you.never.know

A little splash that I created for the office bunch.
We have been experiencing a great many comings and goings - 2 newbies actually left within 3 weeks of taking up the job.
Hence the theme of the party - "You Never Know Who's Around Next Christmas!" =)

Based on the Hypnerotomachia, an ancient Venetian text, it attempts to decode, in a similar way as the Da Vinci Code, such historical text and images (in the form of woodcuts). Though it wasn't as engaging as the DVC, I felt that it was interesting enough, albeit in a geeky kind of manner.
Here's a copy of the Electronic.Hypnerotomachia.Poliphilli, if you are interested.

This intriguing construction supposedly illustrates the possibilities of a 4th dimension, which many have believed to be Time, but in this case it is the turning inside-out of the original form that achieves the 4th, internal dimension.
(I do believe this page doesn't show it metamorphosizing - you have to click on the picture and it will bring you to another page where the effects can be seen.)

The team that I root for is facing a potential take-over by the ruler of Dubai.
I hope that doesn't mean that I will see weird Middle-Eastern players getting into the club and dampening my viewing pleasure.

Dubai International Capital (DIC) are one of half a dozen private equity firms buying up investments around the world on behalf of Dubai Holdings, which is owned by Sheikh Maktoum, who is also vice-president of the United Arab Emirates.

DIC recently bought Madame Tussauds for £750million and the Travelodge hotel chain.

The new stadium and injection of cash would see Liverpool able to compete with Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal, who this season moved to the new 60,000-capacity Emirates stadium - Anfield's capacity is only 44,000.

Liverpool would now have the finances to move to a new 60,000-capacity stadium in Stanley Park.
