Ok i simply love this one I did for Smarter.org  I actually started it over a year ago and just came back around to finish it up recently.  It’s rare i get the chance to be humorous with this stuff.. so here is my take on the classic non-comparison.
Please please please support my work by [...]

My apologies for the flagrant pun abuse in the title.  I was debating whether or not to use it, but I figure sometimes you have to go pun or go puny.  Geez, that was aweful as well.  Anyways here is the infograhpic, detailing what those digits on your VIN mean.

retweet and digg (the mint.com post) it to [...]

This one is cool.  It takes a look at underground malware and trojan market, exposing prices, scams, and financial motivations.  I worked with some cool people on this one in some sensitive security areas.
It’s pretty large so will have to click through to see/read the whole thing.

So this one is a bit different then what I usually do.  This infographic dispenses with any real data and hopefully will make the viewer think/smile/laugh.
Humorous content is always risky because it could easily fail if its done wrong.  These charts are not LOL funny, but perhaps humorous on a subconscious level.  Thats what I [...]

Trying something new here.  This is a timeline for the most part, but with various accompanying visuals and marginalia.  I think the overall point is clear though.  Beware! Low data-to-ink ratio.
It’s also my first extreme horizontal piece and I think mint.com did a great job making a template for it.
To support my work please digg [...]

Sure Google has 66% of the search market.  But what defines a monopoly, at least as far as the government is concerned, is shifting and interpretive set of criteria.
Search isn’t steel, or oil.  Monopolizing ‘finding stuff on the net’ can have a huge far reaching impact, as it operates as a gateway to information.  So [...]

This infographic article one for Mint.com deals with the unseen pitfalls that beset you when you buy a Gift Card.  Basically you are trading legal tender for a tenuous and fleeting corporate contract, designed to part you with your money in a host of nefarious ways.  Oh and the State can confiscate your gift cards too.

This one, which is more of a graphic article than infographic, is hugely important.  What we are doing to our students, that the government is a willing participant in, is outrageous.
Forget credit card debt, our educational loan industry is producing a generation of students shackled with exploding and uncompromising debt.  The federal government has stripped students of [...]

So I have seen plenty of giant lists of Google’s acquisitions and I knew there was a better way to display that info.  So I combined a bunch of variables and data points from each acquisition into a single chart.  Is it too complex? Too many variables? useful? Interesting? Let me know.  This is definitely [...]

This one is quite large.  A visual history of Search and what it took, who it took, to make it possible to find stuff on the web.  Starts in 1994 and goes on up to Google’s dominance.

So this infographic went through a tumultuous history which I won’t get into.  But I must give credit to Barry Ritholtz for picking it up and publishing it when others wouldn’t.  After many weeks in limbo, this infographic is finally seeing the light of day.  Enjoy!

So most of you know me for me freelance infographics and the Death and Taxes poster. However for the past year, myself and a small team of developers, artists and smart folks have been laboring away on a project in an entirely different space. Turn based online strategy gaming.

I knew poker had been getting big for some time now, but I had no idea the amount of money involved was so huge.    $8 million for one tournament?  I read recently that the team salary cap for Major League Soccer is only $2.4 million.  I know it’s soccer.. but still.  Enjoy.

This one was quite fun and interesting to research.  We all know Rain man but some of these folks have quite superhuman abilities that show that the brain is capable of way more than we can ‘unlock’ from it.  And it’s not just autism or some genetic mutation, these savant abilities may just be dormant [...]
