Back in 2007, GOOD magazine thought up this clever way to show statistics about internet porn without losing the viewer’s attention. Did it work? Yes (I watched the whole thing and learned a few things here and there). [via]

Unemployment rates in major metropolitan cities
August 4, 2009 @ 10:10 pm
GOOD has this great infographic of jobless rates in major US cities, comparing unemployment numbers in 2008 with unemployment numbers in 2009. As one would assume based upon the state of the economy in the US, unemployment rates are pretty high in major cities. It’s interesting though to see that unemployment isn’t hitting the middle US as hard. I wonder why.

Photos of Los Angeles traffic by Benny Chan

GOOD has some nice photos of traffic in Los Angeles from photographer Benny Chan who took the photos over the course of several years in helicopter trips over the city. The nice thing is that GOOD is offering pretty large versions of each picture so that you can see detail in full.
Stupid public transportation infographic
April 15, 2009 @ 1:46 am
I’m sorry but this is one of the worst infographics that GOOD Magazine has ever published. It attempts to explain the current public transportation crisis in the United States using the iconic subway map architecture as a model. The infographic is separated into 3 main sections: job losses, service cuts, and fare hikes. And instead of telling the viewer important information like how many jobs were lost or how much money was cut or how much fares rose, the infographic simply states that these events happened to various systems in the US. Big whoop. Of course they happened in the US, otherwise you wouldn’t be making a chart about it would you?
In the end, all this graph really tells you is how many people ride various transportation systems in the US (which honestly, I think could be handled better than using fat lines and skinny lines — especially if the numbers are already stated in numerical form).
