jim bob aint bloggin for the money. not that he don't need money. he need money. and he need love. anyway, jim bob made 6 cents so far from adsense. thanks for clickin.


i miss bob ross, but this guy is pretty good

my sis had a million-dollar scheme to corner the market on bob ross paintings. but that's a different story. the bob ross aint with this world no more, but there's a guy who does digital art in a similar format. he does these internet shows, see. he uses a website called revision3, which is made by the founders of digg.

so if you miss bob ross, you can watch this pixelperfect show i was talkin about.

lonelygirl15 about 1300 times better than 24?

jim bob finally watched the lonelygirl15 series on youtube. pretty good, i thought. pretty entertaining. so then i started lookin at the numbers. these lonelygirl15 guys, the guys that made the show, they made about 90 videos. each one of em got about 500,000 total views. and that's just on youtube. so let's call the total views lg15 got per episode 500,000+x. ok.

now, jimbob's favorite show is 24, and for the week of feb 26, 24 got 12.8 million viewers. well. but that's 12.8 million people watchin for 60 minutes, whereas lg15 only about 2 min per video. so. that means if we want to compare we got to gross up the 24 viewership by 30. so,

now, jim bob wants to know how good lg15 did compared to 24:

lg15 total viewer-minutes as % of 24's = (500,000 + x) / (12,800,000 * 30)

but what is x? well, since jim bob don't know how to figure it out, it's 0.

so, lg15 total viewer-minutes as % of 24's = .13%.

but wait. kiefer sutherland made $13 million for 24 episodes of 24 according to aol.television.com. that's about $540,000 per episode. let's just go ahead and put the cost to make 1 episode of 24 at about $1 million.

now, how much did it cost to make 1 episode of lg 15? let's see, you need a no-name actress (free), a webcam ($100), and a script (free).

that means that 24 cost 1,000,000/100 times more than lg15 per episode. shoot. that's 10,000 times more.

ummmm.

so, which would you rather spend money on creatin, lg15 or 24?

with lg15, you get .13x the viewers but you spent 10,000x less. that means

viewers per dollar for lg15 are 1300 times higher than for 24. wait. yeah. that's right.

got to sell ads though to turn them viewers into dollars. too bad lg15 don't know how to sell ads. but goog does. maybe that's why goog bought youtube.
