If the Lakers played with half as much energy as they did in the last 3 minutes, maybe they wouldn’t be headed to Game 6. So close, yet so so far… 3 down, 13 more to go.
And there were political moments, too. In the heat of the first wave of the Occupy movement, I produced this chart, which addressed the inherent unfairness of the alphabet. I passed it out around New York City. Some people took it with a grain of salt; others, with an entire shaker.
Salt, of course, was the source of one of the pieces I created for ILoveCharts that wasn’t exactly a chart. It’s in the book, so I won’t reprint it here. I will only remind you to go out and buy the book, so that you can experience the glory of the chart form in all its rational, irrational, sensible, senseless glory.

hope he follows through with it.
I sent DeShawn Stevenson my photo of Abraham Lincoln with a DeShawn Stevenson tattoo. He “loved” it, and retweeted.

MUST WATCH: Kobe Bryant
A reader, @unjadded, sent me this video of Kobe Bryant and said,
“This is the greatest Kobe vid ever. The world has been waiting for this.”
If it’s not the best Kobe video, it’s giving the best a run for it’s money. And I don’t know about the “world” waiting for this, but I certainly was.
Phenomenal work from the man who put this together, Kevin Rea.
