This is one of the coolest twists I’ve read about in awhile but what if Ferris and his girlfriend Sloane are merely the figments of Cameron’s imagination and the culmination of the movie is him breaking out of his psychosis by destroying his dad’s prized car.

Complete mindbender!

Makes me want to watch the movie again.

Go read about this and other supposed fan theories that make the film better over at Cracked [caution - bad language].

Messi scored 4 goals against Arsenal in the quarterfinals for the European Champions League.  It was a stunning display of dominance that has brought on accolades comparing him to Maradona and Pele.

And he’s only 22.

The Offside has a great article of the 10 ways to stop him.

10 Ways to Stop Leo Messi

Mount Everest from a Mile Above  …linky

This awe-inspiring photograph captures the majesty of Mount Everest as you've never seen it before - from more than a mile above.

The spectacular panorama shows the breathtaking landscape of the Himalayas from six miles above sea level. It was shot by an intrepid British photographer wearing breathing apparatus in -56C temperatures 36,000 feet up.

It is believed to be the highest panoramic picture taken by hand from a balloon, and was described by mountaineer Reinhold Messner as the 'best snap on earth'.

'Best snap on Earth': Everest dominates the picture, shot from 36,000ft and in -56C temperatures by Leo Dickinson on the world's first-ever balloon flight over the highest mountain. The curvature of the planet is exaggerated by the wide-angle lens.

The summit of Everest, the world's highest peak at 29,035ft, takes centre stage above the 11,000ft vertical drop of the Kangshung Face, on the eastern side of the mountain.

British filmmaker and adventure cameraman Leo Dickinson took the photo from the stratosphere during his record-breaking balloon flight over Everest.

With Nepal on the left of the frame and Tibet on the right, the stunning skyline westward shows nine of the planet's highest summits.

These include Lhotse (27,940ft), Cho Oyu (26,906ft), Gyachung Kang (26,089 feet), Nuptse (25,850ft), Peak 38 (24, 904ft), Changtse (24,770ft), Shartse (24,471ft) and Ama Dablam (22,349ft).

Up, up and away: Adventure filmmaker Leo Dickinson in his hot air balloon over the Himalayas shortly before he took the photo

Mr Dickinson, 62 & married, soared to 36,000ft - where temperatures dropped to minus 56 degrees Celsius - to become the first person to fly over Everest in a balloon.

He took this picture using a hand-held 35mm camera with a wide-angle lens while standing in the balloon's wicker cabin. The original photograph was shot in 1991 on the classic Kodachrome film - axed last month due to the rise of digital cameras. It was digitally remastered for the first time this week.

Dickinson of Budleigh Salterton, Devon , said: 'This photograph is one of the finest I've taken, and I'm immensely proud of it'.

'It took several minutes to set up - I was in the stratosphere and carrying bulky breathing apparatus - and I wasn't sure it would even come out'.

'So when it was developed, and it came out like this, you can imagine my delight. It's a scene that I'll remember for the rest of my life.' 

Dickinson's Everest expedition took 10 years to plan, involved 150 porters and 50 yaks, and almost cost him his life. His epic journey from the Nepalese capital of Kathmandu to Tibet was chronicled in an award-winning documentary Ballooning Over Everest.

Now this is what I call an assist.

This article over on Ars Technica makes me envious.  I want to have the spare $1200.  I want to have the spare hours in my life.  I want to have the time and money to have the experience of playing these games on a tablet like the article writer describes.  What an ingenious perfect match.

Chocolate and Peanut Butter, who knew?!

How I rode a Samsung tablet PC to retro role-playing nirvana.

A new creation by Microsoft is posed to revolutionize the gaming experience.  Project NATAL will work with any XBOX360 and is a HUGE step in the race to rule the living room.  Check out this live demo that was on Jimmy Fallon’s show, still a little buggy, but still a huge WOW!!!

I’m scared to think “what’s next?”

Here is the first movie from Ronnoc.  It’s done in Lego stop motion.  The story is a battle between knights and skeletons.  Then a time machine door and out comes a droid.  A heavily armed person follows and he takes care of the rest of the knights.

I’ve posted before about Byrner’s love for the San Juan Islands in the Pacific Northwest.  Recently I got a chance to experience a trip to the US and British Virgin Islands.It is amazing and almost as good,…  okay, it’s better than the San Juans, I’m forced to admit that the VI’s have everything the NW has including 74 degree water, and amazing snorkeling.

Ten days sailing from island to island resulted in several amazing sunsets,  sunny days sailing,

beautiful scenery,

Even with a bit of rain everyday we were blessed with a strong wind and 5 to 8 knots of sailing every time we pulled out the canvas.

This was one of the best sailing trips I’ve ever done, even the scotch was cheap!

The new Star Trek movie!

In these times of economic stress and government insanity it is things like this that make me confident of the future of America.

I’ll take two please (I need to feed three sub-Saharan African countries and that should just about cover it).

* I almost created a new category for the post which was “triple awesome”.

Sorry it took several days, but here is a video right after the final whistle.

*BTW this is not real...just so you know...you don't go out and try to shark surf yourself...cause that'd be stupid.

...but it could be.

The post is being advertised as "caretaker" on Hamilton Island in Australia's Whitsunday Islands.

The new recruit will work for just 12 hours a month. Duties include feeding some of the hundreds of species of fish and collecting the island's mail.

They will also need to prepare a blog, a photo diary and video updates to attract tourists to the area.
