As a side note this map would have been perfect for last Thursday when I had tickets to attend Paul McCartney's opening night concert. Alas I couldn't find the time to get to Pittsburgh from DC. I gave my friend the ticket and he said the arena was awesome, specifically commenting on the massive output from the HVAC units.]]>

This infographic from www.joomlablogger.net, is excellent and super informative. I really love the way that the graphic utilizes actual screenshots to not only tell you what the changes are in Joomla! 1.6 but also teach you what the menus look like and where they are in relation to the other menus.]]>

While there is much debate about this infographic being 'bad' due to the with arc length vs. value, the design is nice and you can still retrieve some relevant data from it. If you want to read about why this infographic doesn't work, please go here to Peltier Tech Blog.

Today's MOTD, information provided from Medical Insurance.org, is a very fun infographic showing the different menu items that McDonalds offers across the world. Some of the more notable offerings I would be interested in trying were the Maharaja Mac, a burger made with lamb and chicken, the McTurco, turkey fried pita with 2 patties and a pepper sauce and then wash it all down with a beer that is available in Germany.]]>

I know I am a little late to the World Cup soccer infographic party but i really liked how this bracket simplified information without using words. It is a shame that the author choose to use words at all because we can figure out which round is which without the header at the top and the thickness of the winning line representing the number of goals could be inferred...i believe.]]>

Today's MOTD is from Rama Hoetzlein and is an easy to read timeline of 20th century art theory. A short paragraph and bio from his website are below:
I seek to develop the theoretical foundations of new media art, to extend its conceptual and technical limits, and to develop a curricula and context for its education. My research and artwork extends beyond the natural sciences in media arts (physics, bio, nano, organic, etc.), to explore human-level topics such as emotion, psychology, intelligence, and society. My goal is to develop new paradigms for imagination and creativity in media arts.
