Entertainment || Graph of the Week: Musician Expectations [February 9, 2010]

Here’s a Venn Diagram outlining some reasonable expectations of two popular music-makers.  (Note: I used graphjam.com’s Chart Builder for this one.  Sorry, Excel; you know I still love you.)

Tech || GotW: Colors [January 23, 2010]

Well, Graph of the Week has definitely become quite an inaccurately named feature.  But on the off chance that it’s established a cult following, I’m not going to change it.  If anyone asks, just tell them the title’s ironic, and everyone knows it means “Graph Whenever Matt Feels Like It.”
