Wow

A Day in the Internet
Created by Online Education

I think that daily email estimate is low, if you factor in spam and mindless forwards - sometimes it seems I get that many spam emails in a month or so, despite filters!

This video belongs here, even though it's a lil' dated - eighty-something-year-old former Alaska Senator Ted Stevens attempted to describe the Internet as "not a big truck, but a series of tubes" while debating net neutrality, and of course someone had to poke fun :)

It's time for the year- and DECADE-end retrospectives!

I don't like this time of year much, with the getting dark early and all, but I love the year-in-review pieces that start showing up about now. Plus, we get to look back on the first decade of the 21st Century, and what a decade it was!

First is the 2000's in review by Newsweek magazine. It's not embeddable for a blogger, so you'll have to click below to view. Very well done.

Newsweek's Decade in Seven Minutes

Next we have...wait for it...





I'm really not an AutoTune freak, but it does seem to have become a phenomenon these last few years as society becomes more techy and/or lazy.

The retrospectives here were put together before all the Tiger shit hit the fan - it'll be fun to see how he is portrayed in those to come. Pretty crappy timing for him, fooking up at the end of the decade and all...

Surely there'll be more on this theme later.
