Google - really? I'm that thick?

Oy! Google!!

Cut it out. Okay, I get it, you have access to my email, my photos and videos and even some of my purchases around the interwebs but now you are just taking the mickey.

As you may know I work in a Google environment. I love Google and all that they stand for. Google circles? Still getting my head around that one but otherwise, Google me blue, red, yellow and green.

But stop!

What is this?


I'm in the back end of a website doing statistical analysis of their traffic and you feel I need to know what an iPad looks like? And even if I didn't know, how will the look of a device help my analysis?

Yes Google, I love you dearly, but you caught me on a bad day.

Venn vill I be famous?

The Venn Diagram is making a comeback.

Edwards' Venn diagram of six setsImage via Wikipedia


As we all know, Venn diagrams are diagrams that show all hypothetically possible logical relations between a finite collection of sets (groups of things).

Venn diagrams were conceived around 1880 by John Venn. They are used to teach elementary set theory, as well as illustrate simple set relationships in probability, logic, statistics, linguistics and computer science. *




As the above image shows, these diagrams can be very complicated and intricate.


Or they can be as simple as siblings' children;



Over at www.graphjam.com they regularly use Venn diagrams to get laughs at our everyday nonsense that we go through as humans. I prefer to use Mr. Venn's amazing creation to explain, in an easy and efficient manner, just how my life works;
