• A kitten dressed in lambs clothing? Hmm, we’re sure that’s not how the saying goes. Oh well, that’s the least of our worries; latest rumours to reach us are that street vendors are selling “lamb shiskabobs”….without the lamb; opting instead for kitty cat.
• Well that’s the mid-autumn festival over for another year. Unfortunately it isn’t the end of the hectic ‘holiday’ timetabling that we’re sure many of you are suffering. This mid-autumn festival, Google joined in with the ‘festivities’ by ‘pimping’ their homepage for the day. They paid homage to the lady on the moon; a lady soon to be joined by Chinese astronauts! Obviously remembering her by eating mooncake’s is far easier…and far more cost efficient. You may just want to disregard any leftover cakes though - no point in expanding China’s waistline anymore.
• We’ve been struck with a dose of i-Fever this week. Not only were we slightly puzzled by the over eagerness of some Macnerds to get their hands on an i-pad, (including one guy who queued for 19 hours….despite already owning one?!) but we also realised that Apple get off on seeing people form ‘en mass’ outside their shops; there second store in Shanghai opened yesterday - the same day as the China iPhone4 launch.

Boing Boing points us to this interesting art installation by Chinese artist Liu Jianhua who recreated the Shanghai skyline from dice and poker-chips. This was exhibited at the Galleria Continua in San Gimignano, Italy. A close-up shot follows after the jump. [Photos by Cinghialino] more ›
