This excerpt from Hans Rosling’s BBC4 show, The Joy of Stats, is a fascinating condensed view of how radically income and life expectancy have shifted in the past 200 years. If only all data was this fun to look at.

As a nice contrast to yesterday’s time lapse photography, here’s some ultra high frame-rate footage of things vibrating.

Mindrelic – Manhattan in motion from Mindrelic on Vimeo.
What can I say? Stop motion photography is cool. And Mandrelic seems to be a master in the making. Even his other tests manage to add a subtle sense of depth and motion that goes beyond just “speeding things up”. I applaud his patience and consistency as it’s paying off big time. Would be cool to see this with some more dramatic music.
