I am not a big fan of fully justified text. I get it, in things like newspaper and narrow blocks of copy, it can make sense. Although in those situations, again, personal preference is flush left ragged right. But, for when you do have to fully justify your text, xkcd has a guide to deal with those tricky situations where you have very few characters on a line.

Happy Friday, all. Today’s piece is funny, but also hits fairly close to home. Not that I live in or near Nebraska. But I work near Excel spreadsheets.

Well today is Friday, so let’s leave the politics of this week behind and just enjoy the great United States of America.
Wait a minute…

It’s Friday, everybody. Let’s take a bit of a break from the election stuff of this past week and look at the pipelines of your liquid consumption.

Admittedly today’s piece fails to deliver on the data visualisation and information design spectrum. But I found it hilarious and apropos to this week’s content.

Thanks, Brazilian tree forest company, for inspiring cities to provide us with water on demand.

In the wake of Volkswagen, this piece from xkcd seemed appropriate this Friday.

I’m Irish—my ancestors were from the southern part—and so I grew up Catholic and I went to Catholic schools. So I know some of my Jesus stories. There’s that one story about how at the end of some guy’s life he looks back at a beach—I have no idea what life means being on a beach—where he walked. He sees two sets of footprints and asks Jesus, “Bro, why are there two sets?”
“Dude bro, that’s me.”
“Whoa, then why are there sometimes only one set?”
“That’s when I carried you.”
My interpretation of Jesus speech notwithstanding, it’s one of those stories that is supposed to teach you that you are not alone. Probably because the thought of being a random event in the entire series of random events in the universe(s?) frightens people. Anyway, Randall Munroe over at xkcd took a look at the footprints story. Happy Friday, all. (And you too, bro. That’s right, I’m looking at you, Jesus.)
Even when things are funny, I do not always laugh aloud. This xkcd post, however, made me do just that. And for that, it’s going up on the blog as today’s graphic of choice.

And of course a week with awesome science-y space news is not complete without a little bit of xkcd.
