I rarely make another blog the focus of a post, but I think this one is deserving. Ms Jessica Hagy runs an extremely clever blog called indexed that everyone should visit, daily, for a good, intellectually-stimulating laugh.
Every few days Ms Hagy releases a handful of hand-written, scanned index cards–usually a Venn diagram or a scatterplot variant–that make a very clever social statement, such as this:
(Shows a parabolic curve of "people who mock you" versus "how well you're doing", the implication being that a novice and an expert will be heavily mocked but those in the average range will not). I can relate to this perfectly right now.
Indexed is one of my all-time favourite blogs. Often thought-provoking, always amusing, I would be amazed if Ms Hagy doesn't end up with a contract to provide a magazine or quasi-scholarly publication with "comics".
Directly inspired by Ms Hagy's blog, Clemens Kogler and Karo Szmit made a short film in the same spirit called Le Grand Content. It is narrated by Andre Tschinder and happily available on YouTube, included below.
