Europe geographically stereotyped
We tend to see the world in different ways, depending on what part of the world we live in. If you’ve never been to California, you probably associate it with Hollywood and surfers. If you’ve never been to the midwest, you think corn and potatoes. Of course, these regions have much more going for them and are a far more varied. Still, the stereotypes are amusing. I couldn’t help but chuckle when a

One Million Screenshots, by Urlbox, is a collection of 1,048,576 homepage screenshots in a browsable grid layout. Search for a website or browse to random ones. Sites are chosen based on rank in the Common Craw web graph, and new screenshots are taken on the first of each month. More popular sites are closer the middle of the grid, and they seem to be loosely organized by dominant color. There’s s
The Daily Mail Stole My Visualization, Twice
Last month, I published an interactive visualization that simulates how and when you will die. It reached millions of people worldwide, and I basically had one eye glued to the real-time traffic dashboard for a week. It was kind of nuts. A few days in, I woke up and checked the stats. The Daily Mail was in the referral list. I clicked through to the article and my interactive was fully embedded on
Counting the Hours
Time is limited, as we’ve seen. How do you spend your days? Since 2003, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has sponsored the American Time Use Survey asking thousands of people this question. The Census Bureau conducts the survey. More specifically, participants recount their time spent from 4 a.m. the previous day to 4 a.m. the survey day. The data is processed and weighted so that days and demograph
It’s All Greek (or Chinese or Spanish or…) to Me
In English, there’s an idiom that notes confusion: “It’s all Greek to me.” Other languages have similar sayings, but they don’t use Greek as their point of confusion, and of course — there’s a Wikipedia page for that. Mark Liberman graphed the relationships several years ago, but the table on Wikipedia references more languages now. So I messed around with it a bit. “Chinese” is the leading point
Interactive: How Americans Get to Work
The way that people get around can say a lot about how a place is made up. In the city I grew up, most people drive to where they need to go in under 15 minutes. Medium population, most work in town, and eating out meant somewhere local. Then I went to college in Berkeley, and it was more common to ride the bus or the BART — and I’m sure being surrounded by poor college students who didn’t own car
Where people don’t use Facebook
Remember the Facebook connections map from a while back? It showed digital friendships around the world by connecting locations with arcs. Visual arts graduate student Ian Wojtowicz mashed that with NASA’s well-known map showing Earth at night, and the above is what you get. The black areas represent Facebook coverage, and the yellow areas are where there are people not using Facebook. It’s like t
