Here is something to live for for all of you Harry Potter fans out there – an official trailer for “Harry Ptter and the Deathly Hallows”. Apparently they stuffed so much into that part, that they had to break it into two. I wonder how that will go with the movie going crowd and the pirates.

Looking through the collection of World Cup photograph’s at Boston Big Picture, I had to pick these two. The first one made me think of how quickly things change, especially when context is given. Anyone looking at this picture a month ago wouldn’t think anything negative. It’s a pretty much classic shot of man, music and nature. However now, after all that vuvuzella noise, I’m sure there are plenty of people who would be disgusted by the view.
The second picture answers a question that is asked by many people of several generations. The question that asks what is there to enjoy about football and why would anyone even consider attending a match. This is not the only answer of course, but I think this is the easiest to understand. Yes, hot chicks are apparently a part of a stadium crowd.
I don’t think I have a list of things that I wouldn’t do, but if I had, I’d put “never go swimming in the pool of Marina Bay Sands resort that just opened in Singapore” somewhere high up that list. As high up, in fact, as this pool.
I’m too afraid of heights, even if it said that the pool is perfectly safe.
But swimming to the edge won’t be quite as risky as it looks. While the water in the infinity pool seems to end in a sheer drop, it actually spills into a catchment area where it is pumped back into the main pool. At three times the length of an Olympic pool and 650ft up, it is the largest outdoor pool in the world at that height.
Update (July 29th, 2010): more pictures of this resort are available here.
