Piracy Watch
12 Nov 2009As a demo for their “visual fusion” software, idvsolutions has produced an interactive map and timeline of global ocean piracy. Not bad, though bing maps seems to be having trouble integrating with it a little.
Finance Timeline
11 Nov 2009From the FT: Major changes and crises in the history of finance since 1914.
Good Design

Motorcycle Fatalities
9 Nov 2009Stylized statistics (perhaps overly so). (via)
Asian Pentagon/Spoke
9 Nov 2009I like the idea of using spokes for different series, though it could be confusing. I have no idea why they included the same data as pie charts, unless just as an example of how much clearer bar-charts are. (via)
That Time of Month
In: Science
9 Nov 2009From an odd little website called “I Heart Guts” which appears to focus on our innards, comes this colorful infographic of the menstrual cycle.

Unemployment
8 Nov 2009A nice dashboard digging deep into unemployment stats. Updated monthly.
Dogs are Bad for the Environment
8 Nov 2009An odd graphic looking at the green footprint of pets; based on a New Scientist article.
Deadly Drugs
8 Nov 2009A comparison of mortality rates of various legal and illegal drugs.
Hurricane Tracker
8 Nov 2009Another historical look at hurricanes. This one has a number of very interesting filters and sliders. I wish someone would do something like this for recessions (not on a map, obviously). (via Vizworld)
