Info Graphic In The Making

Yesterday during the wee hours of the morning I started working on an info graphic about the structure of a web page. I was broadcasting my illustration process live via ustream.tv . A few people joined to watch and gave me their thoughts on the spot. Quite an interesting experiment! I have to say that I’m fascinated with screen casting and instantaneous-ness (is that of word?) of the internet.

Click more to watch the video (30 mins) and see a few screen shots of the progression of the design.

How To Use Chopsticks

The illustrative instructions on my chopsticks made me laugh the other day. Since there are no words I felt the need to add my take on what they illustrations were telling me to do. This is just a joke. I repeat, this is just a joke. If you incur any harm from using chopsticks with my humorous instructions, i am not legally responsible.

Enjoy


1. Grab a chopstick

2. Grab another chopstick while you are at it since you will need two

3. Attempt to pick up un-identified food nugget/object*

*Note – you should probably not eat un-identified food nuggets and/or objects. Perhaps it might be better to go for a wonton, or a crab ragoon.

Bananas And Coffee Update!

I finally got around to processing my August 2008 banana and coffee data. This time I decided to play with fusion charts – a flash & xml based chart thing-a-ma-bob. Pretty sweet and easy to edit. Little flash widgets like this are awesome because you can just edit the xml file without even touching the flash (swf) file. This means no republishing! Also – I could see this being used with a CMS to dynamically change the values in the xml file.

Go check out the august update at http://bananasandcoffee.com

Question For My Readers:

Do you guys have any suggestions on ways to display data on the web? IF you do please leave a comment and let me know! Thanks!
