POPVIDEO

Remind popvideo?
It was the first sign that a barrage of digital information was coming! Aie Aie!

I learned today that the leading cause of mortality and morbidity for women worldwide ages 15-44 is HIV. That is just unbelievable. I've never been big on AIDS advocacy like some people are, but this figure is frightening for the sheer fact that HIV/AIDS is 100% preventable!!

I mean, come on!

Next on today's agenda:

We will talk about the quantity of sparkling water I consume. The graphs show a daily consumption of approximately 3 liters per day. There is no measurement of the amount of sparkling water I emit. Tragedy strikes statistics once again.

#2. The eco-footprint of a house cat is close to that of a Volkswagen Golf.
#3. The eco-footprint of a dog is drastically larger than that of a Toyota LandCruiser.

Winner: Cat. Overall Winner: Hamster!

But when multiplied by the coefficient of food chain. The cat wins again!

#4. If you go out in town before 11am, you will be the only non-child under 50. But, do not fret, because when multiplied by the coefficient of food chain, you win (as long as you still have yer teeth).

happy 11/12/09. Soon it will be a new decade? Did you realize?


PS: There is a new word of franglais. Can you guess what it means? ITEM.

I don't remember popvideo. Was that some kind of realplayer? I was sad to not see any of yer graphs. If you change the age from 15-50 the statistics change according to Time.

I'll be touchlanding soon! Mebbe you should give me your phone number sos I can call you with an expensive phone card once I gets myself to the l'poule train station on Saturday.

popvideo was a show on VH1 that showed music videos and at the same time had pop-up icons that would tell trivia and or small tidbits and factoids about the video playing and the artist as well. It can be quite fascinating. I will try to find you some clips.

In the meantime, I just played with my webcam. Shameless...sometimes but eh I'm doing it for free.

MANGEONS!
