I’ve started to miss making blog posts with fancy diagramme, mind-blowing pie charts.

The Open letter from Opera’s CTO published in The Register has given me the opportunity to drawn this blog under the total wisdom of yet another pie chart as buried in the comments to the article, I found this:

You’ll notice it’s in the same vein as that one from last year

In April I posted here about Life expressed as a series of pie-charts.

Many metrics were probably missing but Xkcd.org has contributing to one:

At lunchtime today, we were discussing about the trouble a colleague had to get a builder to install/repair a sceptic tank in a house in France, troubles due to language barrier. The colleague was advised to ask me … to be a translator.
For one moment I thought it was for my expertise in “toilets” , so I said.
Therefore, to be true to my reputation, here is another blog post on the subject found today:

Woman falls six stories into pile of crap: “David Pescovitz:
A woman in Nanjing, China fell off a sixth floor balcony and survived thanks to a pile of poop on the ground below. From Sky News:

‘She landed in a 20cm thick heap of excrement,’ the Kuaibao tabloid newspaper gleefully reported.

‘Workers happened to be emptying the building’s septic tank, which had not been tended for a long time, and had regularly blocked sewage pipes.

Everybody knows that a picture is worth a thousand words, but this guy is pushing the concept to a whole new dimension: his life.

Also it’s been awhile since last time I’ve posted pie charts

Life expressed as a series of pie-charts: “Cory Doctorow:

Craig Robinson has drawn up a page of pie-charts expressing facts about his life to date, such as portion of his life that his father was alive, percentage of countries visited, percentage of life supporting the Liverpool Football Club. Love the juxtaposition of the banal and the profound.

According to Ars Technica, Ford and Microsoft are going to work together on the dashboard OS of some of Ford 2008 vehicles.

I guess we will soon have plenty of illustrations for the old joke (If Microsoft made cars…)
