insights from the digital future
Haya el Nassar reports in USA Today:
Most Americans don’t have a clue how many people actually live in the USA or how many are expected to. Twenty-nine percent guessed the population at 200 million or less, and 19% put it at 1 billion or more. Twelve percent came within 50 million of guessing correctly.
GRAPHIC: which way is up?
(per John Brown)
OK, so it’s the weekend, but I want to see how the Yahoo! Video embed code works on a wordpress blog — and can’t think of a better way than with this killer mashup – Eminem soundtrack to Fellini’s “8 1/2.”
Not an entirely hallucinatory thought, — as fun as it was fun to mash up the idea — but on Beyonce’s upcoming single, the Jigga (or is it Shawn Carter now) jumpstarts verse one of “Deja Vu” with this line:
“I used to run base like Juan Pierre”
Since I first heard this track a week or so ago, Pierre has been on a tear (though the Cubs continue dropping ball games like Trib investors are dropping stock)…
OK, so, perhaps this is a completely ridiculous statement, but as a die-hard Cubs fan, any change is a good change as NOTHING has worked out for nearly 100 years! Why not give it up to the almighty Hova?
