Ice Sculpting, London

Start of an Ice Sculpting competition in London, next to the Natural History Museum and the ice skating rink in South Kensington. 5 teams from various countries started on Friday with huge blocks of ice, using chainsaws and chisels to turn them into art!
They were doing free lessons over the weekend but not on the Friday so I missed out. And they weren’t going to let us use the chainsaws anyways.

Best Commercials of the XLII Superbowl 2008

Well the Giants just won the Superbowl with 30seconds to spare, but the real highlight of any Superbowl, as we all know, is the commercials!

Each year these are the most expensive commercials on Air, that is what they pay for the 30second spot, not the prouction costs! Superbowl is only second to the final of MASH in record viewers, hence the expensive commercial slots

Unfortunately for some, all the money went into buying the spot, with none left to produce a decent commercial to put in it. But theres always some good ones, here is my top 10! Vote below for your fave, and you can check all the rest out on Myspace.

Cloverfield

I went to see a midnight session of Cloverfield last night, and I guess it was as I expected. It’s campaign was basically viral marketing, and had no title, simply the date 01-18-08.

Anyways, It’s a little hard to write about without spoiling things, but I’ll give it a go.

JTV – Jan 2008

There’s one reason to love New Year in Japan, JTV. This is one of the best times of the year for Japanese TV. There are loads of specials, look backs for the last year, shows that revisit guests and episodes up to 10 or 15 years earlier, and even 24hr Live shows, where some hosts stay on for the entire show. Its totally crazy, and not hard to understand why people stay at home watching TV before heading off to the local Shrine at Midnight. So there’s loads of stuff for this month

Matrix Olympics – Similar to (the original and still the best) matrix pong and matrix pole volt.
