Climbing The Khumbu Icefall at Everest
August 1, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Beautiful footage of climbing the Khumbu Glacier Icefall on Mount Everest. This is one of the most dangerous sections of the climb to Everest’s summit as the glacier is constantly moving and you risk falling down a crevasse or getting hit by falling ice.

Climbing the Hillary Step on Mount Everest just before reaching the summit. A wrong step one way and you’ll end up in Nepal and a wrong step the other way you’ll end up in Tibet. Fun!

Poke and Like IRL

Can you imagine what it would be like if we poked, liked, and commented in real life like we do on Facebook and other social media sites? Huge embarrassment right? But we do it anyway, like it’s completely normal. Some of us (ie. me) need to get our more methinks.

If you don’t know JayFunk is a strange guy who can make even stranger shapes and movements with his hands. He is known as the internet tutting phenomenon. Weird.
Dear 16 Year Old Me – Skin Cancer Campaign
July 7, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Growing up in Australia meant spending a lot of time in the sun and the occasional sunburn. I know this means I have an increased risk of skin cancer and I need to constantly be on the look out for melanoma. The Dear 16 Year Old Me campaign definitely hits home with me. Even though I’ve been really careful in the sun over the last 20 years I fear that the damage was done when I was younger. Share this on Facebook or Twitter if you can as it’s an important message we all need to remember.

Firemen Rescue Kitten with Leaf Blower
July 6, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Watch this video to see some firemen rescue a kitten using a leaf blower. The kitten was stuck down a pipe and the firemen used the blower on the other end of the pipe to blow the kitten out. While this video may look like cruel and unusual punishment for the kitten, the firemen actually did save it and they all lived happily ever after. You might want to turn the volume down on your computer before you hit play because the laughing of the firemen is unbearable. Poor kitty.
Northern Lights Time Lapse Video

The Northern Lights are an incredible phenomenon, one which I have yet to to see with my own eyes. Hopefully that will change in the not so distant future but for now I enjoy looking at photos and videos of the Northern Lights whenever possible. This video from National Geographic is a time lapse video of the lights which is quite eerie.
