While meandering through a Twitter stream, I took an unmarked left-turn and wound up on CrappyGraphs.com. It’s a very different blog run by Brian Shaler, a Phoenix area “web developer, marketing specialist, writer,
speaker, social media aficionado, visual statistician, photographer,
and exceptional jumper”.
CrappyGraphs has nothing to do with real estate (though it could have real estate statistics applications. . .)
If however, you’ve got a little geek and/or engineer in you, there are some hilarious graphs to be found. I spent way too many years in Corporate America viewing umpteen thousand line graphs and really bad Venn Diagrams. I wish CrappyGraphs had been around then.
You can even make your own CrappyGraph! (warning: it is addicting, so be careful!)
Here’s one I just created, moments after deleting the daily hundred or so spam comments that this blog seems to collect:
Go ahead, give it a whirl!

Nice find Jay.
As far as email goes - I have over half of a dozen email accounts that I check on daily bases. For the last 3 years it’s been my daily “job” to weed through over 1000 emails every single day. Sometimes I would go 2-3 days without checking just because I hated it so much.
At some point I read an article on email work flow at problogger where Darren shared the same headache, and how he is the happiest guy since he forwarded all his mail to Gmail.
So, about a month ago I switched. I created filters (message rules) and from now on I spent only minutes a day to actually check my emails and write back - the “job position” of an “email weeder” got dissolved by Gmail. I’m happy to unemployed this way
Sorry to be so much off the topic, but I thought this may be of help to you.

It’s been a long while since any non-government graph made me laugh.

“It’s been a long while since any non-government graph made me laugh.” Now that was good commentary

Wanted to play around, but the site seems to be down. Will check back later.

Awesome. There are so many graphs that I want to create. You could graph your heart rate/blood pressure during the traumatic phone call about your son’s accident. I’m so glad he is ok.
