Holiday Gifts for the Data-Addicted
The infosthetics blog offers its "shopping guide for the data-addicted." I was intrigued by the chumby and nabaztag, two devices that offer the charms of the internet divorced from the keyboard/mouse/monitor setup. For the urban planner on your list, don't miss the fly swatter whose mesh is a street map of Milan. For the social science stats crowd, though, the best gift on the list has to be the Death and Taxes poster, depicting the US federal discretionary budget in remarkable detail and clarity. Click on the image below to get a close-up look at the poster.
