whirlwind

a late xmas break takes me to new york for the weekend... stay tuned for some moblogging straight from my new hi tech cellphone! east west whirlwind symmetry - exactly the same days I exchanged new york for istanbul last year, I’ll fill in this year.

here I found a useful disclaimer. please read it before I give you a state of the art on my japanese… dutch and japanese are so far apart “in use of words, rhythm and structure” even rats can tell the difference!

and snow at mekkah is one of the search words combinations that leads to this chronofile, apparently… welcome beautiful stranger! talking about mekkah - this is my first hit from saudi arabia.

and talking about snow - there's this Japan Snow Project ad on the small screens inside JR trains for a while now. three ostriches skiing, nothing unusual, been seeing them go down the hill over and over. still they keep puzzling me... japanese hi tech 3d max animation? details too perfectly random, shadows too realistic, ostrich movements and body parts too natural. old school disguise tricks? human knees don't bend that way... to me, even with my nose to the screen, more than anything else it looks like three ostriches skiing. in the summer, I saw a monkey doing pretty amazing tricks on the boardwalk in odaiba, so why not? here you can see for yourself - go for the 'triple jump' version...
