Continuing the series, here is parts 6 and 7 from VBS.tv's series TOXIC-Garbage Island. Contains some vulgar language. If you can get past the annoying attitude of the host, there are some lessons here! I extremely disagree with his statement about it being so boring out on the open sea. I'm sorry you don't get fucking cell phone reception or cable TV out there brah.

I'm more of a reader than a video-watcher, so these videos are a bit frustrating, but I'm still interested to see what they find.
This time around I dug up this link out of google:

It has a better map than that guy's hand...

Thanks Dave, I've seen that article, but its been a long time. That first picture is very striking.
I generally agree with you about reading, but the upcoming "youtube" generation is all about visuals and interactive experiences. Makes me wonder where the future of content is heading.
