Starting this week I will post cool infographics from around the web, 4-5 of them a week to inspire , to give more ideas on presenting information and to provide some eye candy for awesome readers @ Pointy Haired Dilbert.
Go ahead, click through these awesome graphics:
California Walkability Score Heat Map
Lee Byron took the Walksocre for california locations and highlighted them on the map to generate this beautiful infographic. [via flowingdata]
Mozilla Firefox vs. Internet Explorer Security Incidents – Cool Square Pie
This chart is nothing but a square pie chart (or totally defragged partition chart), effective, easy on eye and tells one point as Seth Godin suggested 🙂 [via coolinfographics]
This map shows % of land owned by federal government vs. total land for each state in the US map, pretty cool even though it could be difficult to immediately interpret anything due to varying areas of each state.
This is not entirely a chart, but uses the ideas to tell people how much they will be fined based on their how much their pants sagged. Pretty neat 😀 [via Publication Design]
Visualizing Large Text Data – The trick is in colors
The biggest challenge of the Petabyte Age won’t be storing all that data, it’ll be figuring out how to make sense of it.
well, we are fortunate to have people like Martin Wattenberg who thrive to get the meaning out of all those petabytes. [via FlowingData]
Hope you enjoyed these charts 🙂
Have any neat infographics / charts and want them to featured on this blog? Drop me a comment or email me at chandoo [dot] d [at] gmail [dot] com.

CONGRATS on the book!
Thanks for this podcast. It's great to hear about your disaster and recovery. It's a reminder that we're all human. None of this skill came easily.
Thank you Oz. I believe that we learn most by analyzing our mistakes.
Hey chandoo
this really a good lesson learned
but as I have already stated in one of my previous email that it would be more helpful for us if you could release videos of your classes for us
thanks
The article gave me motivation, especially you describing the terrible disaster that you faced but how to get back from the setbacks. Thanks for that, but with video this will be more fun.
Hi Nafi,
Thanks for your comments. Please note that this is (and will be) audio podcast. For videos, I suggest subscribing to our YouTube channel. No point listening to audio and saying its not video.
You always motivate me with respect of the tools in excel. How we can really exploit it to the fullest. Thanks very much
Thank you Amankwah... 🙂
Thank you very much, Chandoo, for your excellent lessons, I am anxious to learn so valuable tips and tricks from you, keep up the great job!
I truly appreciate the transcripts of the podcasts, because as a speaker of English as a second language, it allows me to fully understand the material. It'd be great if you can add transcripts to your online courses too, I am sure people will welcome this feature.
Dashboards for Excel has arrived in Laguna Beach, CA! Thanks!
Now I need to make time to "learn and inwardly digest" its contents as one of my high school teachers would admonish us!
