Indexed I have been totally loving this little book by Jessica Hagy called Indexed:

With a few deft lines, she manages to communicate a whole lot more information then you would imagine possible, in quite an amusing and witty way.

Some of her stuff comes dangerously close to chart porn.

I posted a few more examples after the jump.

Great stuff . . .

    Barry, if you enjoy this you’ll also like XKCD, probably the most popular online web cartoon for nerds right now.

    I am half-amazed, half-amused, half-dissapointed (yeah, I know it’s three halfs) that this is the sum of the responses. These are perhaps too close to home? What you posted was great, her blog has a treasure trove of hilarity/irony. Check the “Booze” category.
