As I stated earlier this week, I spent the first half of the week in Wisconsin research my family history. And I really will try to get to it next week. But, beyond the vital records and recorded stories, I am also intrigued by how our ethnic histories break down genetically. That gets us to today’s post from xkcd.

Happy Friday, everyone. Xkcd had a post this week about volcanos and it is an illustrated guide to the various different types of volcanos that exist. Well worth a look.

I admit that today’s post has absolutely nothing to do with data visualisation or information design. But, given my personal experiences the last few weeks, I thought it was worth sharing on a Friday. So please enjoy the work of xkcd.

Funny story, a virus hit my workplace this week. And it basically cost us four days of work because nobody could actually access their work files. That made me remember this recent piece from xkcd, which is so very apropos at the end of this week.

Don’t you just hate it when you stumble upon a map, but you cannot place the time period of the geographies? Well if you haven’t, who cares, because xkcd has a great flowchart to help you anyway.
