Scale Model of Disputed Border Region Found
This finding in Google Earth is reason enough to download and install the software if you haven't already. China has built a nearly 1km2 scale model of a 150,000km2 disputed region along its border with India.

Post Tangential
Though Tangents continues for at least two more weeks, Jess and I are off on a trip overseas in just a few days, which means my final show for the run was last Sunday. And what a final show it was! It's not especially useful to dwell on your successes in improvisation, because the very next week could very easily see you crash and burn, but hey---we freakin' rocked.

Getting All Barenaked
I'm a big fan of Barenaked Ladies. Not only do they make music I dig, but they've got an enlightened approach to user rights, and there is a geeky vein through all of the work they do (I refer you to their blog and podcast).
But with the pending release of their new album, Barenaked Ladies Are Me, they have slipped up a little. It seems they have produced so much new music for this album, that they are going to make different subsets available through different methods of distribution.
From the announcement email:
Order before Aug 22nd and receive as a bonus the "BNL: All New Revue (Live from the Glenn Gould Theatre)" disc FREE, which is a live acoustic version of the new album. [The album's 13 tracks] will also be available digitally with a bonus of two tracks for purchase of the entire album. In addition, a 25 song package called Barenaked Ladies Are Me: Deluxe Edition, will be available digitally (album only). With the purchase of the Deluxe Edition, fans will be have the opportunity to obtain either two bonus tracks OR four bonus tracks for pre-ordering. Details on the digital pre-order to follow. In addtion, a USB stick featuring 29 songs plus other special content will be released Sept 12.
Confused yet? This is more complicated than picking an edition of Windows Vista! As a loyal fan, I want to know one thing: how do I get all the Barenaked goodness that I can without paying for most of it twice (or three times!)? -

Back To The Future: The Enhantment Under the Sea Dance Revisited
Taken together, the BTTF trilogy is still my very favourite film, which for me makes this split-screen synchronized edit of the coinciding events of BTTF 1 and 2 fifteen minutes of pure bliss.

Tangents
Although the show started last weekend, the first one I'm in is tonight, so I have selfishly waited until now to announce it.
Tangents is a show I helped develop over the past few months at Impro Melbourne, and it's very exciting to finally get to show it to the masses.
Two strangers meet at a party and strike up a conversation. The show follows the swirling, weaving, and intersecting paths of that conversation, conjuring scenes out of the subtext to reveal what these strangers might really be thinking.
Come one, come all! I'm playing tonight and next Sunday.
