Sony launches it’s sports themed ambush campaign called “The Colours of Sport”.
As Sony is not an Olympic Partners (those would be Samsung and Panasonic) and it’s trying to associate itself with the Olympics (by using Gymnastics, Hurdling, Swimming and Football to represent it), I consider it a classic case of ambush marketing. Though in this case, it’s a well played and legal one, through the use of “sport” which is public domain.

Frozen bubbles are definitely a great idea to play around with for the crowd in Oslo.
Just make sure you share the pictures with me afterwards, ok?
And btw, 32F = 0ºC
Frozen bubbles would make amazing photo props! We’d love to get these under a macro lens, too.
Did you know that you can freeze bubbles? Go outside on any day when it’s below 32 degrees F and try this: blow a bubble and then catch it on the bubble wand. Wait a few moments while it freezes- it will turn into a cool crystal ball before it shatters!
Too cold to go outside? You can learn how to make your own crystal ball bubbles in the freezer with soap by checking out the site below…

Earth from space. I never get tired of these kind of pictures…

Tony Bennett claims George Bush told him Iraq War was “a mistake.”
“To start a war in Iraq was a tremendous, tremendous mistake internationally,” the singer continued. When Stern suggested it was “terrorists” who “started it”, Bennett balked. “I don’t know about that,” he replied. “Who are the terrorists? Are we the terrorists or are they the terrorists? Two wrongs don’t make a right … They flew the plane in, but we caused it … We were bombing them and they told us to stop.”
Bennett recalled talking to then-president George W Bush at a gala in December 2005. “He told me personally that night … ‘I think I made a mistake,’” Bennett said. On Tuesday a representative for Bush denied the story, calling it “flatly wrong.”

Wow. It would be a massive moment if he said that publicly…
TEDxAmazonia - Alexandre Sequeira finds a new meaning for photography
Alexandre Sequeira is a photographer, but he says he is much more interested in people than in photographs. The camera is only an instrument to get close to people. In one of his projects, he spent one year in an Amazon village working as a portraitist.
