The book of David McCandless, a London-based author, writer and designer.
"A passion of mine is for visualizing information – facts, data, ideas, subjects, issues, statistics, questions – all with the minimum of words.
I’m interested in how designed information can help us understand the world, cut through BS and reveal hidden connections, patterns and stories underneath. Or, failing that, it can just look cool!
My pet-hate is pie charts. Love pie. Hate pie-charts."

"Running the Numbers looks at contemporary American culture through the austere lens of statistics. Each image portrays a specific quantity of something: fifteen million sheets of office paper (five minutes of paper use); 106,000 aluminum cans (thirty seconds of can consumption) and so on. My hope is that images representing these quantities might have a different effect than the raw numbers alone, such as we find daily in articles and books. Statistics can feel abstract and anesthetizing, making it difficult to connect with and make meaning of 3.6 million SUV sales in one year, for example, or 2.3 million Americans in prison, or 32,000 breast augmentation surgeries in the U.S. every month."

About a decade ago, search engines judged pages only on the content of web pages, not any so-called "off-page" factors such as the links pointing to a web page. In those days, keyword meta tags quickly became an area where someone could stuff often-irrelevant keywords without typical visitors ever seeing those keywords. Because the keywords meta tag was so often abused, many years ago Google began disregarding the keywords meta tag.

At EuroNews we believe in the intelligence of our viewers and we think that the mission of a news channel is to deliver facts without any opinion or bias, so that the viewers can make their own opinion on world events. We also think that sometimes images need no explanation or commentary, which is why we created No Comment and now No Comment TV: to show the world from a different angle.

“BitTorrent is the name of a peer-to-peer (P2P) file distribution protocol, and is the name of a free software implementation of that protocol. The protocol was originally designed and created by programmer Bram Cohen. BitTorrent is designed to distribute large amounts of data widely without incurring the corresponding consumption in costly server and bandwidth resources.” (Source: Wikipedia)

“JC, Jonni, and I invested a tremendous amount of personal effort and energy into the creation of this site. It all began from our personal passion for cigars and our mutual friendship for one another. We knew that three gringos from the East Coast could publish a better cigar resource than anyone else online if we tried. For over three years in our spare time, we worked to create CNX as you see it today.”
“Over the years there have been many articles written on how to ID Cuban cigars, but personally, I have always felt they lacked the needed detail to help the average consumer. I have tried my best to compile the insights I have developed over the last decade into a primer than will immediately help the uneducated to quickly identify suspicious cigars from the real deal. Although I consider this to be the ultimate article ever written on the subject, however it is not a foolproof system. Only years of close attention to detail and experience will afford you the ability to easily and definitively determine fake Havanas from real.”
