    You're welcome.

    I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's really unlike anything I've ever seen in terms of data presentation.

    Wow! I thought I would just check out the beginning of it to see how they did it, but I watched the entire thing. My undergrad was in Third World Economic Developement (thanks Fairhaven!) and I just love this stuff. Talk about "useful statistics"! He makes them come alive and question how we see the world!!! It's good for me to see such a great use of tech tools, too. I get overwhelmed with technology, but it really can be wonderful. From blogs to video pod costs. Pretty important stuff!

    Very thought-provoking. Great information design as well. This is timely for me, as it relates to a book I am writing.

    Thanks Cere!
