A shout out to this creative block/world builder app!
Gorgeous graphic, fast rendering, many worlds with a totally different environment.
With your imagination, you can build a fun roller coaster track, ride and fly a dragon, ride or even kill a wild boar, build and burn down trees etc... If you think you have build a fancy world and would like to share with your friend, just upload the world you've built to the game server so that the rest of the world can rate and download it to look at what you have done, or continue to build on to make a bigger and better world.

"Equivalent VIII" 1966 by Carl Andre. Detail from some of the blocks - this was as close as I could get because of the security barrier, so I hope it is "macro" enough. Tate Modern currently has a large area dedicated to various forms of minimalism.

Copthorne Hotel, Christchurch. Saturday September 28, 2013.
This shot was taken just after the collapse of the Copthorne Hotel. If I hadn't stopped for a coffee in New Regent Street I would have been walking by on my home. As I sat watching the guy work on the building before I had coffee, I thought it looked unsafe taking down the middle metal beams which he was doing. Just had a feeling something was not right..!!!!! When I was having coffee and talking to a lovely couple that live in Christchurch it happened. We herd this horrendous noise followed with the ground shaking like a 5.9 earthquake. They said what was that and I said the Copthorne Hotel.. I just knew. Then the sirens started and all I could think of was any one hurt or killed..It really unset me. After the dust settled we went to see what had happen and found out that no one was hurt or killed. So had to walk the long way home.. I do have shot of the afterwards as well which I well put up later!
The former Copthorne Hotel "pancaked" during demolition work in the Christchurch CBD today.
Reports on Twitter said demolition workers ran for their lives after the building collapsed in Victoria Square.
Witness Craig Crew said a nibbler was working about six floors up, eating at a vertical beam at the eastern side of the building when a front verandah fell down.
"Next thing the entire building pancacked on itself," Crew said.
The collapse happened about 1.25pm, with people in the area mistaking the impact of the fall for an earthquake.
Jill Ineson was on a bike ride around central Christchurch when she saw the building collapse.
"It happened so quickly. It fell down like a pack of cards," she said.
"The middle of the building just imploded like a pack of cards. It was exactly like the Twin Towers."
"There was a massive massive cloud of dust and you have a sick feeling in your gut and you hope that none of the guys were stuck in that. It was a bit like a massive earthquake. The ground shook. All these ghastly feelings rush into your head.
"After the dust settled, the contractors started to creep around looking pretty ashen-faced."
There were no injuries.
The Copthorne Hotel building was under demolition by Southern Demolition and Salvage. The building's owner had refused offers of help with the demolition from the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority.

Also known as the "Butterfly" block due to it's shape. Built in '73, the only one of it's kind in the area.
This block is approximately 6x6, signed, numbered and made to hang...or place...or use as a coaster. Whatever you see fit. Cheap and lookin' for a good home.
You can look in the "art?" set and see more. Once sold however, I delete them.
All blocks available on my Etsy (link on my profile).

Documentary filmmaker Doug Block had every reason to believe his parent’s 54-year marriage was a good one. So he isn’t prepared when, just a few months after his mothers’ unexpected death, his 83-year old father, Mike, phones to announce that he’s moving to Florida to live with “Kitty”, his secretary from 40 years before. Always close to his mother and equally distant from his father, he’s stunned and suspicious.
When Mike and Kitty marry and sell the longtime family home, Doug returns to suburban Long Island with camera in hand for one last visit. And there, among the lifetime of memories being packed away forever, he discovers 3 large boxes filled with his moms’ daily diaries going back 35 years.
Realizing he has only a few short weeks before the movers come and his dad will be gone for good, the veteran documentarian sticks around, determined to investigate the mystery of his parents’ marriage. Through increasingly candid conversations with family members and friends, and constantly surprising diary revelations, Doug finally comes to peace with two parents who are far more complex and troubled than he ever imagined.
Both unexpectedly funny and heartbreaking, 51 Birch Street is the first-person account of Block’s unpredictable journey through a whirlwind of dramatic life-changing events: the death of his mother, the uncovering of decades of family secrets, and the ensuing reconciliation with his father. What begins as his own intimate, autobiographical story, soon evolves into a broader meditation on the universal themes of love, marriage, fidelity and the mystery of family.
“One of the most moving and fascinating documentaries I’ve seen this year… Mr. Block has put his parents’ life, and his own, into this film with such warmth and candor that it may take more than one viewing to recognize it as a work of art.” – New York Times
“A warm and honest portrait of a marriage at its most mysterious, and ordinary.” – Entertainment Weekly
Doug Block • Director, Producer, Writer, Camera
Doug Block is New York-based documentary director, producer and cameraman. His films have all been released theatrically in the U.S, won awards at leading international film festivals and have been broadcast around the world.
His first feature, The Heck With Hollywood!, followed 3 first-time filmmakers over the course of 3 years as they struggled to finish and find distribution for their films. His next film, the Emmy-nominated Home Page, was a look at the earliest days of blogging and online culture. The subject inspired Block to found and co-host an online community for documentary filmmakers called The D-Word, which now has over 4,000 members from 80 countries.
51 Birch Street, his next and best known film, was a re-examination of his parent’s marriage in light of his mother’s unexpected death, his father’s sudden re-marriage to a former secretary and the discovery of 40 years of his mother’s diaries. It was named one of the 10 Best Films of 2006 by a number of leading critics, including the New York Times, and was selected as one of the outstanding documentaries of the year by the National Board of Review.
His latest film, The Kids Grow Up, is about his relationship with his daughter and only child, Lucy, shot over a period of 18 years and focusing on her last year at home before she left for college. The film is set for a early fall theatrical release and a later broadcast on HBO.
In addition to his own films, Doug works as a producer for other documentaries. His credits as producer include: Silverlake Life, Jupiter’s Wife, Love and Diane and A Walk Into the Sea: Danny Williams and the Warhol Factory, among many others. Between them they’ve won grand jury prizes at the Sundance, Berlin and Tribeca film festivals, multiple Emmys, a Peabody and an Independent Spirit Award.

ODC-Something Was Here
When we moved into this home 3 years ago I noticed that one section of the kitchen counter had a butcher's block on it with various marks. I like having this here, I don't have to worry about hurting it so it is staying warts and all!
We spend a goodly amount of time in a booth at the antique mall last weekend looking for blocks to spell out Space Gun and Sew Pixie. :)
