Visualizations and Infographics to Understand the Financial Crisis

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009

emilia8004fb0i18j86ww080o0ock04w848td8r2s3w1cs4kksc4okksgg8thI’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. If there’s anything good that has come out of the financial crisis it’s the slew of high-quality graphics to help us understand what’s going on. Some visualizations attempt to explain it all while others focus on affected business. Others concentrate on how we, as citizens are affected. Some show those who are responsible. After you examine these 27 visualizations and infographics, no doubt you’ll have a pretty good idea about what’s going on.

See them at Flowing Data.

By creating a donors strike organized from his site Change Congress.

Change congress is calling a donor strike!

Special interests pump millions of dollars into elections, giving them more influence over our political system than the rest of us. Can you be part of the solution?

He’s using a lot of social web platforms to push this thing, check out this list…  TWITTER, FLICKR, MYSPACE, BLIP, YOUTUBE, FACEBOOK APP and FACEBOOK.
Pretty cool initiative, hope he manages to bring some real change. I wish him the best of luck.

augmented reality, the toys take on it

Monday, March 16th, 2009

Kid = Never ending Demand For NEW Toys! This equation holds true in all homes, however designer Frantz Lasorne has an excellent project for us that gives a second lease of life to the existing toy collection. Called Augmented Reality, the project combines the joys of virtual reality, imagination and tangible toys.  Using Augmented Reality Tangible User Interface (AR TUI) via head-mounted glasses, loads of imagination and old toys, a new environment is created that allows a child to live his fantasies.

Just stumbled on these computer cables by LaCie. At the very least they’d make my cable mess a lot prettier. These kind of cables tend to be extremely boring.

Using a semicolon is like barbecuing:

Monday, March 9th, 2009

I’m never quite sure I’m doing it correctly.

Copied straight from Blank is Like Blank. Which seems not to be updated anymore, sadly. But I came to think of this one when I used a semi-colon in the last post.

Sony headphones

Pretty much sums it up I guess.

Guess how many designs apple does? It’s two; one regular ear bud and one in-ear monitor (haven’t checked my facts, but I’m pretty sure of this).
