Chris Sebastian - Redistribution of Facebook Free Time
Since 2009, I have spent most of my disposable online free time on Tumblr (which you already knew). You had a good run, though, Facebook.
![I would love to see a breakdown of the US by region and the colleges each region emphasizes as “top”— broken down again to reveal the matriculation of the region’s public, private, and parochial school students.
I’m curious because I think different colleges carry different weight in the minds of high school applicants (and parents, and counselors, and…) in different parts of the country. For example, Georgetown in the East vs. Georgetown in Texas.

In mathematical statistics, economics, and econophysics, the King effect refers to the phenomenon where the top one or two members of a ranked set show up as outliers. These top one or two members are unexpectedly large because they do not conform to a statistical distribution or rank-distribution which the remainder of the set obeys well.

Charts and graphs! NYFW SS12 vs. LFW SS12:
Every season, designers play with colours from the same palette. That’s not a coincidence, it’s the work of forecasters, fabric suppliers and vendors like Pantone.

First: Explore every graph, chart, and table on Radical Cartography—wonderful, interesting material. I believe every graphic was made by Bill Rankin. The above graphic compares the relative sizes of the US and Europe.
Second, the meat and potatoes: The following maps display the population density and proportion of various groups across the country. Information is taken from the 2000 Census on six groups: white, black, Hispanic, Asian, Alaskan/ Native American, and Hawaiian/ Pacific Islander.
Third: The twelve images follow below (you may not be able to see them in your Dashboard or Reader, so visit the direct link to my entry). You can click each image for a larger view.
