Dead Snow

Dead Snow: An Instant Zombie Classic

 

Dead Snow is a classic in the ski-bums-vs-Nazi-zombies genre. My suspension of disbelief was most challenged by one element in the story, however:

Why did these people come up to the middle of nowhere with high-end ski gear... but no skis?

Adam Voorhees: Exploded

You should all check out Adam Voorhees' "Exploded" series. Beautiful photography. If these were on t-shirts, I'd want the Etch-a-Sketch and the old-school telephone.

Just a quick reminder to treat Vancouver 2010 tourists kindly. Keep in mind that, for most of them, this is the biggest trip they'll ever take, and they've been looking forward to visiting Vancouver for ages.

MacQuarie Employee Caught Surfing Porn at Work... On the News

Guy gets caught surfing porn at work. In an investment bank. While being filmed for the news... and seems to find it amusing. Maybe we should think of this situation in light of the global economic meltdown, and Australia's resilience in the face of it. Perhaps MacQuarie has some sort of NSFW policy.

International Jet Trash Mission: Gin Martinis by Seaplane

Skot McDonald was in town for a very brief visit (less than 48 hours), and hatched a plan to visit Victoria, British Colombia in order to sample their gin martinis. We headed to the seaplane docks with neither luggage nor plan, but we dressed smartly for the occasion.

The Colts/Jets game was starting. We booked tickets, had a quick lunch, then boarded the seaplane headed for Victoria.
