GraphJam.com was founded in February 2008 with one mission: to rescue pie charts, Venn diagrams, decision trees, and other graphs from the terminal boredom of the office. Instead of using Excel and PowerPoint to report third- quarter sales or graph capital expenditures versus amortization, GraphJam.com users applied those tools to Jay-Z's song "99 Problems" and Yoda's advice to Luke Skywalker. The result is a thriving community with millions of web visitors whose creativity has produced thousands of graphs and a hilarious new interpretation of pop culture.

This review is from: Graph Out Loud: Music. Movies. Graphs. Awesome. (Mass Market Paperback)
Perfect stocking stuffer for the nerd in your life who was a teenager in the sixties. Graphs based on songs from that era. Hilarious. Will make your favorite nerd laugh out loud.

Great book if you like the web site,

This review is from: Graph Out Loud: Music. Movies. Graphs. Awesome. (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a very funny book that uses graphs and charts to reference funny favorites in pop culture(ex: probability of quitting as a function of legitimacy {aka- The Hammer Theorem}). I have been a fan of the graphjam website for a while and was looking forward to this book. While I found most graphs hilarious, a small handful were uninspired and there were a few that I didn't get the reference. Luckily, an index was provided detailing all of the pop culture references to help anyone scratching their head. All in all, I would suggest this book to anyone up for a good laugh. It is easy to pick up and read, especially if you just have a minute or two to kill and find some quality entertainment.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Lots of fun,

This review is from: Graph Out Loud: Music. Movies. Graphs. Awesome. (Mass Market Paperback)
Although there were certainly graphs I didn't get (probably based on songs I don't know or perhaps movies I haven't seen), the large number that I did know were almost universally amusing or even laugh-out-loud-able. I especially liked the Star Wars charts. I may buy another copy for a friend, because I think my friend would be entertained by this.
