One of the most useful works training days I've ever spent was attending a one day seminar by Professor Ed Tufte on "Envisioning Information." Tufte's "Visual Display of Quantitative Information" is a must read if you can't attend the course.
Time Magazine had a great graphic showing how Obama and Romney built their electoral college totals. Prof. Tufte would be proud.
An unemployed electrician from Green, Ohio, embarked on a quest last Friday to set a new record for the world's longest individual fist-pump.
My parent's generation had flagpole-sitting and phone-booth stuffing and I think their parents did dance marathons. Today, Generation Y gets busty babes cheering when they break the record for consecutive fist-pumps.
I'm trying to remember some Guinness Records set by my generation, but all i can thing of is girls making really long chains of gum wrappers, seeing how many candles you could have drip on a cheap wine bottle and maybe the biggest collection of Wishnik Trolls?
