· Comment

It seems that I haven’t (in the time of writ­ing) added a geolo­ca­tion to one of my favorite pho­tographs, as well as Life-moments.

Breathless Balcony

Tru­ly a “Breath­less Bal­cony.” Tak­en on the third day of a recent Inka Trail trek at Intipa­ta in Peru.

Apple iPod Touch Ad Breaks Yahoo! Games

Note: The music is by The Aster­oid Galaxy Tour, titled “Around The Bend”.

PS. This is the sec­ond Flash ad that I can recall doing this “break” con­cept. The first one I saw to suc­cess­ful­ly fool me to doing a WTF-moment occured this past Sep­tem­ber. It was a Nin­ten­do Wii game cam­paign for Wario Land: Shake It! on Youtube.
