Each image portrays a specific quantity of something: fifteen million sheets of office paper (five minutes of paper use); 106,000 aluminum cans (thirty seconds of can consumption) and so on. My hope is that images representing these quantities might have a different effect than the raw numbers alone, such as we find daily in articles and books. Statistics can feel abstract and anesthetizing, making it difficult to connect with and make meaning of 3.6 million SUV sales in one year, for example, or 2.3 million Americans in prison, or 32,000 breast augmentation surgeries in the U.S. every month. fjordaan Thu, 06 Nov 2008 00:17:44 GMT http://www.bt.com/friends-family/ fjordaan Sun, 22 Oct 2000 16:55:23 GMT http://whocallsme.com/ This is a user supplied database of phone numbers of telemarketers, non-profit organizations, charities, political surveyors, SCAM artists, and other companies that don't leave messages, disconnect once you answer, ignore the Do-Not-Call List regulations, and simply interrupt your day. fjordaan Mon, 27 Apr 2009 14:04:03 GMT http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?1:msp:47066:pinjdegpdglekgkmlffi fjordaan Wed, 25 Sep 2002 21:47:03 GMT http://www.chrisjordan.com/current_set2.php?id=7 fjordaan Mon, 14 May 2007 22:08:25 GMT http://thinkingmeat.com/newsblog/?p=1051 People who are presented with a price in round numbers (e.g., $30 for a flash drive, or $200,000 for a house) are more likely to make a counter-offer that differs from the asking price in round numbers—in other words, that differs more significantly from the asking price. On the other hand, more precise prices ($29.95 or $197,500) get people thinking about more subtle differences, and they’re likely to come back with a counter-offer closer to the asking price. fjordaan Mon, 21 Apr 2008 12:39:50 GMT http://styleguide.wustl.edu/index.html fjordaan Mon, 10 Sep 2001 20:22:09 GMT
