Ok, I didn’t get owned that badly, but I have definitely been one upped. Last week, I posted a Lego creation of the online personality Chris Pirillo that I made at home. Yesterday, some more Lego creations appeared in Pirillo’s Flickr Photostream. These new ones are definitely better than the ones I did. The bad part is that my Lego is still at my parents’ place, so I can’t try to make a better one.

These were made by someone under the alias Oysterjelly565. I couldn’t really find any info about this guy. Maybe he should have taken Chris’s recent advice to make sure you have an online home. To quote Chris:

It’s great to have accounts on many different places. But if you cannot at least direct people back to you somehow, by having your own personal space to keep track of it all… you’re potentially losing yourself and your identity

…..will the real Oysterjelly565 please stand up….

Here’s the Lego creation:

Two of my buddies, Aiden and Tyler, have just left my home in Victoria, BC to bike across Canada. I went on a 100km ride with them for the first leg and I am glad that I am not going all the way. Just thinking about the whole trip makes me tired. This is the sort the thing that everyone talks about, but nobody actually does. Aiden and Tyler are actually doing it

They are planning on stopping at the Big Valley Creationist Museum in Alberta, which I have blogged about previously. Since last posting about it, the museum has produced a promotional video that I have embedded below. I am looking forward to Tyler and Aiden’s first hand report

Check out their blog and Tyler’s Fickr photostream. Good luck with the trip guys, all the best.

Here’s that Creationist Museum promo video for a quick laugh:

This is the last post resulting from my free time this week off as I am back at school today.

I was back at home, and my old box of Lego from my childhood was beckoning me. I didn’t know what to make, but I knew I needed to make something. I decided to make Chris Prillo’s set up. I have been watching Chris Pirillo’s live stream from time to time. I like his rants and have gone through quite a bit of his stuff on youtube.

Check out my creation of Chris Pirillo below. Sorry Chris for depicting you as a pirate. This was for the fact that Lego has much better pirate figures than ninjas. If they had better ninjas, I would have depicted you as one.

Here are a bunch of pictures that have just been collecting dust in a “to be sorted” folder deep in my hard drive. Most of these are self explanatory. The animated beans are not actually animated, it is an optical illusion. Stare at one to prove this to yourself. The last picture is there just because Montreal is in the middle of a playoff run….Go Habs!!

My presence here has been lacking in the last week due to exams. They are done now and I am back online.

Here is a TED talk by Daniel Dennett. If you have 20 minutes, I highly recommend watching it. Although he is a regular atheist athour, his main field is consciousness. The talk is titled: “Can we know our own minds?”

Here is my latest experiment. I have exams coming up, my first being on Friday (uh oh that’s today), and I am recruiting my readers to help me stay at my desk. I had a few people stop by yesterday. It was only my sister, mom and a few twitter followers. I am now announcing this for the big time.

I have started a live webcam feed of me at my desk. All I ask of you guys is pretty simple: If you don’t see me studying, feel free to verbally abuse me to make me study.

Hopefully, this will be up until my last exam on the 21st. I hope it doesn’t creep me out too much. In that case, I might take it down
