Where's Waldo on Google Earth? Genius!

Mixing art with technology is exactly what Media Arts student Melanie Coles did for her graduating project. . . and it is bigger (literally) and better than most grad art assignments I've encountered (yes she deserves an A!). Melanie's project, entitled Where On Earth Is Waldo creates a Google Earth Where's Waldo inspired game. With the help of volunteers, Melanie and her team were able to create a gigantic Waldo painting to be placed on rooftops throughout Vancouver, Canada. The best part? Waldo will only be seen via Google Earth, so the entire world can play "Where's Waldo: Google Earth Edition" as well!

The project will be exhibited at the Emily Carr Graduation Exhibit 08 opening May 3, 2008.

Where's Waldo Gets Turned Into a Video Game!

It's been awhile since I've been this overjoyed about a new video game, but it's not everyday you find out that one of your favorite childhood books is going to be turned into a video game! Growing up, my sisters and I had the entire Where's Waldo series of books as we'd flip each page trying to find Waldo - wearing his signature black-rimmed geeky glasses, red and white striped shirt, blue pants and matching hat - hiding within colorful illustrations that kept us just as amused as Waldo himself.

Not much info on this game release, but it is said to be like an animated version of the books and will be released on both the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS (woot!).

Update: The game is now available! You can get from here for $28.
