Infographics

[This American Infographic based on episodes of This American Life]

Tiarnan pointed me to these infographics and I am totally into the idea of visual representations of data. It always struck me as strange when we were in school how people didn't like graphing in math class - to me a parabola is more or less the same except the data is a bit more abstract... I think I might have to try and make some of these. I also saw something similar at the Tim Burton exhibit at MoMA - a Corpse Bride size comparison chart of all the characters... which I loved.

Academic Ambitions

Would like to perform a pole dance routine wearing nothing but my scholar's gown - to an audience of academics.

Ordinary Lives and Extraordinary Verse

Sometimes I search for things on Google and end up getting very unexpected results. It would be like plunging my hand into a sandbank looking for a pebble and coming up with a pretty bit of polished glass. I know I could make the analogy more fancy - and say that it's like finding a bit of gold - but this one thing I found is definitely beach glass. It has that kind of feel to it.

It's from a blog called The Conceptual Oyster. Enjoy.
