The Steepest Roads in the US of A

Now, I don’t live in the US, but I love me a goof infographic, and yes, this is one I like. I totally want to get a bike and ride down Waipio Rd. I have a feeling it would be really fun, but potentially one of the last things I’d ever do D:

The True Size of Africa

via static02.mediaite.com

Here’s another interesting geography-related infographic. Taking a look at the land area of Africa compared to several countries, showing how our distorted mapping system can help to skew our perception of the size of land masses.

I should also note that I’m updating my blogs every day - it just might not be the SAME blog daily.

What if the largest countries had the biggest population?

I find this map to be wholly interesting - so many of the countries that we know to be totally puny end up having populations that you’d never expect to be so MASSIVE. Try and find where you live and see how much land mass you should have to support everyone!

This is one of the most amusing sets of maps I’ve ever seen :) Europe, seen from a variety of perspectives!

It’s funny, ‘cause it’s mostly true :)

Infographics: A New Calling?

YO! For all y’all who haven’t been paying attention, this week has been a CRAZY one for me! After getting my DMX chart put together, I submitted it over to I Love Charts over at Tumblr, expecting to pull off some hits for my clever (yet horribly, horribly dated) wit. And get hits is what I did - over the course of a couple of days, it landed about 36 notes, which are people either reblogging or “liking” my content. Sweet! But that wasn’t the real surprise.

Tuesday morning, I got an email from my friend Clare labelled “OMG your GRAPH!” Now, here I was thinking that she’d seen it and was just appalled at the material I was putting together - but then I thought, “Wait a minute - this is Clare - she wouldn’t give a crap”. When I opened the email, I went bug-eyed. My pie chart had made it onto The Huffington Post (http://www.thuehuffingtonpost.com). Say what?! Yes - apparently my chart had made enough of an impact on someone for them to go and post it in the humour section of one of the most-viewed and commented-upon newspapers on the Internet! My joke of a chart had somehow built up some notoriety of its own! Sweet!

So let’s see what a little more exposure did for the stats:

4800 views
240 diggs
110 shares on Facebook
75 comments

So you KNOW what this means, right? Case P.’s gotta make some more charts!

Aiming to get an Olympic-related one out sometime this week :DOtherwise, just learning more about Wordpress, sketching like a madman and working on ideas for my clients.

Keep it cool, everyone! —case p.
