Fun With Stats

Thursday, June 29th, 2006

Wow. Who knew world stats could be such fun?

Be sure to change what stats are displayed on each axis by clicking on the drop downs on each axis. Click countries on the right to track them individually.

Do life expectancy on the Y-axis and population on the X-axis and choose Rwanda on the the right to see how a genocide can screw a country’s statistics up.

Do “Number of girls compared to boys in school” on the Y-axis and “Women as a percent of labor force” on the X-axis and choose a bunch of Middle Eastern countries. Iraq went backward while neighbors made progress over their respective data sets.

Last one: Do “Contraceptive Use” on the Y-axis and “Girls In School” or “Population” on the X-axis and choose Saudi Arabia on the right. Granted, there is only 4 years of data on the graph but what’s up with that plummet?

Come Again?

Scene: My daughter is eating her berries across the table from me. She starts saying something but there’s definitely some gibberish noises thrown in there.

Me: “I don’t know what you just said.”

Her: “I don’t know either.”

Because You Need It

Wednesday, June 21st, 2006

Innanet, I put these clips together for you because you need it:

The Outfield - Say It Isn’t So

The Outfield - Your Love

The Outfield - No Surrender

The Outfield - All The Love In The World

“You got Moulin Rouge on my Outfield.” “No, you got The Outfield on my Moulin Rouge.”

I’m not sure what’s going on with that last one.

Shave My Yeti is a good way to spend a minute or two. Polartec is cool.

I’m A Dork So You Don’t Have To Be

Tuesday, June 6th, 2006

Google Spreadsheets is nice. All the features you probably use in a spreadsheet. They’re getting good at all this AJAX do-hickery.

Is this the year of Google or what? It’s just a matter of time before they integrate their Writely purchase with this and have a whole online office suite. For someone who deals with a lot of software licensing, this is starting to get interesting.

A Five-Year-Old’s Plan

Monday, June 5th, 2006

So, being that all toys are made in China, do kids in China have insane amounts of toys?

It seems to me that Chinese factory workers, breathing and molding toxic plastic all day, would be entitled to bring a few home. You know, “Hey, look what we’re running through the line this week.” I imagine that certain people in China have insane collections of American McDonald’s Happy Meal toys and such.

Yes, But…
