Via the Ottawa Citizen: Shifting boundaries. There was an interesting letter in the Citizen this morning.  It made me wonder if this “sacred ideology of growth” which Madeline Weld writes about could be successfully shifted to focus on (or include) plants and animals.

Shared via here. Shared by jg This is truly a great visualization. Justin Perricone sez, "This is a poster I designed using all of the ingredients in a Ham & Cheese Hot Pocket. First in a series." Hot Pockets Ingredients (Thanks, Justin!)

WOW! This has to be the best visualization tool for the world’s agricultural data which I’ve found to date. Gapminder has done an incredible job here exposing some of the UN’s data and made it very easy to ‘fool around’ with.

A lazy afternoon in the city so Si and I decided to melt some glass and try making some ornaments to gift away at Christmas. Damn things were harder than they looked but the tiny dudes turned out ok in the end. A snowman’s head melting in the torch.   Here’s the final product… I [...]

Wow. Here it is. Pages upon pages of high quality infographics for all of you voyeuristic Canadians! Poking our nose over the border to watch all those Yankees is somewhat of a national sport… Watching their newsfeeds, reading their magazines and following their gossip. I’m still not quite sure if it’s an attempt to figure [...]
