What is it: I’ll just quote the page: “This World Stats Counter shows current statistical figures for world population, births, deaths, deforestation, and much more. Except for population and earth temp, all stats reflect the growth since the beginning of the selected time period. You can choose to show growth since the beginning of the year, month, day, or from the moment you click the Now button”.

You see, some nice piece of web-stuff but is it really worth a bookmark if you can find it here at any time? ;-)

Guess the Movie!

What is it: The guy who does ALP (will be coming up here when it’s updated more regularly again) has a second project up and running where anyone can draw a scene from a movie and the viewers have to guess which movie it is. It’s tons of fun,
really :-) . it’s even been featured on a Japanese TV show.

Submitting a drawing is on definitely my list of “Things To Do When I Have Time”. It’s interesting to see the talent that some people already have or gain there and it’s amazing how little you need to recognize some movies (is that a sign of quality?, I wonder).

One Sentence…

What is it: I’ll best quote the about page:

One Sentence is an experiment in brevity. Most of the best stories that we tell from our lives have one really, really good part that make the rest of the boring story worth it.

This is about that one line.

This is about telling the most interesting or poignant story possible in the least amount of words.

This is about small bite-sized pieces of extraordinary lives and ordinary lives alike… the happy, the sad, the funny, the depressing.

The few times I remembered checking the site there was always something that I found … well.. deep, in a way. Has an RSS feed btw.
