Fun Friday

Canstruction is about two major things: construction and charity. It’s a design/build competition where engineers, architects and others come together to construct structures made entirely from cans of food. That’s right, all of the images you see below are creations made from cans of food– full cans of food. Now here’s where the charity portion comes into play – after the competition is over, all of the cans of food that were used to build the structures are then donated to aid in the fight against hunger. Cool, huh? These competitions are held all across the United States and in some locations in Canada — so see if your city participates, check this link. Below you’ll find some of the structures I came across while browsing their site that caught my eye. I think you’ll agree that they are all pretty impressive!

This week’s collection of iOS apps is all about castle defense games. The first has a World War I feel as you battle your enemies across a series of dug in trenches. The second lets you play as a character from the popular Evil Dead franchise as you fight off skeletons and other ghoulish enemies. The third is a new game where you’ll choose from three different races to fight your enemies in a humorous quest to create the ultimate barbeque sauce.

Look, we understand that being accused of pedophilia is horrible but, if you’re not keen on spending time in the pokey, it’s probably not best to exact your revenge by hacking and framing your accusers for making terrorist threats or downloading child pornography. That was the unfortunate route chosen by Minnesotan Barry Ardolf, whose neighbors Matt and Bethany Kostolnik went to the police after he allegedly kissed their four-year-old son on the lips. Ardolf broke into the couple’s Wi-Fi and e-mail accounts, and used them to post porn on MySpace, send threats to Joe Biden, and explicit come-ons to Matt’s coworkers. Now the 46-year-old cyberbully is facing 18 years in prison, a tough sentence for a first time offender sure, but an investigation revealed the Kostolniks were not his first victims. In addition to his lengthy stay in jail Ardolf will also have to register as a sex offender — an irony we’re sure isn’t lost on him.
