Cool Website of the Week

 Pin It
by on July 8, 2008

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:

About the Author
Jay Thompson

I'm a real estate broker in Phoenix, Arizona and the publisher of the Phoenix Real Estate Guy blog. I tend to drive too fast and scream at the University of Texas and Denver Broncos football teams. My two kids are smarter than most adults I know and my wife is simply amazing.

Comments

We always appreciate your comments! Phoenix Real Estate Guy uses two commenting systems, Facebook and LiveFyre. LiveFyre is the most robust system (and easy to use!). It allows you to login with Twitter, Facebook, Google+ LinkedIn, OpenId, LiveFyre and as a "Guest". I recommend getting a LiveFyre account, it has some great features (just click the LiveFyre button when you write your comment).

 

BLOG COMMENT POLICY: We respectfully ask that you use your real name (first name only is fine) and not use keywords (Why no keywords?). The only real "comment rules" are be civil -- no personal attacks -- and no advertising. (See the full comment policy here). Opinion and debate are welcome, but attack the idea, not the person.

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.

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

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.
