Five for Friday

Happy Friday everyone! It is a particularly splendid day for me because I spontaneously was given a day off, so I am off to the Sunshine Coast to eat, drink and be merry.

Still, a five-for-Friday;

Scientific 7 minute work out. Even I could manage that.

An artist an designer uses food to create plate-art.  

Make-your-own pixilated poster design.

Mr and Mrs Smith; luxury and boutique hotels. I can't afford any of these but a girl can dream. And drool a little in hopeful anticipation.

And on a more sobering note;

Excellent analysis by Time on our costly and ineffectual asylum-seeker policy.

Vice Presidential debate: an non-intelligent commentary

I did not follow today-ish's American Vice Presidential debate. I didn't follow the Presidential debate either, but by all accounts Mitt back-flipped on every statement he ever made and confused the heck out of Obama, who floundered as a result.

The closest I came to following either was reading about them on Twitter. Which was not particularly instructive but was entertaining.

So I am not going to attempt some super-intelligent commentary on the debate. Instead I am going to redirect you to the debate, retold in gif form

Vice Presidential face-off gif-ified.

Enjoy.

May I have your attention please?

In more US election vids, here's a fairly hilarious one. (Well, it's interesting if you know anything about Mitt Romney, I guess...)  Amazing editing job, too.
