Graphs Gathered from Blogs (May 2005)

Here is a large collection of charts and figures. The data are generally expressed graphically and were gathered from various blogs during the month. Below each graph or chart are the name of the blog and links back to the originating post. The organization is chronological by
blog.

Please note that in many cases, the graphs will be much clearer at the source due to different scaling and because there are often larger and clearer versions available. I forced all graphs into one format and in some cases that affected the clarity.
