This article from the Economist shows three of the better charts ever made, all made in the 1800’s. The one above was partly made by Florence Nightingale.

That was my reaction to this series of videos from the Canadian government.

The general idea is that accidents can be prevented, and since everyone in Canada pays for the injuries you get in your accident, it makes sense for the government to promote better safety.  Some of the videos are pretty horrific, others hilarious.

I’m clearly addicted to the internets, which is fine because the internets are free.  However baed on my experience today in Utah, I might be getting addicted to skiing, which is the least free activity one could possibly engage in.

Immediately.  The talent is there, even though Eli is clearly not a leader of men.  If the head coach actually led the team maybe they could beat the Redskins.  Maybe we should throw to Plax in the endzone a little less, and throw 10-12 yard passes a little more.  Strategy is only a small part of how enfuriatingly rudderless this team is.  The sooner Tom Coughlin is not the coach the better, I wish he would quit and go coach Arkansas.

Or continue… fine. Anyway with the election season in full swing its probably about time I got some political content in here. This is a great parody video about the Huckabee campaign. via kos

The images are from a project by AVPD called doublexposure, which uses light modules to mirror/mimic the natural light coming through the windows. They have some great work on their website, I’ve included a little more about them below. via vvork
