I tried to put the first video clip from Europe on YouTube at an internet cafe yesterday. It was a 33-megabyte clip, and after my hour had expired, only 20 megs got uploaded.
I did some disappointing math: at the rate of about 20 megs an hour, my 20 GIGS of footage will take around a thousand hours to upload. At the rate of about a dollar an hour that I pay for internet access, and using the internet for a maximum of an hour a day, I would eventually get all the footage uploaded in around three years, at the cost of a thousand dollars. Um, no thanks.
Then Luana reminded me that Sean also has the raw footage, plus unlimited high-speed internet access. Problem solved.
Also, if anyone is interested in calling, Luana´s cell phone number is 11-8646-3203. The country code for Brazil is 55. Cheap phone cards can be bought online at www.nobelcom.com.
We´re going to Prado beach over the weekend, where I´ll be finishing the Pinker books (The Blank Slate and The Language Instinct) and preparing the big forthcoming review, in addition to finally eating Moqueca.
