Math + Fashion

golden spiral earings
Just in time for the holiday party season. Nothing says don’t talk to me–I’m a geek–like this pair of golden spiral earrings. Just kidding, every math prof in the room will love you. Look good and keep great company.

I love the presentation of this wired article. They use mathematical equations, graphs, and charts to explain Somali pirating.

Graphs on Crack

use time
The NY Times put up this unbelievable interactive chart created from government data on how people use their time. I found it on a great feed call Junkcharts, dedicated to ridding the world of bad infographics. Check out their write up on the site. They expose some interesting relationships between demographic factors. The chart also kind of reminds me of a cool infographic posted on earlier using similar data for Japan. Does anyone know what the NY Times is using to render their graphic? Is it Processing like the Japanese graphic?

A student I ran across during registration put me onto this interesting algorithmic art site (prepare to waste time) called Algorithm Ink. The code is even open so you can mess around with your own drawings. Thanks, Brian!
