Running the Numbers looks at contemporary American culture through the austere lens of statistics. Each image portrays a specific quantity of something: fifteen million sheets of office paper (five minutes of paper use); 106,000 aluminum cans (thirty seconds of can consumption) and so on.

A very humorous imaginary novel publishging video. It shows someone writing and getting agent and editor easily and dancing around. This is a farce (it's meant to be). The publishing process is much harder in reality.
I can relate to this list about writer's block. I had a mild case of "writer's block" near the end of fall semester 2008 - I was working full time and had three writing intensive courses. I'm sure my fellow students have suffered in similar ways
