What goes around comes around

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

Really nice work. Even if I’m not too sure about the comes around, goes around line, it’s clever use of media.

Clever media usage for the neglected childrens one as well, with a really good concept (made by JWT).

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.

That was unexpected

Sunday, January 25th, 2009

But what a way to start out. I’m impressed. USA 2.0? (Ok, that might be a tad worn, but still…)

The new president effectively reversed a post-9/11 Bush administration policy making it easier for government agencies to deny requests for records under the Freedom of Information Act, and effectively repealed a Bush executive order that allowed former presidents or their heirs to claim executive privilege in an effort to keep records secret.

To me this seems like a really strong message that something is actually changing. A real effort for transparency and honesty. More of a grown up way to rule a country.

It will be very interesting to see what happens with this.
