This guy David McCandless has a serieus data fetish. Some of the pictures he pulls out of the stats are nice aswell.
My favorites are the time line of scare stories:
And the wiki lame edit war is also funny:
He also had some nice background stats in google docs
Here is his TED-Talk
somehow editing the pictures so they get readable gives a instand error. I noobed it up :(
ReplyDeleteGood TED talk, beautiful data :)
ReplyDeleteNice. I like the data visualisations. The guy uses too many gay metaphors and I don't really trust his data gathering methods though.
ReplyDeleteI had a few examples of why I think he is not very critical/scientific during data gathering, but I forgot.
ReplyDeletehmm vodka vakantion
ReplyDeletethe Guardian's datablog is a little less visual but also worth a visit.
ReplyDeleteI like the colours he's using in his visualisation.
