Black Eyed Peas: I Gotta Feeling (LIPDUB Video)

Students at the University of Montreal prepared for a month for this dubbed version of the Black Eyed Peas 'I Gotta Feeling', had 2 rehearsals, 2 takes, and above is the 2nd take, done ALL the way through! CNN even picked it up!

Rio to Host 2016 Olympics

I've visited Rio de Janeiro a couple of times, first in 1994, and again in 2008 (I have family there - and thanks to Facebook and other social media, we're now able to keep in touch!). As I was aiming to visit again in less time than 14 years, what about 7 years... just in time for the Olympics (always wanted to see the Olympics - maybe I'll have enough money to pay for a ticket by then!).

I only hope that Brazil can truly afford to host the Olympics - it appears to have been problematic (financially) for recent countries hosting it (including London) ... and in Brazil it's a well-quoted "fact" that 95% of the wealth is owned by 5% of the people... and of course vice versa. Brazil has enough poverty problems without this adding another layer, so I really hope that this boosts Brazil's economy (and it is encouraging that the Real introduced as currency in 1994, was still going in 2008, and not looking close to collapse!)

Camilla Kerslake

I just had to post about this video, it's so beautiful! Yes, I have met Camilla, yes I do know her Mum, but I wouldn't be so enthusiastically posting about this if I didn't like the music!
I'll be posting on Digital Fingerprint about her use of social media later this week!

Does God Exist?

Interesting video, purporting to be the story of Albert Einstein (say some), asking "Does God Exist?" Hosted on Facebook.

P.S. If you're wondering what's happening on the specs, I can't find my new prescription right now, and haven't had time to take it further. I will!

3 More Specs

OK, I've had my sight test, and yes, my prescription is worse... -1.50 in each eye, so still not too strong! I stuck with my plan to allow myself a limited amount of time to think about it (so preferably this week), rather than exploring EVERY option, and there's a couple in here that both the lady in the shop (and yes, she laughed at me in quite a few others) loved, and then a friend who was in Tesco, had a look, and thought they were good choices... so, further thoughts?!

These specs are on 2 for 1, so could have 2 Tesco pairs... or find 2 Specsavers. I tried Vision Express the other day, and whoever the optical assistant was, just slouched against the counter wondering aloud if he could go home, and even though I was trying them on for about 10 minutes, no one came up to ask if I wanted any help!!

And he, he, found online ordering - was thinking I didn't have any pics of me without glasses...

The online world, you have to love it...
