In HTML authoring, there are very good reasons to include an alt attribute into every img element. The purpose is to specify a textual replacement for the image, to be displayed or otherwise used in place of the image. Thus, the prime rule is: Consider what the page looks like or sounds like when images are not shown. Then, write for each image an alt text that best works as a replacement.

Do you think if trash cans were see-thru, then we would be a bit more aware of we “throw away?” (even though there is no “away” really)?

It’s been four years that no Toog album has been released. The reason is simple: Toog has caused many bankrupties in the past and is knowned for the huge amount of money he’s asking for his so-called “recording costs” as everybody knows that his music is recorded on a bad telephone. He’s also responsible of 23 suicides in the music industry caused by his dull sales.

…

So it’s a little miracle to know that the german label Karaoke Kalk will release in febuary or march 2009 a new Toog album called Goto, which is an anagram of Gilles. There’s also a strange movie called Goto that will be released together with the album but we don’t know yet if it will be a separate object. One song of this Goto album called “L’esprit de l’inventeur” will be released on Kalk Seeds 2, a Karaoke Kalk compilation available in september 2008.

The ‘water footprint’ of a country is defined as the volume of water needed for the production of goods and services consumed by the inhabitants of the country. The water footprint of a country can be calculated with either the top-down approach or bottom-up approach. In the top-down approach, one calculates the water footprint as the sum of water use in the country plus gross virtual water import into the country minus gross virtual water export. In the bottom-up approach, we aggregate the individual water footprints of the inhabitatants of a country to get the total water footprint of a country. Individual water footprints are calculated by multiplying all consumed goods and services with their respective virtual water content.
