Soon To Be

Christmas is not far away, only 20 days to be precise. This is a Christmas Tree made of car tracks in the snow. 2 in 1 as they like to say. I was kind of hoping a car would come in the opposite direction, to supply the tree with a star. But, didn`t happened, google-image-reality sucks sometimes.

Paranoia Result

Sarah Winchester, the widow of gun magnate William Wirt Winchester (WWW!) was a rather eccentric woman. When her husband died, she became convinced that the house was haunted by all the people being killed by a Winchester rifle. Probably not a minor number. But she decided not to give up without a proper fight, and the process of building construction began. It lasted for 38 years, non stop. Around the clock, until the day she died. The reason for all the work was to build a maze of corridors, rooms and stairs, so that the ghosts would get lost and/or not find her. There are many examples of stairs ending in walls/open air, doors leading to nothing, rooms without windows, etc. The mansion was/is well known for its size and lack of master plan. Mrs. Winchester was a wealthy madam, so the effect of construction work on her wallet is not worth mentioning. In the end there were about 160 rooms, including 40 bedrooms and two ballrooms, one completed and one under construction. The house also had 47 fireplaces, 10,000 window panes, 17 chimneys and three elevators. Painting the house was a work-to-eternity-machine, finally finished with all the sections, they had to repaint again. Today the house is a museum. 525 South Winchester Blvd. in San Jose, California.

G To The Hetto

These identical twins, are carrying a device from the long gone 80s each. Also known as ghettoblasters. A development from "no-bad-boy-would-be-seen-with-the-not-so-powerful-or-cool" tape recorder. The ghettoblaster is capable of playing radio and recorded music at relatively high volume, in stereo. They are designed for transportation and the effect may be enjoyed outside as well as inside. For extreme portability; use batteries. If in proximity of power outlet, cord is recommended.

Run-D.M.C, that is.

Tokyo Sky Tree

Did you know that they`re building the second tallest building in the world in Tokyo?! Just beaten by the crazy guys in Dubai...and I mean, they are in a totally different league anyway. Indoor skiing centers in the desert, the world as islands, a palm. I`m surprised that next on the menu is a simple building around 800 m. Come on, juice it up a little.

Back to Tokyo. Sky Tree will (if they stick to the present plans) reach the height of 634 m. The view will be spectacular. Kampai!
