Fancy Debt Clock
In: Finance Innovative Reference Updated regularly US Economy
8 Jul 2009Always depressing, this version of the debt clock includes running values of many different kinds of debt, GDP, trade deficits, unfunded liabilities, and other ways we are shooting ourselves in the foot every day. The “about” section is pretty bleak on source details (to put it mildly). Thanks to my friend Jenny Butler for the link.
Recovery Trends
6 Jul 2009The NYT has made a slide presentation of several interesting animations on the recovery. It’s basically a variation of the OECD Business Cycle Clock that I posted about in May, but with a step-through explanation attached. FlowingData points to several similar efforts as well.
History of Our Flag
5 Jul 2009One more July 4th themed infographic to end the weekend. Spotted by CoolInfographics.
Ok, enough war and money. Here are two (stunningly similar) infographics on what goes into all those fireworks. Have a nice holiday weekend everyone!
Space
2 Jul 2009Interactive timeline of space exploration. View by year or by planet.
Casualties of War
In: Culture Graphic Design (general) Innovative Interactive Maps Politics Source: NYT
2 Jul 2009The breakdown by age, race, branch, and type of duty is fascinations, and the adjustable time scale is a nice touch.
From the Neolithic till today, filter by country, zoom in to specific historic events, or take a journey based on certain topics. Very well done, from the BBC.
US Troop Deaths in Iraq
2 Jul 2009Click on “Rate per 100,000” or “Casualties by County” for the better scales.
Iraq Oil
2 Jul 2009Interactive map showing the results of recent oil and gas partnerships/negotiations/auctions. I found the map of the different oil fields interesting – considering how many maps of Iraq we’ve seen in the past 5 years, this is the first time I’ve seen this info. Will be updated over time.
Tackling Inflation
In: Finance Global Economy Source: FT Updated regularly US Economy
2 Jul 2009Interactive display of central bank interest rates. It would be useful if you could scroll in and enlarge the last couple years, obviously. It looks like they might update this regularly.
To be fair, 2009 values are analyst “estimates”. Related article.
Failed States Index 2009
2 Jul 2009Produced by Foreign Policy. Lots of good analysis in this years report.
