Wordle
Learned about Wordle via cygnoir. Played with it with my Delicious bookmarks as the resource.
Saved the Java applet results with CutePDF Writer, then pulled the PDF into Photoshop, messed with it and saved it as a .jpg.
Voilà!
So, a bit early, but heartfelt, nonetheless:

Reverse Graffiti Project
Reverse Graffiti Project, April 2008, Broadway Tunnel, San Francisco.
Brilliant, but ... if the work hadn't been pretty, it would've been just as snarly as those folks who spray paint crappy letters on walls.
Good ad for the green cleaner used.

Deets [PDF]
Below is yet another tax plan analysis chart, this one from Freakanomics.

Tax Plans (that's one for you, nineteen for me).
From Viveka Weiley at chartjunk, a rework of the McCain/Obama Tax Plans chart (that's one for you, nineteen for me) showing the differences between the Republican and Democrat tax cut proposals.
This version of the chart weights the income brackets so a bracket with more tax payers is larger than a bracket with fewer tax payers.
Save that thought.

: views from the Hill
Bertold Brecht:
Everything changes. You can make
A fresh start with your final breath.
But what has happened has happened. And the water
You once poured into the wine cannot be
Drained off again.
