There’s no better way to present info to today’s ADD-riddled kids than through a colorful infographic. And why not have that infographic compare our can’t-sit-still generation to their predecessors. Click on through for an interesting look at kids today and kids 30 years ago from BED.
So, back when Randall Munroe updated his blogo/social network-sphere map a couple of months ago, I decided to delve back into my posting of amusing maps floating around on the interwebs regarding geocentric ignorance. Well, Munroe has taken on the subject himself in an appropriately XKCD manner.

From WI[S]M and Calvin & Hobbes.
For the record, my resolution is to take a bit more me time this year. Spend it a little less on things I do for work and a bit more on things I do for me, my friends and my family.
MySpace has produced an information packed graphic going over the best and worst (as well as the biggest deaths) in the film industry in 2010.

A little over a year ago, I posted a series of some of the Web’s best entertaining maps. These ranged from amusing stereotyped looking glasses of how people see the world to XKCD’s map of online communities.
A year later, Randall Munroe updated his map of online communities to include recent changes in the interwebs and I decided to go searching for some new, funny maps. After the jump, I lead it off with Munroe’s latest.
I rarely just operate as a bookmark to a blog post that I really like, but a gent named Darryl Cunningham put together an incredibly accessible and concise discussion (in cartoon form) of a topic that is dear to me: climate change. To be more precise, I’ve been fascinated by Americans (and, more recently, the Brits) and their ability to be engrossed in climate change denial.
Click the image below to be taken to Cunningham’s blog post and the full, multi-cel journey through the ridiculousness of deniers. For further reading, see the below links.

I’ve been a little in absentia the last few weeks due to a ton of work and going through the slow process of moving into my new apartment (home ownership, yeah!). In any respect, one of the easier things to publish is an interesting infographic.
Here’s one on 35 little life hacks you should know, produced by TheirToys.com.

If Calvin and Hobbes is my favorite print cartoon (and it is), then its online counterpart is xkcd. The brainchild of former NASA robotics engineer Randall Munroe, it is a webcomic that mixes romance, sarcasm, math, and language. Most of all, it speaks to the sense of humor of the internet and geek culture in general. Some of it is obscure and flies over my head, but a good number of the comics just hit home and tickle the funny bone. And, in the case of my favorite all-time comic ever (Spirit, featured in this post), tugs at the heart-strings.
xkcd also features a great online store with some cool posters, pins and apparel. I rock the “Science: It Works….” t-shirt in my wardrobe (though it admittedly gets less use than it should). Munroe operates under a solid creative commons license, so I’m hosting several of my favorite comics here, though I encourage everyone to visit xkcd.com and to buy the xkcd: volume 0
