Graph of Graphs of Things

Inferred Data

Today's update is two graphs from inferred data,
The first from Last Comic Standing I've attempted to show the laughs per hour of this show over time. You can see two things, first the anomalous spike around week 7 where it was actually kinda funny (as agreed by quasi professionals). Then it tanked.




This graph could probably also represent Robin William's Career.


The second graph is a overlay line chart of the tolerability of Jared Fogel overlayed with his weight.
Now I'm now here to hate, I'll leave that to others I'm just bringing the graphs.

Sam, the idea is great. Fantastic even. The internet is full of data, and an intolerably small amount is actually graphed.

But the follow through leaves something to be desired. Especially with regard to the type and style of graph used. I recommend that you look up Edward Tufte, and then read everything he has written. Or at least his essay on Powerpoint entitled "The cognitive style of powerpoint: pitching out corrupts within"
