With a big enough screen, and high enough resolution you almost feel as if you are there, just after a fleet of road-rollers has flattened every car in the city. Love it.

Remember "Earth Hour"?


A while back we all had ‘Earth Hour’. Remember that. I’ve finally got around to processing the backlog of images on my camera (that’s the problem with a 1 million MB card). Spot the difference between these two images: one taken 15 mins before the start, and the other 15 mins into the event. Right.
Why does this global event fail so spectacularly? My hunch:
1. What? The logo is misleading. It is a big 60. You what?
2. When? So when is it exactly. Well, in the small print, here in NZ, it was at 8.30pm. Half past? That isn’t an hour, it’s half past an hour. 8 is an hour. Semantics I know but it just adds to the confusing information about the event. Can you remember the date? Bet it doesn’t pop into your head, like Christmas. Bit like Easter really, no one actually has a clue and always seems amazed that it is so late or so early this year. If you ask me it should be on, say, the 8th of August at 8pm. Everywhere. Or the 7th of July. But you get the picture. I think Earth Hour is a worthy event because it is just so simple to make a difference… but my limited poll on the event leads me to believe that most people didn’t have a clue it was on that night. And they should’ve.

I stumbled across this cool poster by Michael Tierney. A homage to that movie.
