Cirque de Solei is in town! Kooza is the name of the performance.
They usually setup at Concord Pacific Place, which is basically between Rogers Arena (formally GM Place) and the old Expo 86 ball, Telus World of Science.
Anyways, the tent went up a few weeks ago…and this is how they do it!
The Capilano Bridge sits off the north end of the Lions Gate bridge in West Vancouver. It is an integral part of the commute from the North Shore to Vancouver for many people everyday. The BC Provincial Government recently decided fund a $40 million project along with the Government of Canada’s $290 mill infrastructure stimulus fund project to refit a new bridge to ease congestion.
The project website is here – Old Capilano Bridge if you’re more interested in whats going on.
Anyways, I don’t care a whole lot about the politics behind the bridge. What was cool are the time-lapses involved when they temporarily moved the old bridge over so they can construct the new bridge in its place.
There are 2 timelapse videos & 1 animation:
One from the West view
One from the East view

Well I’ve updated hestonk.com and picaday.ca to wordpress 3.0.
I also changed the theme to the default wordpress theme for now until I find a new one. I felt this one was very plain and simple which is what I’m looking for. No more fancy-weird colour schemes and small layouts. I can now probably fit 720p youtube videos into the posting areas of layout now.
That doesn’t mean that I’ve really posted anything or actually “updated” the blog at all, and I’ve still barely posted to picaday.
I do have about 6 months of Olympics photos, that I took while I was working. I think I’ll start a “Reliving the Vancouver Olympic Games” series on picaday.ca in a short while.
Stay tuned!
Found this the other day…..Head on over to Vimeo to watch it in HD, its worth it.
In case you’re wondering why things look miniature-like. This was shot with tilt-shift lenses to change the focus plane.
There’s a nice online-interview about the video here.

Ok, actually, from talking to my mac fanboy friends, the game doesn’t work too bad but they mainly have REAL PC mice with mousewheels and etc…
Here’s a funny snippet from the Steam Forums.
MacUser: “How do I select the other portal”
