Clever CD Hole Art Printing Ideas
Inkjet printers that print on the label-side of CD/DVD’s are the norm these days. As are the special printable discs to use with them. So it’s only natural that creative people will get creative and come up with some clever and artistic ideas to use all that nice white printable space. Beside just printing the boring details of what’s on the disc.. or that DVD cover you downloaded, for that movie you certainly did NOT download.

Monday Morning Sunrise
Just a quick sunrise snap out the side window this morning, timed to a certain level of perfection at 92km/h. And another pic taken just minutes after, only a few km’s further down the same road.
Not bad for B.C. (before coffee)

A Change Is As Good As A Holiday
The good folk over at WORTH1000 are in the middle of a contest where the idea is to take an existing movie title and change just one letter to make it into a different movie… complete with adjusted artwork. Some really clever entries are being submitted.

A Life Size Whale Inside Your Monitor
This is the yang part of today’s Yin-and-Yang of whale related posts. Designed to balance out the destruction and gory’ness of the previous posts in our triumvirate whale series.
The crew over at the WHALE and DOLPHIN CONSERVATION SOCIETY have managed to fit a full size adult BLUE WHALE inside a computer monitor. And what’s more, through the magic of the internet, they are able to offer this amazing feat of nature and physics, to it’s readers, including YOU. 
.
Click the picture above to see a sample of what your whale will look like. Click HERE to download your own lifesized blue whale into your monitor. It doesn’t matter what size monitor you have. I’ve tested it with different sizes and the elements of your whale remain the same life-size across all devices.
As you’re scrolling about your blue whale, consider that you are look at the LARGEST creature to ever exist in the six billion year history of our planet. Bigger than any of the dinosaurs, bigger than any other animal, bigger even than Oprah before the Atkins. Blue whales are typically 30m long and weigh 180,000kg with hearts as large as a Volkswagon Beetle. When nursing from their mothers, they drink 400 litres of milk and gain 90kg of body weight per DAY !!!
Sadly little of substance is really known about these magnificent creatures. We don’t even know for sure how long they live. The longest recorded study of a single blue whale is only 34 years. Estimates are they live for at least 80 years. But we won’t know for sure for some time yet. We don’t know where they breed, the details of the mating procedure. Which must be an impressive event given that the blue whales penis is thought to be over 2m long, but even this is speculative given that a true measurement of an erect male blue whale penis can only be made during mating, and we don’t KNOW where they go to breed.
