Olympic Dashboard
In: Culture Interactive Maps
17 Feb 2010Highly stylized. Too many of the controls seem to be conveying the same information. (via)
There’s also a map version:
Job Losses
17 Feb 2010A slightly politicized look. (via FlowingData)
Medicine vs Terrorists
16 Feb 2010A little outside Chartporn’s normal bailiwick, but I like to make note of effective graphic design when I find it.
Gender Advantage
16 Feb 2010Women lost their jobs less than men during the recession, and women outnumber men in the workplace for the first time. Related article.

15 Feb 2010Interactive twitter tracker on NBC. (via)
Boilerplate

15 Feb 2010Of particular interest is the table at the bottom indicating organic price premiums.

In: Culture
15 Feb 2010Interactive guide to 101 muppets from Sesame Street – but it seems to have left out most of my Henson favorites from the Muppet Show. (via)

In: Science
15 Feb 2010The scale of the ocean. I couldn’t find the original image, but Reddit has a long discussion on the graphic’s accuracy (as usual).
Time Travel in TV and Movies
In: Culture Innovative
15 Feb 2010The content is a bit pointless, but the post on Information is Beautiful goes into interesting detail on the processes and choices that go into making one of these data dense designs.
Olympics: it begins
In: Culture
12 Feb 2010I am sure there is about to be a flood of Olympic related infographics. Here are a few to get you started:
Schedule (NBC): 
NYT Olympics Schedule tracker (adjusts to your local time): 
Curling: 
Bobsledding: 
NYT Interactive Venues: 
Slideshow of all winter olympic posters: 
And NBC has a very well designed free IPhone App for the Olympics, with schedules, streaming video, etc. (search for “NBC Olympics” in the Iphone App store).
UK Quantitative Easing

Snowpocalypse 2010
11 Feb 2010If you live in the Mid-Atlantic this makes a lot of sense to you right now. Thanks to Allison and Bernard for passing it on.
