely day and an even nicer year ahead.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

See you again next year.

SANTA HERE AGAIN

Hello,

No time for pictures with this post because I'm right in the middle of things now that I'm in Europe. Will soon be visiting England and once I've paid a quick visit to the Ravens in the Tower I'll carry on delivering.

I hope those of you in the areas I visited earler are now enjoying the presents I left and expect that all those who have yet to be visited will be fast asleep soon.

More later I hope - all the best for now.

SANTA HERE

Hello.

There are just a few hours before I start delivering presents. The reindeer are having their final feed before we go, although they (and I) get lots of nibbles in so many houses around the world we still need to get ourselves ready for our "big" day.

As usual Norad are going to track me - you can follow my progress through this link

Punk-era videos

BoingBoing contributors got a bit nostalgic recently with a couple of posts featuring YouTube videos of punk-era bands. The pictures and links above take you to a few of them.

The rest of the links can be found here and here.

Merry Christmas from CCS-PK

Are you observant?

find it in the minis image

BoingBoing (yes, them again) had a link to this site called :

FIND IT!

They will show you a picture and, as a timer bar goes down, you have to spot AND click on something in the picture that is changing.

Sometimes an object will appear or disappear, sometimes the colour of a section of one item will change.

Good luck - some of them are very, very, very difficult to spot.

EXTRA - It was pointed out to me by a very observant student that there is a link to FIND IT2! when you play Find It. I have included the link here as well - this looks even harder than the first one.

Room in a cartoon style

 

hotel room in comic style

 

After the maze, how about this? It is a room in a hotel in Berlin.

Decorated in such a way that it looks like a page from a cartoon, it is the drawn-in edges to everything that makes the effect work.

The office maze

 

cardboard box maze

 

At first sight this looks like someone has simply dumped a big delivery all over the place. In fact these people simply have too much time on their hands - it is a maze created from cardboard boxes, duct tape and bolts.

Some more pictures here on Flikr.

Retro Aston Martin DB5

Aston Martin

With all the publicity about the James Bond film 'Casino Royale' last month the 'RetroThing' weblog thought about the classic Bond car - the Aston Martin DB5.
