The Seven Chakras
25 Jul 2011I withhold the snarky pen and simply share this for those who might be interested. (Thanks to Katie Desmond for the link!)
Ok, can’t resist. Below are the seven chakras of R. Crumb:

Honest Names for Yoga Poses
25 May 2011Too funny not to post. As a bonus, on the right, a comparison of nine poses to getting fall-down drunk.
Sorry about the sidestep into diagram and photo humor – I’ll post some boring econ charts soon to balance it all out for you.
Super Bowl XLV
In: Sports
9 Feb 2011This chart of the Green Bay Packer’s season, including play by play analysis of the entire playoffs, is a testament to how well evolved sports statistics are. The designers, Chartball, also do amazing things with baseball statistics.
Formula 1

30 Nov 2010Stunningly beautiful graphics on Formula 1 tracks and races, by Luis Chumpitaz. He even managed to make bilingual diagrams looks good. (Thanks to William Navarro for the link.)

12 Jul 2010The WSJ has a compilation of some of the most flagrant acting performances from the world cup. I hope FIFA does something to correct the reffing/flopping issue – it’s embarrassing to watch such amazing athletes act like children.
World Cup Goals: When, Where, Who
28 Jun 2010I’m getting a little tired of World Cup visualizations (especially since the US lost on Saturday), but the WSJ’s views of individual goals is interesting. You can view them by date, country, field position, stadium, club team, game time, or player.
Weird World Cup Stats
In: Interactive Sports
26 Jun 2010This is a combination of great and shitty. Some of the stats look accurate and are very interesting (202 yellow cards, 11 penalty kicks), some look like bad estimates (calories eaten?!?), and it’s intermixed with way too many oil company ads.
