POPSMeanwhile: My life as a dog Always had a dog as a kid. I'm longing for one now. Can't do it. Well, I guess I could get a little foofoo dog and it would do ok, but I don't want a little foofoo dog. I think by spring's end I'm going to get a bit larger than midsize good ol' short haired mutt.

When I first heard about the page, I knew he would get his million -- it was just one of those ideas that works phenomenonally on the internet and no where else. So I began taking screen shots (every day or so) with the vague intention of creating some kind of time-lapse animation of the page in the future.

Actually, I just really like time-lapse animation and figured this would be a good experiment in timelapsedigitalography. So here are some technical issues regarding the GIF and this experiment: * I didn't take shots every day -- someti

POPSDvinsk Clan - Home of the amazing Russian Parkour kid I tracked down the source of the video. Still unable to get the name of the guy. I have the sense that he, and his crew, want anonymity--at least as near as I can tell from the Russian page. Here is another great vid. This one apparently of a Latvian Crew.. http://dvinsk.no.lv/video/LeParkour_Latvia_Daugavpils_2005.wmv
