During the recent snowstorm Nemo, New Yorker and Youtuber Brian Maffitt pointed a mobile projector (which was playing The Lorax at the time) out the window of his house and recorded its magical effect on the blizzard.
He’s since posted a full set of pix on his Flickr stream.

When 15 year old Tom Halpin saw Logos Hope in Hong Kong, he rushed on board to meet the crew. In 2009, Tom, then an agnostic, had visited the ship in his home city of Dublin, Ireland with his youth group. During a service on board a man called Justin from Bermuda asked if people wanted to leave their sin behind and truly commit to following God, to stand up with their eyes closed. “I told myself I wouldn’t ever stand up,” said Tom, “but an overwhelming force came from beneath me, I opened my eyes and I was standing up.” Today, Tom helps run a kids club at his church, organising games and teaching the Bible. “Thank you to the Logos Hope crew for giving God the chance to speak to me,” he added.

The Government has resolved to change elements of the incoming property tax but it has refused to yield to the clamour for a fundamental review of the charge.
The move, to be made public today by Minister for Finance Michael Noonan, will increase the number of exemptions to the tax.
But Government sources indicated last night that there would be no reprieve for homeowners who made big stamp-duty payments at the height of the property boom.
Measures to ease the disproportionate burden on property owners in Dublin, a source of contention for some Government TDs, have also been ruled out.
Under one new exemption, however, all local authority and voluntary housing association homes will be put into the valuation band for properties worth up to €100,000, the lowest of the bands.
Under a further measure, previously signalled by Mr Noonan, the tax will not be levied on houses that require remedial work due to damage caused by pyrite.
The rest of you – pay up.
