“Selections from a captivating history of timelines—from time circles to time dragons, to a history of the world drawn on a single piece of paper.” Permalink ·

Visualising Ireland’s public data. I wish they would make more of an effort to advertise these things; it would educate the public better as to how Census information is applied and for what purposes. Permalink ·
Kurt Vonnegut explains the shapes of stories
