Love Clarity
Charts and graphs and diagrams are not just for boring old worklife. Check out this series of valentines day inspired charts: Why you should continue to date me; a series of charts and graphs. by Joel A. Friesen.
Forever blowing bubbles
I had occasion to build some bubble charts the other day, which made me realise what an under-used resource they are. I almost never see them used! So here's a post to show how useful they can be. Here is just one use, of course.
The data I had was seven 'models' that were built across two states.
Sharing: Internet data
I have been looking at Internet usage by country and in the spirit of sharing, here is what I found. Based on number of Internet users in 2005 (the last year of 'actual' in the data that I had), East Asia and Europe are the biggest two regions, while the US is the biggest single country.
Sharing
I was doing some research today into Google. One thing that frustrates me is the thought that people have already worked out answers to a problem but, because they do not share their findings, another person has to duplicate time and effort in recreating the work.
