Mr Reid's Favourites
I like this, especially first and last. Lots of great info. The bars in 1 are super slick looking, and I like what you picked to share in 4. Always love finding another knitter among us. Second requires a long look to get, but has a nice payoff. Third struck me as a throw-away, but maybe it’s because the context is not as strong as for the others. Are these actual figure in Slide 1 and 2, or based on “Enron accounting”?
Slide 1 and 2 are based on real data: the data for slide 1 comes from my diary and the data from slide 2 is a direct export from Microsoft Money. I left the scale off number 2 for privacy’s sake but if you think about the function you can just about work it out!
