PopTub Goes Big Time

Google is trying out a new experiment on YouTube. They've partnered with PopTub to syndicate their channel across the web to their Adsense publisher partners.

PopTub is a channel on YouTube sponsored by Pepsi. They aim to be the 'Entertainment Tonight' version of online YouTube showbiz. They are relatively new and as of this morning had less than 4,000 subscribers. But with this deal, they are going big, big time, and expect to get over 3 billion views in the next ten weeks.

Their goal is to provide us with a daily digest of the best viral videos, YouTube stars and our favorite celebrities.

See more on this story at Reuters.

Identical Triplets

Kerry Lyons gave birth to identical triplets on Friday and here they are on The Early Show just four days later. Between the three of them they weighed about 17 pounds and they're all very healthy. The Lyons family already has two other kids, age three and two. We get exhausted just thinking about their new daily routine. See the whole family on the video below. The woman in the white lab coat is their doctor who delivered the babies via ceasarian. She says there was no fertility treatment involved in this pregnancy.

A Front Yard Makeover

We see green lawns in front of almost every house in the neighborhood where we live. They're usually very pretty and well maintained but apparently they are a major contributor to a filthy future.

There was a very interesting article in the New Yorker earlier this summer about our odd habit of the green lawn. (See The Turf War.) It turns out that these lawns across America take up about the space of the entire state of New York. They use up one third of all residential water use and cost about forty billion dollars a year to maintain. Our lawns are smoother and more velvety than ever. But 'our relationship to the Beautiful remains vexed.' The amount of water, chemicals and fertilizer we use for this appearance is a real safety and environmental concern.

Permanent makeup is becoming more popular. More women are deciding they want tattooed makeup as their eyeliner, eyebrow filler or lip liner.

See a good overview of the pros and cons of permanent makeup and some real before and after photos here.
