LEGO Game of Thrones Intro!

It's pretty amazing what some people can create. This is a remake of the Game of Thrones intro - but is done with LEGO!

I thought this was so cool because the makers were able to get the kingdoms to build up just like in the original theme. They used a lot of aspects from the original theme and incorporated them into this one. What a great and creative idea!
When I was reading the Youtube comments I noticed that a lot of people were complaining about the music, however I thought the music was better customized, I don't think it would have the same affect if it wasn't.

Season Two Original: 

Hope you enjoyed this as much as I did. I just thought it was very creative and well done. 

Transit of Venus-ing

On June 5th, I went with my friend and sister to the Ontario Science Centre to see the Transit of Venus with a bunch of other people with nerdy interests just like us.
When we were there, a lot of people set up cool devises that I will never know how to do. Some people have pinhole camera's and telescopes and things connected to laptops. It was pretty amazing. Here are a few pictures that I collected while I was there.

There were many more that I was not able to capture on camera, overall it was a wonderful experience! 

Oh, and here is a picture released by NASA:

Sticky Note Tetris Stop Motion Video

In all honesty, I think one of my favourite things to do is look at stop motion animations, and when I see some that only use very simple tools but still look professional, I get very happy!

I particularly like stop motions that take something ordinary and make it extraordinary. For example, the makers of this video took a video game that everyone knew about and mixed it up - giving the viewer something to relate to and something new that they'd want to see. The way the squares break apart and how the entire frame breaks and scatters on her at the end is very well done. I am very impressed with the overall planning and execution of this stop motion.

Spotting Unusual Graffiti on the Internet

I guess the title says most of what this post contains. Here are some interesting words that have been illegally placed on buildings and other man made structures around the world:

In my opinion, I love all three of these. Not only do they make me laugh, but they are not something I normally see. Most of the graffiti I see is tagging - which I personally hate. 

I enjoy the graffiti that shows the artist has a lot of skill, not just the paint and the urge to vandalize a building. I guess these don't take much skill, however I enjoy them just as much as professional graffiti. 

The problem I'm having is answering this question: Are these examples of Graffiti or just vandalism?

Are these pictures art or just words? Or both?

Just something to think about. I would love to hear some opinions!
