This blog combines awesome photography, factoids, cool GIF's, links and much more.

As well as a healthy dose of user-related humor and stories about compiling the vast amount of material to be found here.

Bob never disappoints when it comes to posting great material and responding to his growing number of fans. Highly recommended.

good day
please consider to convey that message or a similar to your friends....

World Aids Day, December 1
Today in your spare time, remember all of those lives lost to HIV and AIDS. You can make a difference in the global fight against HIV and AIDS. World AIDS Day isn't just about one day. With infection rates continuing to rise globally there is a great deal still to do, so get involved.

HIV is one of the biggest social, economic and health challenges in the world. It is a global emergency claiming over 8,000 lives every day. In fact 5 people die of AIDS every minute.

Young people (under 25 years old) account for half of all new HIV infections worldwide - around 6,000 become infected with HIV every day.

During 2007 more than two and a half million adults and children became infected with HIV. By the end of the year, an estimated 33 million people worldwide were living with HIV/AIDS. The year also saw two million deaths from AIDS, despite recent improvements in access to antiretroviral treatment.

Despite best efforts from governments, non-profit organizations and healthcare practitioners around the world, HIV and AIDS is still having huge global impact.

More than 25 million people have died of AIDS since 1981.

Clear, easy to follow, exciting...a valuable teaching tool and fun just to browse by one's own self. I am really impressed with this and would like to blog on it myself.

(I don't blogroll. If I love a site, I write an entry on it with links and my reasoning. Perhaps I should rethink that, but I feel that a blog that has been so carefully created deserves a full review.)

I've just read most of your blog and I have to say...aside from what I find to be wonderful humor, I have forgotten to say on my blog comments that I really like your blog just for all the cool info. you have. Its fantastic that someone such as yourself has this much passion for something and are able to articulate it to others who are perhaps less learned and make it interesting. good job!
