If you’ve never been to Information is Beautiful before, it ranks with FlipFlopFlyball for one of the great infographic posting blogs out there.  Here’s a great time travel timeline, which incorporates tons of time paradoxes.  The guy wants help with a Dr. Who graphic, I suggest you help out.

Amazing infographic on mythological venn diagram kinda graphic thingy.  Link.

Thanks to Systemic Amy for sending this one my way. A site full of infographics created based on episodes of This American Life. As the creator describes:

My new years resolution is to make an infographic on every This American Life ever made. The idea is to expand and add context to the stories and information contained in the shows. Basically, anything I am curious about while listening to the pieces.

It seems to be a growing trend of public acceptance for infographics (information is beautiful, flip flop flyball, etc). As well there should be. As well there should be. LINK.

As if a comic and another post on infographics weren’t enough for this week, here’s another great infographics link. This is a site collecting visual graphics that interpret information about The Beatles. Breakdown of who wrote songs, song keys used, references to other Beatles songs, etc. Pretty epic stuff.  LINK.

Here at Rosscott, Inc. we’ve had a real boner for infographics lately. Let today be no exception. Graphic designer (and fellow infographic lover) Stephen “Stivo” Taubman has created an infographic that depicts all the statistical and visual detail necessary to recreate the famous scene in the smash hit Mega Shark Vs. Giant Octopus where the mega shark jumps out of the water and eats the plane near the Golden Gate Bridge. When I saw this, I thought of my friends in tropical Madison, WI at Tank Riot, who I know love them some Mega Shark action.  LINK.

In case Monday’s comic on curling whet your tastebuds for curling (check out the comments), here’s a great infographic from GOOD about how curling works. I’m not seeing any “curl”. LINK.

I’m just gonna quote the post:

Last fall a group of CCA architecture students, led by Landscape Architect David Fletcher and Rebar art and design studio shared a meal together at a local taco truck for a class assignment.  Our research seminar explored San Francisco’s food and wastesheds. Our premise was that a seemingly simple, familiar food like the taco truck taco could provide visceral insight into the connections between the systems we were exploring.

Turns out it was pretty tough. Big twist, right? Anyway, there was a talk that we already missed, but the chart is still sweet, even at the small size it’s shown. If anyone finds more about the talk let me know. LINK.
