For those less technically inclined, this is probably a boring entry. Not nearly exciting as planting a garden or something...

Google, in their never ending bid to take over the world, has created a chart API, which allows anyone to embed pretty graphics into their web pages without having to do all the nasty work of actually generating the graphic. You just feed them the data and it spits back an image.

Here are a few example charts, generated by Google on the fly:
        

Lots of possibilities here ...!

Google Chart API

Oh NOOOOOO! Another cool thing with which I have absolutely no hope of becoming proficient. On the fourth tuesdays after the first full moon in December I occasionally force myself to make a chart in Word, and I'm struggling to do that. Must...learn...technical...things...

And hey, I thought it was Microsoft and Yahoo that were trying to take over the world. There are WAY too many tech companies trying to TOTW. It's like a movie with too many petty bad guys.

Besides, the cats and I had already scheduled that for February. What's up with that?

We are sad, aren't we. Gardens, photography, charts. We all need to find something universally interesting to get jazzed about. Like the Patriots or something. (No, I did not just squirt juice out of my nose laughing.)
