Nice day outside.

Sat, 18 May 2013 13:33:02 -0400

It’s a nice day outside and I think this will bring good greetings to this Victoria’s day weekend. However I will admit with all the school work one must do, this weekend will require work which I hoped would not be the case. Otherwise I feel this will be a great weekend and which brings to mind that I have things I need to get done like hobbies so I need to start doing those as well.

Weather can be quite odd and obstructionist

Weather can be quite interesting as was the case last Saturday.I wasn’t expecting an snowstorm Saturday yet it happened.It goes to show mother nature doesn’t care what you got planned(shopping) it will do what it WANTS.Which sucks if you want to do things hence again the shopping that never got done):

Weather

The weather yesterday was quite weird as in the morning it was cold but begin to warm up by noon.The mist that showed itself in the morning and throughout the day was mysterious.It was fog like but had a clear yet gentle feel to it.The ground had Snow on it but by afternoon it was going away.It rained throughout the day and the result was that it was quite damp outside.It will be 13c today then the next day it will be -2c outside.I wonder if all this weather is just a normal pattern or what those in lab coats call “Global Warming”.In either case the weather will be quite odd and for that I will be thankful,for January has been quite boring so far.

Tired with just reblogging.

They are now worth $1.9 trillion: just a little less than the entire output of the United Kingdom.

This is not the result of chance. The rise in the fortunes of the super-rich is the direct result of policies. Here are a few: the reduction of tax rates and tax enforcement; governments’…

guardian:

Infographics and data visualisations are nothing new. Take this one from the Guardian dated April 14, 1912: The article looks at the size of the super liners with the intro: “With the White Star Titanic, the largest liner afloat, to-day midway on her maiden voyage to New York…” Three days later the liner sturck an iceberg and sank with the deaths of 1,502 people.

This selection from the archive shows how visualising data in the age of black and white print really worked in an age before computers made it all so easy and print was for letters not images
