Famous Trips in History #
GOOD has a pretty interesting map of history’s greatest journeys. Worth a look.

What Every Mile Costs #
Nothing in this table about the cost of driving different vehicles should surprise you, but the presentation’s rather clever.
American Expats in China #
Good Magazine has released their second set of interviews with expats in China. The first is here. They offer an interesting perspective on China and why one might choose to live there.
Measuring the Senate #
Finally, Good Magazine has a chart that’s both nice looking and easy to understand. These are some interesting numbers.
The Cost of (Re)Building #
As further proof that I’ll link to any graph Good Magazine puts out, no matter how little sense or value I can derive from it: a chart of how much money went to which military contractors.
Poll Position #
Good Magazine makes really nice looking charts, even if they’re not that easy to make sense of. This one’s about errors in polling through the last few decades. I have to admit that I couldn’t find a meaningful conclusion to draw from it. I just thought it looked cool.
Who Pays for that Museum? #
Stilling showing a penchant for interesting but useless charts (something I understand far too well) Good takes a look at the price of museum admission.
Trophy Sizes #
I may be a lot of thing, but “able to restrain himself from posting interesting but pointless charts” is not one of them. This one, from GOOD Magazine, compares the weight and height of different trophies given for many different reasons.

The Conglomerates Own Organic #
Perhaps this shouldn’t have surprised me, but it did. As Good Magazine makes clear, all of my favorite “small” food brands are owned by conglomerates. Some day I’ll really learn that lesson.
